Olivia Wilde (Tron)

This images was done for fun, to try and learn how to make a realistic looking portrait. I chose Olivia Wilde in the modern version of Tron.




I made a kind of making of, starting from the photo until you get to the image you see above, mainly to remind myself how I did it. Below I attach also some intermediate steps.





And bellow you have the photo comparison. I know that comparing the photo with the image I made you can see many differences. My goal was to simply learn the process and also to get use to using the Color mode layer, which is difficult to get use to initially. And as I said, if I were to spend another so many hours on this image, I am sure I would get closer to reality, but for a start, I think it went well. I am moving on .......

Digital Sketch: Mayan

Something from the past few days.

I have made myself around 50 watercolor shapes with real watercolors, scanned them and I am now trying them. I want to make human faces and bodies using only this set of marks. This one here has not been fully done this way, but it was a first test. More will come ......


Some progress images. I started in black and white to end up applying the colour and all the watercolour marks and shapes at the end:
