Week+2+Line+Drawing+-+Photo

For my line drawing self portrait I had a picture lying around of me when I was 3 years old or something like that. I decided to use this because I don't have a camera.

I started by uploading the photo as a layer into Photoshop, then tracing what I thought were the important outlines. It ended up looking like this: This was too busy I think, as well as the same thickness of all the lines making it boring to look at. I used my Wacom tablet with the line thickness attached to pressure to clean it up. This looks better, but the eyes and nose are still off. I decided redo them, and freehand them a little morerather than copy the photo as best as I could. I also added some blue gaussian blur for colour.

Alright now my childhood self kind of looks like a zombie. At least, more sinister.
