My Fav Pic of Son1

This is my favorite picture of Son1.
Taken when he was in high school.
I spent an entire day making this!
Breaking it down into shapes I saw and using just three values.
I did it on Tablet.
I scanned the original snapshot and enlarged it so I could see the shapes and not be distracted by knowing it was Son1.
It was an interesting lesson in looking, really looking and seeing the shapes and shadows.

When I was finished I was quite please with myself.
Then I found out……. in Photoshop you can do the same thing with just a single click of the mouse!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well, it’s still my fav pic of Son1!

  2. What a lovely son you have, great picture. Well done for keeping going and doing these tones yourself, you would have learnt so much more than just one click in Photoshop......I think, lol ;)
