    Sorry to hog the thread thus far - don't know where this burst of energy came from but I'm not complaining Yes I know I could have done this with bitmap trace in 10 seconds instead of 'by hand' in 5 hours but it's much more fun this way ...

    Hog away, John! I was wondering what your method of doing these was, they look almost sketched and then scanned, or drawn using a pen & tablet - they look very "relaxed" for want of a better word. Keep 'em coming, I say.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    All XXP: 99% shape editor tool, rough shapes and lines [some of the shapes are actually lines] and as few as possible. With the image as model on one side of the screen I draw basic shapes and minimal lines to delineate, say, the nose then move focus to another area. It's just bit-by-bit and looks horrible until other areas are added - see below: I'm quite pleased with Dietrich's mouth and nose but look in close-up! Bang goes the mystique I can't draw, I'm trying to get an impression of the component parts in relation to others rather than reproducing the image. I'm learning basics as I go, along with how to use the tools.

    It's labour intensive but very satisfying when it works. I like your comment about them looking 'relaxed' because that's one of the things I was aiming for. Thanks for the encouragement Bob
