Description Used: a photo on here that I manipulated using PS, some cardboard, and acrylic paint.

What I Did:

I decided to take this particular photo and redo it, except instead of doing shit to it on the computer, I'd paint it using acrylic paints. I've made the edging harder instead of the feathery stuff that's going on in the original, and simplified it a little, but other than that, not much has changed. I was just curious to see if I could actually paint a likeness of something that was done with a computer. Turned out not too bad, at least I don't think so anyway... Meh, to each their own.

By the way, you'll notice a glare from where the centre of the flash on my camera hit -- that's not supposed to be there lol... I have yet to truly understand the scanner.

Yeah, I'd have to say the lips are my favourite part of this... It's actually kinda fun to try to imitate something you manipulated on the computer first.

Thank ya! I tried to keep my painting style very flat too... but that stupid freaking glare just makes all that effort disappear!!! I'll be ok.
