My third Portrait Swap. This one was between me and Steve. He is the one who brought you my idea for Illustration Friday Night.
Remember! When participating in a portrait swap via the internet there are a few things you should keep in mind when taking your reference photo.
- Use strong directional lighting. It helps me see the planes of your mug. Natural daylight through a window works best. Get away from your computer screen, the blue glare does not count.
- Get your whole head in the shot. Do not skim the top of your head or your chin.
- Try to take high resolution photos and minimize the blurriness. If this means you have to get back on your meds to get rid of your shakes do it!
- Do not send me nudes. Jesus.

Like your shading.

The nudie pics were tasteful and will one day be worth a lot of (bribe) money.
Hey Jeanette, I will mail you regarding the Illo Friday Night stuff - no need putting my own mail adress here for all spambots to see ;)
