Portrait 4x #2

Crazy City

So, in this project, we were told to make a piece which expresses who we are, without using a picture of ourselves. I decided to use a city background because I often draw or paint city-scapes in my other artwork. The other objects in the city are things that I like or explain me. I decided to mainly use photos of people, but i also included some images. I overlapped the images using an opacity/erase technique so they would appear behind some buildings. I mostly changed the appearence of the different images by changing the layer blend. i also wanted some of my own art in the picture, so I added in the fire using the paint tools, and I added in a character I previously designed as graffiti on one of the buildings. Overall, I think you can get a good idea of what I like from this piece. Stay Classy.

On Vacation...

I started with the background picture from my summer vacation in Greece. I added the skateboarder, birds, flags, and beverage in the skateboard's hand. Each on their own layer, I moved them around to create the final image.
