I could have called it "Drawing Vs Photography"...
All the graphic elements shown in this set (and in my Flickr stream) come from my own production. I drew the sketches, took the photos, edited them...
If you wish to have any more information or simply want to download and own the original version of one of my creations, please contact info@theartistery.com

"Digital Circlism" is a new technique I'm developing. I'm gonna make many other portraits in this style.
You might ask, what exactly is Digital Circlism ? This is a modern artistic expression, a mix between Pop Art and Pointillism. It is made with digital tools (this is just a personal definition).
In my opinion, the most important thing to focus on before starting that kind of project is to understand the dynamic movement of someone's face. I usually paint each circle individually on a black surface with a sharp round brush in Photoshop CS4 (it could be any other graphics creation software).
It is also essential to pay attention on the aspect of each circle (changing slightly the size and color for every circle is always better). That's the difficult part, because there can be several thousands circles in a single portrait. It has to be done with harmony, according to the main lines and dynamism of the subject represented.
I usually make bigger circles in the lighter areas of the subject and smaller circles in the darker places. This gives more volume and a 3D illusion. There is no limit, it's a new technique and I think there is much more to do with it.

A composite Image is a picture that is made from the combination of multiple images merged into a single surface.
The photos in this set are "constructed" creations. This technique often generates interesting and weird surreal effects. Call this "manipulation" or "montage" if you wish.
I made them with elements from my own stock accumulated over the years. For example, a crazy cloud from Holland, a nice looking animal from Africa, a tree from Canada, any object or subject worth to be seen and combined into a brand new and original composition. There is no limit to creativity, everything is possible.
Of course, there are different levels of difficulty when you start making composite images. In the past I often used only 2 or 3 different photos that I merged into a single creation (let's say a cool sky and a cool land). I'm now rather interested in making more complex images made sometimes from more than 10 elements coming from different photos I took in various places around the world. I sometimes even paint some whole parts of the images I'm working on.
In my opinion, the important thing to focus on when you make that kind of project is to merge the visual elements together in a natural way and make all the added shadows, painted light effects, enhanced perspectives, etc look good and "spontaneous". Depending on your final goals, this can be time consuming.

This is a selection of my older traditional drawings made with ballpoint pens (not pencils) on large paper. I just scanned the final drawings and colored them digitally... I used this simple cross hatching technique several years back, it gives some interesting effects, the only thing is that it's harder to make corrections when you make mistakes... I have now switched to 100% digital. I still make full drawings and paintings on paper/canvas from time to time but I rather prefer to work with real brushes then. :)
