Description
A boy in my art class named Tony Bui called me a free spirit one day when he was either drunk and/or half asleep. He described to me sleepily exactly what he believed a free spirit to be, and to tell you the truth, it really stuck with me. I won't insult his words by trying to repeat them the best way I can, but in my mind, a free spirit is a determined girl (or guy) who enjoys breaking through normalities and conventionalism. In the photo (taken and modeled by ~ivorylily ), she just looked like a free spirit, or like one should look.No, I didn't change the photo much at all, it was beautiful as is, but I really hope you enjoy this Ivory, and I really hope the rest of you enjoy it also.

Beautiful work. It does look as if you've spent hours on it detailing the fine strands of hair, the shades of skin, those beautiful eyes.

the dots coming off the lip are beautifully suttle, i love the focus of colours in her face and the focus of objects in her hair, its an excellent user of contrast, the detail around the eye is so soft and pastel like, beautiful piece

I'm glad you like it hun, the dots are actually parts of the hair but that's a way I haven't really thought about it before. And it doesn't look half bad. Thank you again :\

*lemontea has a good, simple vectoring tutorial for Photoshop but it can also be applied to Illustrator if that's what you use. He shows a couple different techniques, if you just search around a little you can find some other pretty good ones.

Well I learned from the amazing *lemontea who has a great (and simple) tutorial explaining vectoring basics for Photoshop. He has an example of my work in there along with :devvoodooprophet: and some of his own stuff to explain the many different styles. It's a great way to start, and I can answer any questions if you have them. I really love getting new people into vector art, it's fun to see all of the different styles :b -end speech-

Freelance? As in comission work? Or..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. I would like to supply a photo that you could vector like "free spirit." The photo would be of one or all three of my nieces (ages 4,6 & 8). This would be a gift for my sister. What would you charge to do this? Thanks! Scott

Depending on how intricate it is probably anywhere from 10-30 dollars. For three people it'd most likely be in the higher regions.
