KEANU REEVES
Another famous ppl vector art... always following my "simplification style"... this one actually turned out to be chalenging cause the original pic captured him closed up, i mean, very few elements were left at the image to make Keanu recognizable... as you may see by the thumbnail, at first sight it´s a bit weird and difficult to guess who is in the shot... so my goal was to make a vector that captured his very subtle eye expression, so then when you look closer you just "get him"... the eyes are sooo important in recognizing faces... that´s why i really pay atention to them... i also like detailed hairs... and the rest of the vector is just a very simplified and straight to the point compliment... that´s the way i like to draw... ;)

skrew all the people who say it doesn't look like him :P i've seen the original and it's hard to tell it's him in the photo too. i love this as much as i love keanu

oh thanks very much for your comment!! as u see it was a real challenge to capture in vector this keanu photo! and the real goal of this one was to see if it would actually work out well! it came to be a polemic image of him, some ppl can catch him, and some cannot, and this is all so interesting... to study how the recognizing mechanisms work is something really enjoyable... lol

let´s keep on the move! ;)

As far as technical merit.. : ) It's good. I don't see Keanu at ALL, though (and yes I read the explanation and tried three times to see him *tear*).

thanks for you comment! it´s so good to have your feedback towards my art :)

yep, actually i´ve noticed many of my friends who saw the original picture said kinda "hey, keanu is different in this photo, it doesn´t look like him at all..."
I got the photo at google search... then I decided to try it on vector due to this "unresemblance" it had... i thought, hey in doesn´t work much as a photo, let´s see what happens vectorized... lol and it´s so interesting to see how some ppl can see him at the image and others cannot... my sister said he was weird and some of my friends said "wow this keanu got beautiful!" at the very fist sight... definitely interesting points. thanks Echo once more! hugs

The lips and everything turned out awesome, but I don't know if it looks entirely like him. I can't say I'm an expert though :b

yes it doesn´t look straightly like him, even the original pic didn´t at all. that´s why I chose this photo to vectorize, because it was SO chalenging to capture him and make ppl "get him" when they looked at the drawing. It was a good training to my own style, wich is to capture just the essence, the core of the image and make it functional and beautiful... thanks for your comment!! your feedback is waht i need to improve! ;)
