Our lovely receptionist (Sarah) at work sent out an email saying that she was joining in on an art show called “My Face in Your Space”. The idea is that artists in the show draw each other. Sarah wanted to know if anyone there wanted to join in the fun.
So, I said, “Only if you make a funny face”. She did and I illustrated it.
It’s done with Ballpoint Pen (my new favorite) and then scanned in and colored in Photoshop.
In Photoshop I used a spatter brush set at about 20% opacity and then start painting.
I tried not to blend too much, I like the rough look. Keeps the life in the illustration.
If you’d like to see a print of this live and in person, along with other portraits (at least one of me) then go to the Nexus in Philadelphia starting September 10th.
