Description freehand, from reference, Photoshop noise added on separate layer to simulate old photo grain

Photoshop CS3, Intuos 4

photo reference: [link]

During most of the drawing process, the face was not framed as it is in the photo; I do this to ensure that I am referencing the proportions of the face rather than the proportions of the image. While this doesn't yield an absolutely accurate result, it helps me improve my skill at drawing the human face.

Pretty good!
I made a quick drawing of the same reference, but not a digital one.

Thanks! Gavin is actually the one who suggested that I draw Tesla. Looking forward to seeing how your self-portrait comes out.

It's funny that you know Gavin; I didn't even know you two were friends until you added me on Facebook. And thanks!
