I took a stab at doing someone famous. I'm not sure how I did but I figure If she is recognizable I got some measure of success. so can you tell who it is?
I'll take a stab Francis, she looks like Lucille Ball? Excellent drawing even if I'm wrong.

Thanks Gare and Gray, getting those tones is quite difficult for me and I keep trying out various ways to get a 'cutout' effect on the photo so I can use it to do the vector portrait.
Gare, do you have any tutorials to do the eyes well?
Gamerprinter, that's awesome, just photorealistic!
Frances - very nicely done and easily recognizable!
I do not have a specific tutorial, however, photorealistic eyes you just want to fall nito follow a certain foruula, if you will, not unlike creating glass, except of course there is no transparency. There are liquid-like reflections—let me see if I can do this in Xara...else-wise I'll physically draw it and scan it, okay?
Give me a while, okay?
My Best,
Gary
Gameprinter, that's very photo like. Lots of detail.
Frances, definitely Lucille. That looks just great.
Excellent work you guys. I love Patrick Nagels style.
I have two different approaches, one like Patrick Nagel's and one more like a pencil drawing, but both obey certain conventions: the pupil is shaded on the top, and mostly eclipses the pupil. There is a lighter arc on the top of the eyeball to suggest roundness. There is a highlight mostly on the pupil, extending into the iris.
This thing is easier to share as a Xara file than to try to explain in words. Words for once fail me:

My work is crude, admittedly, because I have no time today, if there is to be an august Xara Xone! But the principles are here, I think.
My Best,
Gary
