Buzz Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 Looks like you need a few breaks in the glasses Quote
DonR Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Gator, If you fix the floaters in the glasses, your hair and mustache, run it through Inkscape to smooth it out, It will be perfect. Maybe something like this. Keep up the good work! Don R Edited February 17, 2014 by DonR amazingkevin and Buzz 2 Quote

Phantom Scroller Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 Yes gator a few floaters and as Don has done reduce the white in the hair to many squiggles. Otherwise great job. Roly amazingkevin 1 Quote
Nick@tinkers-cove Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 Your pattern making is starting to look good, Gator. All I'd say is just play around with the image and go to a level of detail that your comfortable with. With a good, clean photo you can sometimes get amazing lines, without so many cuts - (I'm thinking of the hair and beard). I'm no pro, but if I can help you any more, just let me know. Kindest Regards, Nick. Quote
