Created in Draw X5. All vectors - no bitmaps. Mix of blends, artistic media brushes and mesh fils. Hope you like.
Cegan, honest - this is my first go at this kind of image. I've used Corel since v3 (i think the path for me was 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, x3, x5) but of late, certainly since x3 I haven't had a chance to get back to having 'creative fun' with it - just doing something for me. It's normally client work like logos, prouct illustration, graphics, web images etc.. Glad you like.
First attempt? Indeed!...What may we expect in the future!...Nice!...
Thanks - i've seen lots of faces and portraits done in Corel so thought I'd have a go - first attempt.
The shading is very well done. Good job!
