Description

ok, this is something entirely different I've been playing with... I've been inspired by Von Glitschka to go back to Illustrator and have some fun with it. He's got some great tutorials on this style, and he's a master at it!The difficulty is separating the photo image into 3 basic values. You really have to hand draw this, because Illustrator's Live Trace just doesn't cut it! I colorized the image (was B&W) as well.

created in Adobe Illustrator CS3, stylized portrait of John Paul Jones, about 10 hours
full view is better, the thumb sucks (seems to be a vector thing)
ref photo: here
permission is given to Club :iconled-zep-love: to display in their collection

Let me know what you think, vector people, I'm really lame at this but I'd like to improve! Thanks for your comments and suggestions, as always!
