Matt Parkman Portrait
Saturday, November 8th, 2008Here’s another portrait. It’s Matt Parkman form the TV show Heroes. It took me about 6 hours total over about a week. I started saving some progress pictures, but they were so far from how it finally turned out that I didn’t bother. I’ll post the reference photo later.
Painted in Photoshop with some standard brushes.

Kevin Spacey portrait
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008As the title suggests, I painted a picture of Kevin Spacey. I tried to capture the most important lines from reference photo, then added a couple skintones.
