Before continuing to experiment with using digitally distorted photos as underpainting for final images, I thought I'd see if I could still simply do a totally eyeballed picture - no tracing, no sampling, just using a photo reference. So, here's a self portrait done that way - just eyeballed. It's been several years since I've done a portrait this way.
details:
The photo reference:
OK... now back to the serious work of using the digital medium the way it's meant to be used... cheat, cheat, cheat...  -- just joking. I don't consider digital tracing, filtering or sampling as cheating. They're just some of the incredible options available with this extraordinary medium. I may try this same reference photo using the distorted photo underpainting method I've been working with - It'll certainly go faster (the above version took about 10-12 hours), but I'd like to see how it ends up... if it looks any different.

I think it's great. It has much personality!!
The way you do your other portraits (distorted photos) is quite okay I think
'cause the results really show alot of style and are much more interesting than the photo itself. Eyeballing is better practise thought  |

NeFF... Yea... the hand and arm were weird... I've made some changes and it's better, but still off... I may work on it some more... I think it even looks odd in the ref photo... maybe its the angle.

The hand's off, but I dig the face a lot. Do some more like this one Phil.
~M~
Ps. Did you get your copy of "How to do everything in Photoshop Cs" yet? You're tutorial and mine are back to back. Pretty cool huh? I also did the aliens on the cover that are shown pointing at Colin's car, but they were massively art directed, so I had to draw them kinda cartoonie and "cute". Oh well, a fun experience non the less.
