Proposed title of article

How to turn your photo into a cartoon using python.

Introduction paragraph (2-3 paragraphs):

The use of cartoon characters has become a very popular trend among the youth worldwide. This can be seen from whatever they use for their profile pictures on online social platforms to trending memes. The use of these cartoon characters is not only limited to the social platforms but also to other various fields. For example, you can include cartoon characters of real people in school magazines or comics to amuse your readers. In this era of technology, cartoons need not be drawn manually. We have apps that can convert your images easily into cartoons. However, you are only limited to the set custom options within the app. What if I tell you that you can create your desired effect on the image using a few lines of code. In this article, I will teach you how to convert any photo to a cartoon image using a few lines of code written in python. We make use of optimized machine learning algorithms which produce clear and sharp images. You can use this concept to build an app solely for converting any image to a cartoon image. The results are quite impressive.

Key takeaways:

1.Use python modules to solve problems.
2.Tinkering with picture properties to obtain the desired effect.
3.Convert any photo to a cartoon image.
4. Appreciate the importance of machine learning in making work easier.
