This is a redo project from my sophomore illustration class. The reference is from a photo of myself with the masterful makeup skills of Anthony Kosar. The original was done on black paper with a white color pencil.
I wanted to do a joker piece so when I came across the old photos I couldn't help myself. There are some tweaks here and there I want to make but I would say it's 95%. I Might do the smeared red lipstick but it could be too similar to the Heath Ledger version.
Oh, because I was the photo reference people might think I actually look like this and they would be right.

Good eye. for this one I decided to paint on a layer over the original photo. I haven't really altered the hair yet. I just gave myself a pretty bad receding hairline. I think I might upload the original photo when I'm done with this piece for comparison.
Yeah, the way you added the overlays of strokes it kind of looked like you diligently painted the strands of hair, and at the same time it seemed too natural for it to be painted. Really tricked me. I'll love to see the original photos You're really making me want to paint Joker and other villains.

All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy...
Just out of curiosity, but is the hair rendered, or is it the photo? I can't tell...
I'll love to see the original photos
You're really making me want to paint Joker and other villains.
