Day 48 of 365 days.
Won my nightly poker game in record time and then I was just sitting up watching TV (I don’t sleep much) and when midnight hit, I decided to get a jump on todays self portrait. I was especially eager since what I had planned seemed like it was going to take a while. In actuality I got it done in a little over two hours. This is actually what i initially had planned for yesterday, and its an idea that I had been toying with in my head for weeks. In fact the portrait from Day 30/9-10-06 uses the same basic techniques. What we have here is a "self portrait" in pretty much every single sense of the word. Sometimes silly photoshop tricks just amuse me. Its amazing what you can do with a camera, a pad of paper, a computer and a wacom sketch tablet.

Fave! This is just too cool, Mav!
thankyou for the comments everyone.
@seraphic: I took a picture of my sketch pad, I took a picture of myself. I shrank my picture and superimposed it on the sketch pad and then used my wacom tablet to overdraw on it and a layer mask to blend them. Then I drew in the pencil in my hand by hand and distorted a copy of it into a shadow.
Amazing!

Great idea and execution, really cant say more.
@studio – I think there’s always more to be said than that but anyway…
Mav – I think this is an awesome shot, saw it in 365 earlier and thought it was a great idea, I would perhaps like to see your face but looking down does fit with the theme. Muted colours are cool, and the various lighting is nice too.

<I guess i did not say enough with my comments.
I could have written it out and said, I think this is a great shot and i have have seen it in other groups and thought it was a great shot then too. This is a PHOTOSHOP project and not a photograph, that is whay i did not say more than " great idea and execution" I love Photoshop and hope to get as good at it as this picture. Just because you add a bunch of words, does not make it a better ….comment……
Nice capture!!
Come on!! You kno that tihs is cool too!!!
Actually this is the first time I see something like this.

Nice execution of a great idea. Maybe the subject has already been explored by others, so I would have preffered to see a more unique creation. I nevertheless like this image, and I think this is due to a very nice composition. The position of the model (I guess it’s you) is particularly well studied.

Yes maybe something like this has been done. Just not like this. So It is certainly creative. Composition, I love it. I struggle with capture on photoshopped images. That is just me. Love the colors though Very well done!

This is awesome Mav!
I’ve had an idea kinda like this (based on escher’s hand-drawing-hands) in my head for a long time…but I’m not sure I can actually pull it off (or figure out what the idea is exactly).
This is great.
thank you, everyone.
@d.rex: Yeah, I actually had had this idea for a while before I actually did it. I had to wait til I had the time to work on it.
Fun to look at this. Great idea.
