Style Experiment

Description

Study of a photo by Irving Penn(not sure who the subject is). I wanted to try some different things stylistically with this one...I'm a big fan of Sergio Toppi's work, and I've always wanted to try some of the distortion techniques he uses in his work. I simplified the shapes in this but still tried to keep an element of realism. The color scheme is analogous with a complimentary. Hope you like! check out my blog where I'll be posting the majority of work like this: [link]

Aw man, I adore this. My own style has always been recognized (as I'm told by others) for having very sharp, dramatic lines and angles. Lately I'm getting more into high detail paintings, and the more realism, the more I'm losing that flavor, or so I fear. This is a great example of how one can keep both qualities - very inspiring! I'd love to see you toy with the technique in future.
