Vector Tracing Portrait

Vector Tracing

I did a image tracing of my girlfriend’s portrait, I got too excited doing this and totally forgot the color limit, I showed her the final picture at least she’s happy.

Patterns

Synthetic: Chinese Knot and “fortune” Paper cut

Comments: in the center is a woven Chinese knot we use to symbolize best wishes, combined with a paper cut “fortune” character. Both of which are commonly used for holidays. Images were cropped/selected so that adjacent tiles have seamless transitions.

Animal: Snakes in the dark

Some simple line sketch of snakes, different color schemes were used and parts at edges all connect seamlessly. I meant to have the snakes form some sort of symbol at first, but it didn’t turn out that great so here is what it’s like now.

Makeup for Additive/Subtractive

After

This photo caught my attention when i was looking back at my trip to lake Bled, Slovenia. The place was beyond incredible but it was quite a pity that a few pieces of trash got in the way of my shot, so i removed them with photoshop.
