Facial Deconstruction

posted 3 months ago by heythequickness

Facial Deconstruction image

Let me explain how I went about making this;

I sketched this out in my sketchbook, then went over it with pens of different sizes. Then I made a watercolor wash with some india ink and water on bristol for the background. I then scanned both of the images and clean them up in photoshop. I took the illustration into Cocoapotrace to vectorize it and clean it up even further, and then painted it all in Painter X. Afterwards, I took it into photoshop and threw the wash behind it to give the design some depth, and tweaked it a little with other water color brushes.

Hope you guys enjoy!

    dude this is rad and I like the texture in the background. Brings it altogether. The tear is a bit weird cos it´s so long. Maybe a boogy like that wouls be ok but as a tear I think its too long. Sick idea and concept tho.

    This is awesome! great drawing and I like the white bits in the background a lot. The tear is a nice touch too!

    But "God gave you a fucked up face for a reason" may be the most retarded statement I’ve ever read!

    Hahaha, thanks man. Yeah it’s stupid, that whole block of text is a joke, not meant to be taken seriously at all.

    Definitely. I was meaning to point fun at the "Hollywood" type plastic surgury, you know... Dr. 90210 stuff. I’m sorry if I offended anyone.

    I agree with gaunty, use the nose instead of the eye and make him eat his own boogers! that would be super! great job!
