Tools Used: Wacom Intous3 Tablet, Photoshop Pro CS.
Time Taken: 11 hours
Reference: 'Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter'
This was very fun to do, even though it took a while to get it finished But I HATE glasses! It took me forever to do them, and I still didn't get them right -_-; I'm still happy with the way it came out though
How I did it: Started with a really rough sketch, then blocked in the solids, and used a hard brush with medium/low opacity to add the shadows/highlights and just kept going over it to blend the colors together Then I zoomed in like 300% and did the details, like the eyes, nose, and mouth. Most of my time was spent on the eyes though For the hair it was basically the same, but I used almost full opacity, and just kept making the brush smaller and smaller to add detail My goal with this was to see just how close to the real thing I could make it, and I think I did pretty good ...Maybe a bit too good actually, since I've constantly had people saying that it can't be a painting and has to be a manip The only ones that don't bug me about it seem to be my family, because they saw me working on it -_-; Makes it kinda bittersweet.
