Description

New technique test. I found a Shania Twain's photo from a magazine. I gridded the photo and then made onscreen black and white map from it -- kind of value map. Then I painted over it and finished with Paint Shop Pro Smudge. You could say this is masochist's way to do a photo manipulation -- only I lost most of the likeness... :) I don't think this is good technique, but I the grid method has possibilities...

I kind of like the result! It definitely doesn't look like a photo manip! More like a wacom tablet drawing!

Good excercise Markku! Maybe a little to smeary, but as Titta says, no manipulation but painting feeling.

Very nice painting, Markku! Next time, try colorizing the photo to blues while in value sketch mode. It will help show the distinctions of the tones better than a grayscale or b/w. But y'know...I like the hair. grin

Very artistic look. I like it, because it looks like a impressionist painting. Very well done!!!

I think it is wonderful.I love the color of her lips and the effects on the hair. I think it is great that you explore the possibilities of other methods and the more you fool with them , the more you cam apply to your work :D Excellent!
