I actually have 2 favorite pictures. This is because this photo is distorted and exxagerated.
I think this is another one of my best ones. I think I covered and hid my face very well.
This is the normal photo
After distorting
Get the photo you want to distort and export it into procreate.
Remove the background of the photo and turn the photo into black and white.
Distort the face using the liquify tool or other tools but do not distort the picture too much or you will be unrecognizable.
This is my best distorted photo in my opinion because my big head and my big eyes makes me look like a bug or a alien. To make it more recognizable, I made my mouth more big so that mny mouth is my normal size, I also used a glitch effect that gave it some colors and distorted the photos a little bit. Although I'm not sure I can add color but I think it creates contrast with the black and white parts. I used the bloom tool to give the face some contrast of dark and light.
The photo was printed and I folded the photo to make a distorted photo.
I have cut out some parts and stuck them together again.
I have cut out random parts from random photos and made a collage with it.
I have shown the 4 different ways of adding tone: bleding, cross hatching, hatching, scumbling
I have learned that to shade hair I need to use light and dark lines and make them closer or farther away.
This is my final distorted portrait drawing on paper. I have used the cross hatching technique for the blending using a wide range of tone.
