The Portrait of Song Hye Kyo

My latest illustration for the portrait of Korean Actress Song Hye Kyo (in Dec, 2008). I was not a fun of that actress and Korean movies. I didn’t even know who she was when working on this picture later I knew from my friend that she was a Korean drama star.

I saw that picture at Internet image search and it’s so fascinating to me. She was so beautiful, smart and look very calm in appearance.

I used only Adobe Illustrator 10 and mouse (I don’t even have a pen tablet  in this moment .. may be I will have it soon) to sketch on her photo. It is a little bit difficult for it because it’s much more detail for the tones. I used Gaussian Blur almost all for the tones and Wrap Tool for some windy hair effect.

It took almost 7 days at my late evenings after my office. I still owed to do some of my idea for this illustration and much more will come to be more lively on her picture.

Tool: Only on Adobe Illustrator Version 10

Tribute to UGLY KID JOE Band

I liked that kid’s ugly naughty style since I was at nine grade. A friend of mine used to sing his songs in the classroom and he normally smashed Kid Joe’s sketches at the back of his school books. Once time my teacher asked him “Why you loved so much for that naughty casper?” then we laughed because of her usage. We explained her about the character. But she never got a point for that and warned him not to make any sketches in her subject books. Then I more familiar with that character.

When I thought about the sketch I dropped the hidden bottle and put the bomb in his hidden hand. Because I hate drinking and I never even have a drop in my life (believe me?). But I did this one as my loving character and for my friend who introduced this character to me. According to my portfolio diary this was illustrated on 28 November, 2007 on Adobe Illustrator.
