Actually, that is illegal as well. What you have done is create a derivative
work. See this month's Publish article about the COREL Draw contest winner
getting sued over an illustration based on a photograph. Look, save yourself
the trouble and do your own work. If you can't draw, an illustrator can get
it done in about two hours if you know what you want.
