The likeness needs to be on point, but it's going to drift a little and need fixing as I cut the shapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb295ce4b0810171a57a9e/1391532131173-EYDW3VO5MF7NERRF0X87/%3Fuestlove+start.jpg News - The Question I block in most of the major shapers deciding what textures I want as I go along. Some take a couple of tries before I find the one I'm happy with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb295ce4b0810171a57a9e/1391532223127-82D00S6QNYBWBIDY9NVO/%3Fuestlove.jpg News - The Question More detail gets added in as the shape of the face is filled out. It's close, but something feels a little off in the likness, and will need a little tweaking as expected. One of the texture swatches I use can be seen floating in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb295ce4b0810171a57a9e/1391532409233-KZBRRY3M60GOXYSMO8AL/%3Fuestlove_flats.jpg News - The Question A few more details added. I wanted to make it a bit more of a current quest love image, so I threw on the glasses he tends to sport, and a little reference to the "lyin ass bitch" Michelle Bachman incident. The background is fun, but it's way to busy, and its distracting from the portrait. I do like the question mark thing though... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb295ce4b0810171a57a9e/1391532531506-6YDYW9G3ELZQ30ATCGQY/%3Fuestlove+Mark.jpg News - The Question So simplify simply simply. I get to keep the question mark, but it becomes a subtler, more playful element, and the portrait is front and centre, where it should be. a couple more tweaks are made to the likeness, and textures are filled out in few spots. http://www.jamessharp.ca/illustration daily 1.0 2024-01-09
