Chuck Close Assignment

I got bored applying random filters and decided to see how chuck close made some of his other style portraits; i found some good info and decided to do my portrait in a similar process as used here, with his scribble/etching portrait.

after trying out several filters i ended up using the stamp tool to create 45+ layers, each new layer with less and less of the original image so only a little bit of the previous layer is not covered, then went through and colored each layer in a sort of "oil reflection" color scheme. The background used ended up being way too distracting and was replaced with a pure white one. it's not quite what i was originally going for but i like what i ended up with.

Hockney collage #2: i'm an idiot

after the nearly 4 hours of work on the first collage, a portrait, i saved it to the temp drive without backing it up, and i assume it was wiped the next day. will probably invest in a flash drive after that, but it wasn't too terrible, i am happy with the redo although it has a much different feel than the first one. as for collage #3, the landscape photos i took were pretty uninspired to begin with and thanks to the fires anything more than 20 feet away starts to get lost in a smoky haze, really not even worth the time. I had a lot of fun on this project; i've done my share of collages but none like this, definitely will know what to do differently if i make any more in the future.

Hockney Collage #1 Complete

decided to just stay home and work on my 2nd collage, ended up spending 5-6 hours straight on this little number. it's a 360 view of the inside of the Clayton jail. i'm pretty happy with how it turned out, i'm hoping i can either print it as 2 8x10s or find somewhere that can do an 8x20
