25 of 365 is a nose job #GIMP

So Val showed me a great profile pic with only one thing wrong: her nose was overexposed, and couldn’t be seen anymore. She asked me if I could give her a nose, and so I did. The only problem is that I created her nose by superimposing another picture of her at a similar but not an identical angle, and drawing in her nose according to that picture. And so, I had to guess at where her nose would actually be. Honestly, I think her original overexposed shot has some charm to it even if it doesn’t have a nose, and while it was fun to try to give her one, I think she’s better off without it. You see, Val is a super-cutie.

This self-portrait is a result of a great suggestion by my friend Angel who said:

“Pick any photo image you have (can be yourself) and make it look like an oil painting on canvas.”

Thanks for the suggestion, Angel! I used my webcam to capture images of myself from some interesting angles and lighting situations. Then, I used one as a base image in the GIMP to first color-pick then paint into with different brushes using a Wacom tablet. It was a lot of fun to ruin the perfect forms of photography and replace it with the warmth and approximation of painting. I’ve done this a few times before in different ways, but this was a very direct, very freeing method.

It’s incredibly hard to forget certain moments in your life, and I’m very happy for that sometimes.

22 of 365 is Joaquin Phoenix #GIMP

I was really intrigued by Joaquin’s experiment and I hope it works out for him. I like or love most of his work, but I think to make so many people believe you’ve truly gone away is an amazing accomplishment. It seems so obvious now that it was all a rouse, but I don’t think anyone knew for sure when it was going on. Good for him for getting one over on us, and I hope he returns to the screen soon. Anyway, here I brought together his well-known image from “I’m still here” and another photo that was a far more photogenic JP, and used a mask on the photogenic JP to allow his face to appear through his bearded character’s face. I tweaked with adding and removing the mask in transparent strokes until I had what I wanted.

What is 365 Sketches about?
What is 365 Sketches about?

 

Many friends see my posts in their daily Facebook stream and wonder what it’s all about. One person pulled me aside and asked me to explain it. I gave a much more detailed explanation in my conversation, but it boiled down to this.

This is my friend Shannon, who asked me to sketch her and her dog on one of their cross campus tours. I hope she likes it!
