Detective.
I made this for a work project using A.Photoshop CS4. Most of it is done in vector. 

I used this link to help with the tweed pattern.  deviantart 

Here’s the original/sketch. Lol. I clearly do graphic work better than drawing.

It’s been a long time since I’ve made a vexel or vector. Probably because making one of these causes me to lose major sleep. Once you start, you can’t stop. Well, I stopped once. That was yesterday. Today, I decided to just finish it. Now it’s 9:10am…and I still haven’t gotten sleep. :X

My brother took a cool picture with his camera phone. Not the best quality, but I love it. I decided to turn it into a vexel. I used Adobe CS4. It took me roughly 16 hours from start to finish, on and off. Gosh, I feel like I take forever. Especially since I only posterized it to 4. Lol.

This is the original:

This the photo posterized at 4, my reference:

I’ve definitely done better, but not so bad, ya? I’m not too happy with how the sweater turned out, but I don’t feel like fixing it. And it took me forever to just get the sweater done. I found myself just sitting there, staring at my screen. 
The facial hair was done strand by strand, of course. Fortunately, he was wearing a hat. :) 

Love you, Paul. Miss you.

Okay, now I’m going to sleep. Good morning…
