Hey all! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
I've been helping around my parent's house a lot, so I haven't been able to get as much digital work as I would like. I have nearly finished a painting and just started painting on a table that I am very excited about. When it is finished, I hope to post it here.
On Facebook, a group of my friends have an event to have artists create self-portraits for a week, and I decided to join in. Since I wanted to share some of my process, I figured what better place than here?
I took a photograph and used the polygonal lasso tool in Photoshop to block out basic shapes. Now all I have to do now is to add multiple layers with different tints and shades to show the highlights and shadows. More often than not, that is the most time-consuming part of this technique. One of my favorite patterns is of wood grain, which I incorporated in the background.
I will post updates, and I should be done within the next few days.
I hope that all my American friends have a safe Independence Day!
ENJOY!
