Creative Portraits: College Guy (MIT)

[DannyRaphael]

Clean cut MIT student, not too hunky, has a part-time job. You'd be OK if your collage-age daughter was dating him, wouldn't you?

MIT = Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a prestigious U.S. university.

For better results, don't forget to get rid of that ugly flash shadow.

I used Painter oil brushes after I did some cosmetic editing on him.

Cathy i just used clone and chalk in painter 9, i love your effect, i have not really attempted any other kind of painting in painter9 using a mouse it does not get the correct look on oils i feel, me personally that is.

[palms]

Handsome lad, and clever ! ! ! ! !

Legacy: I have not tried the chalk. I like the look of it and I am going to give it a try. Thanks.

Not easy to manipulate these intellectuals. Anyway here's a go.

[CJ Swartz]

Looks like the kind of guy that Norman Rockwell would have liked to paint, or let his daughter date.

The impressionist plug-in is available at Trimoon.com under downloads. The main style used was drjoil24. Thanks for your comment.

[Steve Conway]

M.I.T. eh?

Don't know as how I'd go having too many people over to the house for intellectual discussions.

Steve

[Nanls]

Bummer Alan, guess the filters don't work on Mac!

[PhotoFun]

For style #djroil24 (crafted by yours truly), see post 4 in this thread:

By itself it won't yield Alan's results, but it will provide a basis for getting started.

[Kraellin]

cute steve. let's hope he's majoring in engineering

[DannyRaphael]

This was done using by combining effects rendered by Photoshop Dry Brush, the Impressionist plugin (#djroil24) and applying some strokes via Acrylic > Captured Bristle, Blender > Grainy Blender, Cloner > Soft Cloner and Impasto > Smeary Bristle brushes in Painter IX.

Is this similar to your technique on "Autumn Girl"? I really like it, whether it's the same or not.

I think this guy's cute, so your son must be cute also!

[lkroll]

Been playing around with illustrations a lot the last few days. Not a Norman, but I hope you all like it anyway.

[Peter S]

Tried load of stuff with this one nothing looked any good, so tried the torn edges filter and messed with liquify.

[lkroll]

Funny indeed Peter. You pulled off his caricature for sure.

Peter,

After your winning sketch it's very hard to keep the proportions the same.
There's always a temptation to make the smile just a bit bigger.
