Description

An image I finished recently, using a downloaded image from the web as a reference. Then painted it in Photoshop. There are numerous images on the web but they are low res of course, so while they're ok for basic shape, there is still a lot of opportunity to invent and add detail of your own to create more character. I used my own hand for reference to complete the pose, painting additional wrinkles etc to match. Painted a more messed hair style than before and added the cigarette. Lets be honest, Keith has a face that only a mother and someone wanting to practice working with textures and their custom brushes, could love. I plan to use him in a future fantasy image, as a wizard or......pirate? Hmmm! I wonder if Johhny Depp would be interested in the idea :-)

What a fabulous portrait! Quite impressive! Actually, it's probably the people showing most character in their face that make the most interesting subjects and not the pin-ups...

Wow. Amazing work. You did a superb job of painting over the photo. Looks fabulous. This should hang in a gallery. Maybe you should send a copy of this to Keith Richards. I am absolutely sure he would love it. I am very impressed and wish I could paint as well as this. Marvelous work !!!!
