Jennifer Lopez Portrait

Been practicing a new illustration style. J-lo was the result.

And no it's not a filter, Look at it in full and you'll see what I did..

How i made it.

I start off by tracing out the general facial features and body outlines, in this case from a low res image, since I create most of my images hi-res for print, I use paths and up the res to 300dpi, then i add the colors overtop placing big blobs of color, I try to limit the color pallet to 4 to 6 colors to start with, ranging from dark to white, then pretty much go crazy with the old smudge tool in photoshop, I have my wacom tablet on pressure sensitive as well..
