  3. Julian Wolkenstein and Echoism There is a myth, some say a science, suggesting people who have more symmetrical faces are considered more “ attractive “. If you are made symmetrical, do you consider yourself more beautiful, less so, or is it just weird? Or is it you at all? Do you have a best side? What is to be said of left and right brain dominance? This is a series of photographic portraits completed in 2010. The subjects were specifically cast for their individual facial features. They were photographed front to camera and in the same position. They were asked not to express emotions or character. This initial study focusing on facial symmetry, is part of a larger piece revolving around facial features, facial proportions and facial symmetry. The term Echoism relates to fascial symmetry in its physiognomical sense.

  16. Celebrity Portait • #2 nameCelebrity.ai Choose a celebrity. Create a finished portrait that reflects your style and use both filled shapes and detailed lines for texture and variety

  17. Steps • 1. Select a photo of a celebrity – close up, high resolution • 2. NameInitialcelebrity.ai. 8.5x11 • 3. Lock the layer that your photo is on, creating a new layer to work on. • 4. Using the pen tool, carefully trace your photo. Build the face out of completed shapes, adding details in as individual lines on a top layer • THIS IS A DEMONSTRATION OF PEN TOOL CONTROL • Fill in your shapes with colors and gradients to it looks similar to the original photo. Add details using different brushes • Hide the original photo layer. I need it for grading, but I don’t want it visible

  18. Tips • Draw on a separate layer than your photo • Draw with no fill and a bright, visible stroke color • Think about whole shapes, layered on top of each other • Variety creates interest – use different opacities and different stroke weights • Use the eyedropper tool to pick appropriate colors • Zoom in and focus on an interesting part of your photo. Showing everything can be boring • Think about texture – glossy? Matte? Rough? Scratches? Metalic?
