"Doodlerooni"
This is a portrait of my loverly maytee Juan. We spent a photography lesson painting his arm with acrylics and peeling off the layers to make it look all manky!
I wanted to try a portrait in a more fun, hallucinatory style, like those of erwin olaf or david lachapelle! To me, this kind of looks like a strange child's painting.
I have digitally coloured this picture in photoshop and added several tones and level layers to create depth and shadows. The background was in the actual picture itself (a graffiti wall), but I have chosen to enhance it with colours and textures.
My next college photo project is portraits, so there are many more to come! I will be trying out lots of new techniques, so very excited!
