Vector 2 of 3 from my offline time :eager:

I've been wanting to try out something with dreadlocks for a while and although this is just a silohette (sp?) I kinda dig it. Would like to try doing dread locks again.

I've been really enjoying doing vectors with adding high contrasts to the original and using only a few colours to achieve the end result.

I'm trying to either be more creative or trying to get away from the original as much as possible with using different colours.

Also been playing with vector textures... this is just a simple pattern on multiply @ maybe 3 or 5% - I can't remember. Wanted to give a subtle textured paper effect. Also added some radial gradients on low opacity to give a dulled effect in parts.

Love experimenting with vector texturing :D :eager:

I'm very happy with the result of this.

Named after the awesome Depeche Mode song "Enjoy the Silence" - one of my top 5 songs of all time :D :eager:

Awesome, awesome! I really like the colours you used, and the texture works great to give a different effect. Her expression is very beautiful, and I must say I love when a vector looks very different than the original image, that makes it a lot more interesting to look at! :D
Great piece, and great song!!! :+favlove:

This is very beautiful!! Impressive! :love:
It has the perfect contrast and the choice of colours really add to that too! I love how the lips blend perfectly into the skin and you did such a great job on the nose and eyes as well! I really think you made the right choices for this, like the use of negative space and colours! I love it very much! :nod:
This inspired me to continue on a neglected piece I started on a while ago (alsof with negative space and purple/blue colour range) :aww:
