I've been busy staying alive which did not leave me a lot of time to spend drawing on my computer. But after thinking hard whose portrait to draw in
Affinity Designer, I decided upon one of my all time favorites:
Marilyn Monroe. When starting to draw, I was not sure if I would detail it into the extreme, like drawing pores and single strands of hair for instance, which would have required some imagination since the reference photo isn't showing any of these details. While progressing I began to lean more towards creating a visual impression rather than creating a photo realistic image. The impression being a soft, dreamy image. The original dimensions of this portrait are height x width = 165 x 126 cm, but since it is drawn in vectors only it can be re-scaled to any desired size without losing quality.
Oldest stage at the bottom, newer stages above that in chronological order. Click on one of the images and Blogger will take you to Google's Lightbox that will allow you to scroll (with the mouse scroll wheel) through the images and make quick compares between the various stages. This will work on a PC or Mac only; tablets and smartphones unfortunately do not offer this option. Enjoy and stay tuned to observe the future progress.
