Player Portrait by Greta Heiss

April 6th, 2010 6:49 PM / Location: 43.130194,-77.60205

INSTRUCTIONS: Paint a fellow player - we'd really prefer that you use their player photo as your model, though. Any medium/style, but let us know what you end up doing with it.

Step 0: Prep

Ok a bit messy in here:

Let's clean it up a bit:
main_02ready89437.jpg
That's better. And we have our supplies:

(I minored in Visual Arts at school. I never excelled at painting but I've got a bunch of supplies left over.)

And are we wearing the proper headgear?

Ok! We are read to get started!

So, I happen to have pics of naming and squanderdalfast from when I got married.

So I sketched them onto a canvas:

Oops, sorry about your nose, squanderdalfast. I know that's not what it looks like but that's as close as I could get.

And then we start to paint:

Uh oh. Kinda have a Ronald McDonald Thing going. Keep going and maybe it'll go away. Paint the suits. Hmm but what color?

Oh God, that is horrible. After several tries I ended up with:

Ok and then re-outlining:
main_14outline89450.jpg

And we're done! A couple more shots for you:

Oh, and as to what I'll be doing with it, I'll be hanging it on my wall, of course! Unless MOMA offers me a million bucks for it.

Turned the flash off for less glare. But then I had to put the camera on something, so more angle.
