Description
I don't like this as much as the Pacino or the Depp portrait..mainly because of the hair!
Also trying to make it realistic enough BUT still look like a drawing.
Also, my ref photo has very little midtones..
so I invented some.
Feel free t ocomment.
PS: For those who had added this to their favs...
kindly update it since I've made some minor retouches.
Thank You.

Ignore the earlier comments that this piece is too dark... it's perfect! It really annoys me when people leave comments like that, if they don't like it, why bother commenting!?
Anyways, rant over! I think it's excellent!

Looks cool and I love the eyebrows! Allthough the eyes look a tad weird. The right one is much bigger and draw-like than the other.

Hmmm..very keen observation...
I have to check with the reference photo.
Thanks!

Thanks Nuphar!
I'm afraid you can't find anyone like him on the street....
that's a ref of him some years back when he's still very young!

told ya this would be a challenge ^_^
i love it its not as dark as the other ones... it looks like a 90% finished charcoal drawing.. (kulang sa smooth?)

It is a challenge indeed..only I didn't draw it perfectly!
I wanted it to look like a photo from a distance..
and a drawing up close...
This one looks like a drawing from any distance!

nice work.
as far as the realism, i'm an expert by any means, but i feel like it's missing a few levels of tone. have you tried playing with the contrast curve? you might find that some areas look better in lower contrast than others. a little sharpening could also help. my two cents.

Thanks Eugene!
Thanks for your advice. I'm still a neophyte when it comes to PS, and I seldom use Curves. But I'll try that..after all..am still in a learning process.

i think the contrast is TOO strong on this one

Too strong? I don't hear you say this with my other "dark" portraits?
Anyway, am not sure..the original file isn't this dark.
