Face-off



Face-off
(pencil drawing, copied electronically and digital background added)

Has a history. I needed a devious older face for a work, and I drew one. But I was not sure how I was going to use it, so I copied it several times on several sheets of paper to experiment. This was a left over. I evidently spilled different kinds of liquid onto it several times, got a tape spot, etc. (We are talking about years.) I found it a couple of days ago in an old folder of mine, and fell in love with its surprise: the naturally tattered, shabby, grungy look. So I manipulated a bit more in Photoshop and kind of liked the result.

  1. yes, the result was amazing!
    is very encouraging to continue a job that was forgotten in a drawer or folder, he asks us to be revived!

  2. Thanks, Denise! Yes, it happens to me time to time as I never ever throw out anything :D I am sooooo anal about meticulously preserving every single sketch, piece of paper, computer files, anything...

    Oh well. I missed again a big, thorough spring cleaning as spring is almost over :D
