Tried my hand at a different approach
Hi,
I just love the computer almost and I say ALMOST as much as I do real paint. Sometimes I get lost on here and spend literally hours surfing and learning new techniques.
I have always wanted to create portraits with illustrator..I used to see them done in paintshop but I loved the crispness and hand drawn shapes you can do in vector, not to mention the depth you can get with gradients....I haven't gotten there yet...so I downloaded a similar program and played around with it. I watched a few tutorials on youtube (an invaluable source for so many things) and taught myself how. Here are my first attempts.

I'm 54 years young and live, love and breathe art every day of my life. I love creating art that makes people happy and keeps their spirits high.

Being the first time, very good! I try the illustrator and it was torture!
These are fabulous! I have yet to try this medium, because unlike you, I haven't taken the time to study the different programs - but your work is very inspiring - do you hire yourself out as a tutor?! :)
