Trying a new technique: Creating portraits 100% digitally by using various brushes and digital drawings in Photoshop (Wacom Intuos 5 graphic tablet). The first one is the young Al Pacino. More to come. See the whole project here.

Actor Illustration: Denzel Washington
Great actor Denzel Washington in »Training Day«. Still a great movie! This is a black and white illustration I did a few months ago. Maybe I’ll make a whole series with this style.
Portrait: Birol Uenel
Portrait of one of the best German actors Birol Uenel. If you haven’t seen a German movie yet you should check out at least these two: »Heads On (Gegen die Wand)« and »Soul Kitchen« by Fatih Akin.
Portrait: Benicio Del Toro
»Traffic« is one of my favorite movies with the great actor Benicio Del Toro. I think this is the only black and white portrait I did so far.
Portrait: Johnny Depp
I remember that I struggled a lot with this one. Especially to catch the light smile. When I thought it was finished, I had doubts the next day. So I worked the whole day to improve it. That’s the result.
Portrait: Leonardo DiCaprio
I think this is my very first portrait I did with the ink and watercolor technique. It’s also one of the most complex drawings, because I used 4 different yellow/ochre tones to draw the face, starting with the brightest to the darkest color.
