I love how switching my usual angle (I tend to draw people with their faces looking to the left) made me draw this completely differently than I normally would, and I particularly like the nose and mouth on this face.
i love yow you rendered the wool coat george. can you teach me that, on photoshop or illustrator? incidentally i wrote about how i remember you in college (ojhoferjottings.blogspot.com) i posted some of my favorite from your post. i also wrote about you in my secion for our lifestyle mag. hope you don't mind.
It's really easy, Oj - just select the color that you want for the texture, the go to the menu up left for Filter>Noise>Add Noise and adjust as necessary. Experiment and you'll see different results. make sure you have the color selected by itself, otherwise the whole thing will be noisy. Better yet, do it on its own layer.
And thanks for the lovely write-up, Oj - I'm so flattered! of course, you chose some of my most bastos pieces, hehe.
Almost takes on a gamin-ish look. More youthful and there's a slight innocence to it, as if this were a new street urchin.
ReplyDeletei love that.
