Vector Faces

As I mentioned, DeviantArt has realy inspired me to pursue realistic vector faces - not just for Jo, it is somehting I would like to pursue into the futute aswell. I want to put up some of the great vector work i have been collecting, you can see for yourself how inspirational it is:

I tried my own hand quickly at an Adriana Lima picture, using the posterising and tracing technique and you can see how well it turned out. here is the vector and the outline to show all the different shapes used.

For the major illustartor piece however I chose this photo of my sister Kendelle to vectorise.

It has proved much harder as the colours' shapes are not so defined, plus I can't eyedrop the colours. The nose, eyes and mouth look great, I am SO HAPPY with how they turned out and it has really helped me to stay keen on this project because I can see hopeful results for the finished piece. I am starting on the cheek now and having colour diffuculties. This is the vector work i have done so far, and the next picture is the photo of Kendelle with my vector work over the top - you can see the colour problem in the cheek.
