Digitally-moved Facial Elements

The top image is a blind contour drawing done earlier this year. Yes, the facial elements are totally askew and as a result the -- image is quite distorted.

Tonight, I worked in Photoshop Elements to move the facial elements to their proper locations. Had that been done originally, this is what the drawing could have looked like.

For comparison, this is the source photo.

In the original drawing, I think I lost my bearings in terms of where I thought I was. This can easily happen when the pen is lifted off the paper - even for a moment - and ends up being lowered into a totally different place. Doing that kind of thing can have a very obvious effect, as you see above.

If you look closely at the first drawing, it is curious how the eye and mind still manage to convey the information/form even if it results in distortion. That is pretty amazing!

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'...
