Turning Portraits into Digital Sketches, Oils, Watercolors - - Creative Portraits: Same girl pencil sketch

makeovermagic · #1 08-14-2006, 07:29 PM

okay, i really love this photo of my friend's daughter so much that i wanted to take a stab at a pencil sketch -- it's kind of a pencil/smudge look, i guess -- there's currently another thread going on that inspired me -- this is my first attempt at something like this -- am i heading in the right direction? i know, her ear needs work - lol.

feel free to have a go at her -- i'd love to see what others could do with her.

Not a sketch but couldn't resist such a lovely face.

christine, i like the sketch and really love the painting -- i am going to attempt a painting one of these days -- can i ask what you used to get the perfect canvas texture background -- i have a couple of filters that just don't look that great.

The canvas is Artist Canvas - one of the Painter paper textures.

I realize this isn't a pencil sketch so forgive me for going in a different direction.

cobra1972 nice pencil sketch.

lQQker also nice interpretation -- gave her a sinister, dark look; i like it.

Beautiful girl. I certainly hope she is modeling.

Here are two interpretations. One color and one greyscale. I prefer the color one, but you asked for a sketch. So here are both.

Ok...I know this isn't a sketch either.

steve, a pencil sketch is not crucial, i just wanted to see other interpretations of her - and i really like all three of yours, particularly the last one. i'm actually working on a painting version that i will post as soon as it's finished.

Steve Conway · #12 08-17-2006, 03:10 PM

You're very kind ...and I thank you.

An image like this is most pleasant to work with.

Do you know if she has done modeling?

That is such a great sketch. I really like your technique, Christine!

steve, unfortunately, she's not a model yet, but i agree, she should be. she's only 12, so she's got time.

here's my paint/smudge attempt; it's my first time trying this. i'm fairly happy with the result, although i definitely need practice.

Sharp Control, Impressionist with CherylH's preset, and some cloning.
