Description
So, 40 blades, about 90 lines and hours and hours later, my fingers are numb, my brain is in meltdown and I smell like paint. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I did another halftone.The paint ain't even dry yet, but I think I'm satisfied with the result. A little disappointed in the thinnest lines in the face, but other than that it looks pretty good.
Gonna go get some more canvases in a second to make a few more, see if I can improve it a little. It's 60x80 cm, my favourite size. Believe me when I say I will _never_ do another line-halftone again. It's no fun, it hurts like hell and it's a bitch to paint. Squares are the future (and square-halftones look way more awesome too).
The picture I used was 'Eye stock' by Create-Stock: [link]
Hope you like it.

Then your picture is too dark. If its too dark, try making it a negative. I.e., create a negative, replace the black lines by white lines and vice versa for the white lines. Don't know if its a common technique.. I found out and found it rather useful.
Light pictures are easiest to make halftones from, but I prefer dark pictures.

It has been done before, multiple times. As a matter of fact, this one was supposed to be a two color halftone. But I was totally done with it after the black layer so I left it like this.

Dit is zo'n ding waar je echt afstand van moet nemen om hem goed te kunnen bekijken, full view komt zo anders over dan de preview...

Klopt, klopt. Was bij deze kort na afronding niet echt tevreden, eigenlijk net als bij eerdere halftones in dat stadium. Kwam doordat ik er al die tijd heel dicht op heb gezeten en dan komt het niet tot zijn recht.
Even offtopic: eentweetien, dat zit toch vlakbij Arnhem CS?

That's just the one 90 degrees angle halftone right? And what did you cut this on to I tried to do it on paper and it sorta stretched and wont sit right =/

I used a giant sheet of plastic, 100cmx80cm on size, or something like that. Got loads of that stuff. Works great, but when you've got a line-halftone like this one, it won't hold long.
Mine was ruined after the first spray, also due to a minor fuckup by me. But oh well, the first attempt was decent enough, as depicted above.
Long story short: never use paper, only to wipe your ass.

Words can't describe the amount of shit I went through to get this finished. I started this, thinking 'oh boy, I bet this is so much easier than square-halftones'. After an hour I realized I was SO wrong. I'll NEVER do such a halftone again. Never.
That said; thanks for the (buttload of) favs!

Thanks! When you look at the original picture, you'll see that the nose is barely visible there either.
