heppnerguy Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 Because I wish to eventually get to portrait patterns I thought I would take a crack at one.. So I tried two different versions on the same pattern. Which one do you like better ? Then can anyone tell who this is supposed to be? I guess that is the true test of things. I understand that there are a variety of ways to make a pattern and I would like to try a least a couple of them. So here is my first effort, so that I can get some opinions on them. Please honest, should you choose to chime in and help me.. Which one do you judge to be the better or do both of these suck. You won't hurt my feelings so fire away, I am looking for both positive and negative statements as that is what is going to help my in the long run.. Dick heppnerguy lawson56 1 Quote
wombatie Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I prefer the second one, the one on the right. Martin Luther King??????????????????????????? Marg ChelCass 1 Quote
kywoodmaster Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I am with Marg, The right one is much better and there is no doubt that it is DR. King. Keep on with what you are doing. Quote
spirithorse Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I also agree with Marg and kywoodmaster. I prefer the one without the large shadow and I belive it is Martin Luther King. God Bless! Spirithorse Quote
woodduck Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 One on the Right Dick ,looks much better. Quote
lawson56 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I think Mr King # 2 is the better of the 2.Awesome job Dick. Quote
Gordster Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 I too like the 2nd one...good work Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 #2 , You did a good job on Dr. King...... Quote
meflick Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 While I made my choice before scrolling and seeing everyone else's reply - I also chose #2 - the one on the right - so so far you have 11 votes and all for #2. I agree, the reason I liked #2 better was the smaller "Shadow" on his left side of his face. While I thought both looked like Dr MLK, I thought #2 was a little better likeness overall. As you say, in some part - the "art" in making the pattern is by the pattern maker and the choices they make "artistically" to get across the image they have in their mind. I think you are doing great work in learning to make your patterns. Keep up the good work. Quote
heppnerguy Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Posted January 13, 2017 I too like the same as the rest. I see a lot of pieces that have heavy shadow on them like the first one here and thought I would try to see if I could figure out how it is done.. Obviously, I have not nailed it yet but I will continue to try to understand how this is accomplished.. How can I learn if I do not..Thank you everyone for your input Dick heppnerguy Quote
Lucky2 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 I agree with the others Dick, I think the one on the right is the better one of the two attempts. And there's no mistaking it, it's MLK. Len Quote
Sam777 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Posted January 14, 2017 The one on the RIGHT. Good job Sam Quote
heppnerguy Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Posted January 15, 2017 Not a pattern I would post in the pattern library but I enjoyed trying the two methods as I continue to experiment with pattern making Dick heppnerguy Quote
