Hey everyone, I hope you guys are having a great weekend, and holy crap, this whole project took me about 12 hours to complete. "Hmm, why is that raizel? It's only vector art". Well let me tell ya. （；￣︶￣） The preparation for this picture started at modeling the glasses in Blender, which took about a good hour or so. Then I just posed my model in different positions to see which pose looked right. After that, I had to changed some of the colors on the model, so that when I go to move it in Photoshop it's easier to select it with the magic wand tool. From there, hell started, or at least that's what I thought.
I just started out with a plane,
subdivided it 5 times,
and began the modeling process.
I tried to add more by adding in more shapes to the glasses and the piece that hooks around your ear.
In Photoshop, I used that demon tool that still haunts me until this day, the pen tool!!! ooooo spooky. 🎃 But seriously though, if this tool was a human, I would take a nice piece of white paper, and slide it between it's fingers. I had so much damn trouble with this tool I nearly cried a river. (ಥ﹏ಥ) But then I was understanding the way of the pen, and then I was beasting like Neo when he was beating the crap out of the agent Smiths. I proceeded to add in the strokes, colored the lips in, and added in a 1980's type background.
What moved me to make this picture was when I was a little kid at my grandmas. She had this art on her wall that had simple colors, and the women on there were very beautiful. As I grow up I would continue to look at the picture, and there was just something about it that made me feel blissful. So, today I finally researched who the artist was, and it was none other than Patrick Nagel. I find it so cool that I can still remember his art work from all of those years. Hopefully one day, my art and animation can exceed at that level. ▼ω▼
Programs used:

The pen tool is quite interesting. It takes some time getting use to.

In the past I have worked with 2d animation. I mainly work with 3d now.

Great facial sculpting!
Adding to that, I really like the combination of the toon shaders and the freestyle element.

I think I'm going to practice with the pen tool more. It gets the job done, but its hard to use.
