Since I am not a portrait expert, I am trying to improve my skills on that. this was an exercise for me trying to do my self-portrait without mirror or any photo reference. So I did this as if I was modeling an sculpture of my face by memory. it was very interesting to paint thinking as sculpturing.

done in painter 7 and photoshop.C&C are welcome,

thats an interesting technique, working only with black/white/grey in painter and then using photoshop to color. out of curiosity was it sort of an experiment or are you just more familiar/favoring to coloring tools in photoshop rather than selecting paint colors in painter itself?

napalm, thats one of the reason I use photoshop, I am familiar to the layers, brush modes and the filters of it. but after that I go to painter again to for more brush work.
