Illustration Friday-Help

Click images for larger views.

This is my entry for Illustration Friday's "Help" topic. My inspiration was Nicole Richie's recent turn of events, which is a clear cry for HELP. Portrait-type illustration is NOT my specialty, as I have done very little of it. So this was welcome practice. Your feedback is always appreciated!!! Compliments are nice, but anything truly constructive will make me a better illustrator, which is my goal! This was created FRESH for the IF challenge.

The first image is basically my Freehand drawing, but colored in Photoshop.

The second two are variations using Photoshop filters.

And the last one is the inspiration photo from The Smoking Gun web site.

Been totally swamped the last few weeks, so I'm behind on things!

Illustration Friday-Might

This is my entry for Illustration Friday's "might". He might make it, he might not. Or, it takes a lot of might to do that? An idea I've been thinking about for a while. Drew the shapes in Freehand, and colored and textured in Photoshop. I might try another variation, but it's gonna be a busy week. So this is the best I can do for now!

I'd love your feedback.

Kind regards for the many comments I've received on previous entries.
