Title: Is it just me?
Post by: frankorona on May 22, 2013, 05:39:55 pm
My wife began to study a course in corel draw on youtube.
So that I used as rabbit experiment. ;D
And then she asked me to cut the pattern she did.
Well, this is the result.
The compulsory question is Is it just me? :o
I believe that to be his first employer was not so bad, you do YOU ​​think? :-\

Excellent job. Was this done with Corel Draw or was it the Gimp/Inkscape tools?

awesome job!!! Nice cut!  I have tried a couple of face images and they are harder than they look, so my hat is off to you!

That came out great Frank!  Between her pattern designs and your cutting, you are going to be a busy man!!!

I think the pattern and the cutting came out just great.  I notice with some of the patterns I cut out... if I hold the finished piece in my hands, about a foot or two from my eyes...something...it doesn't look right.  But, when I have it on a wall hung up, then stand back...it looks right.  Does that make sense?

Hi Frank:
Good pattern - Great cutting
My personal opinion
I am by far not an expert in this field
Overall, the pattern looks good but I would try and do a little more on the right side of your face where the shadow is on the picture. Try to get more of your cheek in there.
Like I said this is my personal opinion -
I can see another excellent pattern maker in the works here for sure
Thanks for showing us

Frank - your wife did an excellent job on your portrait. There is one thing she might look at. When we look at a portrait, the 1st thing we see are the eyes. An important feature of the eye is the highlight, or "glint". She has a strong glint in your left eye, but none in the right (from your perspective). The right and left eye glints should match in size and position on the eyeball, since they are reflections from some common light source.

While the eye size, shape, and position look excellent in this portrait, I would suggest some reduction in the glint in your left eye, then add a similar glint to the right. You can see the glints in the original photo - they are upper-left in the iris - butt moving them to lower left and crossing out of the iris is fine as long as they are matched.

2 cents worth.
