Creative Portraits: Hunk with an Attitude

Thought some of you would enjoy working on this one. He kind of reminds me of "me" -- about 35 years ago. (In my dreams, of course. )

Have fun...

Re: Creative Portraits: Hunk with an Attitude

Trying for a 'brushy' look, not my preferred style, I usually go for a smoother more blended finish but that wouldn't have suited this picture IMO

I'm still that handsome Danny...

...NOT. LOL

Did have some hair in a past life though. Anyway, I combined MW's Sketch action with Impressionist (James Brown pencil preset) for this one.

Re: Creative Portraits: Hunk with an Attitude

Based mostly on the PencilPixels One Click Stylized Poster Art action plus a dose of Photoshop lighting effects.

Re: Creative Portraits: Hunk with an Attitude

Of course, I was younger when this picture was taken.

GOLDCOIN: I really like the exaggerated version.

Re: Creative Portraits: Hunk with an Attitude

I couldn't resist the hunk.
I used smart blur to soften and make more like a watercolor, then I used Lucis Art Whyeth and Sculpture to enhance. I used the smudge tool with a watercolor brush to smooth out some areas. I used hue/sat to bring up color, and a layer of paint dabs set to soft light for visual texture. I finished up with some paper texture.
