Digital Art / Drawings / Portraits

*Note: Not Vector Art. See media description*

A stylized self-portrait. Just recently, I had to quit my job of the last 6 years to make more time for school and building my portfolio. It was the right choice, but still a hard one to make. It's like dropping your safetynet. I kept being reminded of the 1930's Hollywood hopeful taking the train out of the midwest with just a suitcase and her dreams. Well, I've got more than a suitcase, but that was the closest way I could come to expressing the feeling of change. We always talk about the crossroads in our life and I know this is one for me. I just have to do what it takes to make this a good one

Medium: Original sketch drawn over in Photoshop with the pen tool, not vectors since the lines and shapes rasterize. It is similar process, but by devart definitions, anything that rasterizes is not vector art. Details added with brush tool.

Thanks much, and yeah, it seems to have paid off cause here I am a couple years later with a job I love doing what I love. Sometimes, you just have to take those chances.

`GoblinQueeen Jun 26, 2006

~neomeneomine Jun 28, 2006
