Hand-drawn Face and Digitally Enhanced Drawing

Yesterday, I completed the drawing on the right using Caran d-Ache Supracolor II Soft pencils.

The drawing was then used as the base for the digitally-edited/-enhanced version on the left. The finished image was painted and areas blended, and it includes two of my photo images for the background/effects.

In any case, I'm liking the results. The finished image has more human character than the digital drawings I've done over the last few years (as you can sell a selection of along the left side of this blog)!

This piece was inspired through work done in class work offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link: www.willowing.org.

They're fun and useful besides.

There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
