Day 243. I took my own photo in an app called Face Goo, which lets you stretch and distort an image as though it was on a sheet if rubber. Once distorted I opened the image in Photoshop Mix, an Adobe app that easily extracts an image from the background and lets you put a different background in its place. The background art was drawn in Repix. Then the whole lot was exported into Photoshop Touch and had a series of filters and effects applied to it, and this is what I ended up with.
Day 242. This drawing was made using the word "creativity" and drawn using the TypeDrawing app. Like many of my sketches I just started making lines on the page and allowed them to dictate where things went. Maybe this dreadlocked face subconsciously came from watching Cool Runnings last night? Who knows...
What makes a face beautiful? I read a study a while ago that concluded that it is all about the relationships between our facial features. Symmetry, ratios, balance, etc. For today's create I used FlashFace Woman to create a generic female face. I then made nine versions of this face, adjusting the positioning and distances between the various facial features. It's amazing how moving the nose, eyes, brows, mouth, hair even just a small amount can make such a huge difference to the overall look of the face. Some strike me as quite pretty, and some less so. I still don't quite know how beauty is "defined" but I know it when I see it. How about you?
