Neil Patrick Harrisby =thewholehorizon

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

Neil Patrick Harris

He was in the lead for a while on my poll (now Orlando Bloom is ahead along with Joseph Gordon Levitt, get your votes in for who in the list you want to see next!) plus he was the first one that came to mind when I even made the poll so I was more than happy to start with him.

This particular portrait also ended up being the subject of my tutorial for Image Transfers for anyone who was curious.

I ended up toning down the texture of the jacket a bit but I'm proud of myself for not having to smooth it out completely, and I'm very happy with how the stripes turned out (although I don't think I want to attempt that again any time soon!)
