Description: Choose a well-known designer. Then use LIVE PAINT to reveal the value of the picture. Firstly, I used a pencil to trace the details of the portrait. This step takes a lot of time. After that, I filled it with black and white based on the light source. Lastly, I added some details like hair and wrinkles.
Solution: After I finished the basic portrait, I looked normal. I thought I had to make a difference, so I split the gradation block by block to make it look more characteristic and stronger than the original picture. As a result, the illustration looks dynamic. Finally, I added some diagonal lines to emphasize the more prominent aspect. This is an interesting project. I learned patience and creativity in making something different from the original.
