Creative Portraits: College Guy (MIT)

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.

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.

Nice work Palms.

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

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