From photo to painting
- 01The referenceEvery piece begins with a photo or image: a pose, a face, a look worth keeping.
- 02Blocking lightBig masses of light and shadow go down first, clicked and dragged into place.
- 03Mouse strokesThen thousands of short strokes build skin, hair and texture, one movement at a time.
- 04Distortion & noiseLiquify, graffiti, type and glitch layers push the image past the photo into something new.
