Self Portrait

[Jason Ross]

Here's one of three self portraits that I did recently. The other two have same clothes but different view pose etc. I sketched it in Corel Painter and painted it in Photoshop. I find myself using Photoshop more than Painter these days.

lol thank you and unfortunatley I have really really small ears and to further my misfortune...my ears really do look like that.

But maybe i should've made it better than real and put some of my comic book perfect ears on it.:dur:

Good stuff man, but there is something bugging me...As of now, the face seems as minor detail, all attention drawn by clothes/hat. Maybe that was your intention, but you can still add at least one more value to the face itself.
Maybe it's richer in tones but my monitor fails to show the real thing. :(

Well actually your are correct. That's been a problem for me for some time now. Sometimes I feel limited in what I paint to just what the camera sees. I've been struggling around this crutch for some time. I need to loosen up and express myself more.

this is one of those "is this a photograph?" images.

and no, your ears are fine as they are. (cute)
