New Perspective

Posted 4:00 AM by Gerald So

Back in April, dissatisfied with cartoon effect photo filters, I began adapting line drawing techniques to Inkscape to create front-facing avatars. This week I challenged myself to make an avatar in 3/4 portrait view. I primarily used the variation of the Loomis method Darlene Nguyen shows in her Rapid Fire Art YouTube tutorial.

Two cartoon images side by side: On the left, a 3/4 angle self-portrait wearing blue clothes; on the right, the same portrait wearing blue sunglasses.
