A better likeness would be if she was smiling, but it’s a lot to ask of someone to hold a frozen smile for 20 minutes while they’re being drawn.

Zomg. Best. Present. Ever.

I’ve been using the tablet in Corel Painter 11, which has opened up a world of infinite artistic possibilities. I’ve also, consequently, lost all desire to ever paint realism again with real media – the results using Painter to convert photos to paintings are too good.

Conversion of a photo of me in Waikiki to "watercolour painting". In addition to being able to select brush type and medium from a wide variety, in Painter you can also select paper type (i.e., watercolour paper).

In addition to being able to select brush type and medium from a wide variety, in Painter you can also select paper type (i.e., watercolour paper). It still looks too photo-like, but I also did a rush job. Corel Painter will emulate wet and dry paint characteristics, brush angle, and smudging/blending/mixing of media. Tres bon!!
