Daily Create–Face Trace

Posted by

So, here’s where my lack of knowledge about image editing and annotating programs is revealed.  Today’s Daily Create was to do a face trace of an existing photograph, then remove the photo, leaving the tracing behind.

I’ve got Photoshop, but I don’t know how to use it well.  So, here are my two versions, which aren’t really full traces (like this one by Tim Owens, for example).  I’m going to claim that the fact that mine look different is an artistic choice, not an indication of my technical limitations…

 

The detail around the mouth and eyes for the one on the right is particularly indicative of my drawing ability, though I think it is vaguely reminiscent of 19th-Century death masks (I’m clearly reaching).
