This illustration definitely had its frustrations but here it is, complete at last. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but decent. The series on my one-year-old children is now complete. In a few days I will have a 16x20 inch print that I will mount in a glass covered frame. I look forward to seeing all four illustrations side-by-side.
The eyes were a huge issue
For the last few weeks I have been frustrated in how the face was turning out. Just did not look right. Finally came to the conclusion that the eyes were too small and too close together. The thought crossed my mind to start the whole thing over. Instead I did some resizing and reintegrating of the eyes. Below is the the final result (Right) compared to an older version (Left). Not perfect, but immensely better looking than before.
Now I need to decide on my next big personal project. I have been meaning to do something with the original photos of my wife and I on our wedding. Perhaps that can be next years anniversary present.
Krita is a great program
Heres another call-out to the program known as Krita. Working in this program his a pleasure. Look forward to more creative work being done with this superb tool.
