My very first digital portrait!! I am so proud!!
So, I got an iPad for gaming and notes for games mostly. I was watching videos on YouTube about things you can do on an iPad, and I came across a video of a girl cartoonifying herself and her bunny, so, of course I had to take my shot at it.
I used Adobe Fresco, one of the first pics my wife ever sent me (it’s still one of my favorites almost 3 years later), and a whole lot of faith. I’m extremely proud of this, even though it’s not fantastic. It is my very first digital portrait so I’m giving myself some grace. It’s definitely not as bad as it could be, but it’s also not as good as it could be. One day I’ll look back at this and remember where I started, but for now, I’m insanely proud of myself for this.
If anyone has tips for a newbie, don’t hesitate to throw them my way!!
