I got a pleasant surprise today. Not even two days after publishing my post on basic portraits do I get asked to do a portrait.
This is a portrait of Nick Duxbury an artist who used to be based in Birmingham but now resides in Scotland.
I used the same methods explained in my previous post except that I took the finished sketch into Inkscape to clean it up a bit. A good move considering the original picture had quite an elongated face!
Here’s the last in my daily pictures for this week. I’ve a busy weekend of parties and more parties, so I’ll do a whole week of drawing another week.
I’ve spent most of my day feeling a little bit ill and learning how to use Blender, so this is more of an experiment than anything. I used a tutorial by istarlome to create this. I found that if you check the Colour option under the Trace tab it will attempt to colour the image as well. Using Inkscape to create halftones could well be a powerful way to do it and gives you many options for editing and customisation.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this week of pictures!
