Description
Subject = Lucille Ball

Based off a reference photo that was taken in 1942 (link to reference photo is farther below)

Media for this drawing = Adobe Photoshop CS4,

Adobe Illustrator CS4 (only for the fringed shawl thing she's wearing; everything else was made in Photoshop)

Tools / Features used in Adobe Photoshop:

pen tool; gaussian blur; motion blur; paths palette/paths; smudge tool; special effect filters > Eye Candy 4000 > Marble

Paint brushes used:

Most of the brushes I used are the standard ones which ship with Photoshop.

I used Krist's Particle brushes (hosted on Deviant Art) for some of the texture in the background.

I used adonihs's pore brush (hosted on Deviant Art) , on the chin area and on the left side of the face (for the "blush" type color), but it doesn't show up well in the final image.
