Photorealistic Self Portrait #1


I did a simple doodle with a blue markup pencil. I liked elements of it, so I put it on the light table and traced it with a crow's quill and some india ink. I also liked some elements of the ink, but as usually happens I missed the depth I lost when I took the ink off under-drawing. I kept both drawings, so I scanned the pair and recomposited them. Viola. I mean Cello. I mean Banjo. Whatever.
I'm very fond of the curves around this guy's nostrils. It's not a great drawing, but it has a couple of morsels of Seuss and Basil Woverton.
