Filter Portrait Progress Pt. II

Prof said the other version was too much like a background and that I should put more of me in there... not sure if she knows that every part of that image is just a filter on one image... but I added more recognizable me plus a cartooned version. I like the other one better, but I definitely like the cartoon version of me in there. Much more personalized, thus much more like a portrait.

Ughhhh I am so mad that I accidentally overwrote my original file and saved it as 72 dpi instead of 300. I actually really liked this one. 8*****[ And I am too lazy to redo it. FFFFFF

Filter and Sketch Portraits

Filter portrait. It's just a bunch of filters on duplicates of a single photo. I like how it came out, but I know I really have a problem with over-cluttered images.

The swirls in the front remind me of an octopus. And the wave filter is one of my favorites now.

Sketched portrait. I'm not really sure what the point of this assignment was, but it was probably to just get more into using a tablet and not strictly using lines [a cross hatching exercise, I suppose]. I started doing a sort of reverse cross-hatching in which I would cross-hatch with black, then with white. It looks like a comic book drawing to me, so I am totally okay with that.
