1- JIMMY - This is me and this is also the first one I've ever done. The background was added much later and here I went crazy with the color values. I was aiming for three tones but I lost control and so there's more. FAILURE!
2- KEN - I did this using one color with about five values that make up the whole face. I'm proud this came out to have the model's likeness intact. This one holds my first attempt at shirt wrinkles.
3- TONY N. - I get a little daring with color usage here. 2 colors, 3 values for skin. SUCCESS! Actually, this was one of the easier pictures to do and I thought the composition was fun.
4- MEGAN - Back to monocromatic colors with this one. First to have some outlines to fill up some voidness. This was the first one I had a nagging voice in my head saying "it doesn't look good." And so, hearing that, I decided to make it up by doing this:
5- MEGAN 2 - Much better result here with her resemblance showing. The original picture was formal, so I thought I'd add fancy patterns and something flying by.
6- LISA - I had trouble at first with getting her likeness and I attempted this a coupla.times. I thought maybe it was because I knew her too well. I went a little over board what with all the props and pre-Independence Day spirit.
7-TONY D. - Here's an example of a mistake that worked. The coloring wasn't all that great, so I decided to leave only the line work behind. Look's simple, but this one depends a lot on line quality.
8-CATHY - Another one that seems to be simple, but ONLY three colors were used to achieve the same goal as all these portraits: getting the likeness of the person. Tough feat it was.
9-HOVIK - Requested colors from the model, which is no big deal since I suck with colors anyway. I made the shirt logo myself with some special skewing commands from PHOTOSHOP.
10-JOSIAH - I used skin-like tones as a first for this one, and also thought of something out-of-this-world: a BORDER!!! OH man was that a discovery of a life time. I like the original picture to start off with, so this came out nice.
