Some Illustrator portraits.

I did a bunch of these for people trying to improve my AI skills. Here are a few of my favorites.

Hmm, I'll have to look into that now that I have CS2. It sounds like it would be easier than shading skin using only object gradients. I never got into the gradient mesh tool either. Looks like I'll be doing a lot more of these to learn Live Color and the gradient mesh. When I started doing these I called it the comic book characture series, using only solid shapes, but the series morphed into a lot more detailed and shaded pieces.

Thanks Zekesmom and darkangel.
