This is the godfather drawn in Adobe Illustrator. I haven't worked in illustrator for awhile, so more time was spent re-learning the program rather than getting anything done. I still have quite a ways to go before I grasp it.
:EDIT: This was drawn in Adobe Illustrator using photo reference. It was for an assignment last year in computer illustration. We were to find a photo and draw it in illustrator using flat shapes as a way to learn the program. I've still got a lot to learn.
The People Have Spoken
Average Score: 6.9 / 10
I thought it looked like Lenin.....no one else saw that? As others have said, the lighting works well. I don't know how close this is to the original photo (the closer it is the lower the score it deserves), but at the very least I'm guessing you haven't made it worse. Its a good, sinister Lenin in my mind (and he was in many ways a sinister man, so it works on a character level).
Maybe a slight Brando resemblance, but not in my mind as strong as Lenin....sorry if this isn't what you were aiming for....hahahaha
If it had a lot more depth.
As it stands, it just looks like a choppy vector.
How come it is in .jpg bitmap format when it should clearly be vector .png format?
Author's Response:
I save everything as a jpg. I've been told that .png is higher quality, so I might switch over to that. Thanks :)
Awesome!
9/10*
But it is still close to a photo being precessed by a standard filter from photoshop.
To me it has the looks of a bitmap trace in flash.
The picture is nice but it could be the original photo is already that good.
For the appearance i give a
5 for originality
-2 for execution
-2 for the used effect
-1 for Again that same old godfather sh**t.
Please continue Cuz i can see that most of your work shows your great talent.
this just not represents that talent
There seems to be nothing so stunning or original about this.It's a great work, but it's been done, maybe over and over.
Nevermind the people saying that this is not art. They probably never heard of Andy Warhol and Pop Art
Cant tell if this is art or some kind of Photoshop effect over a photo.
I dont have a clue about what art is but this is awesome, love the way it was drawn, idk what shong1up is talkin about, looks like marlon brando all the way, good job
but up more boss pics worlds greatest movie and if you dont agree then you will find a horse in your bed
could be Marlon Brando, but could easily pass off as Richard Nixon
"Who said you had to draw something to make it art?"
Great job, I love this.
Its like something the don would have in his house.
It kinda looks like marlyn brando to me..then again....i cant tell if its traced or hand drawn.
i like you just completley traced bitmap'd this or used effects on the pic
you prolly did alot of stuff on this pic besides actually drawing it
like the light work, it looks very realistic
I so cant wait untill you finish a more refine version. so now, a seven later, who knows?
This is definitely just a bitmap trace. But still, looks spiffy
i have this distinct feeling this pic is a bitmap trace in flash lol :3
Author's Response:
It's not. It was drawn in Adobe Illustrator using photoref. Thanks :)
It's a really great, amazing picture.
Just simply amazing!
