It wasn't contrasty enough, so I brought it into photoshop and increased the contrast before I started. It's my favorite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/667dc948aff875563f2363ac/1719519680155-EIZS419EZAM8WYHWT525/hitchscratch.002.jpg Scratchboards - Hitchscratch (Copy) Hitchscratch OK....I know....didn't you do this as a Digital Charcoal? Yes. But I loved the image so much I thought it would make a good translation to a scratchboard. The bricks on the right were a little daunting. I think the proportions are better in this than the Digital Charcoal version. https://fredraimondi.com/fine-artist/digital-charcoals daily 0.75 2024-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/667dc948aff875563f2363ac/1719519683555-RV80F508U2XOHD2CP7X9/selfportrait_v09+2013-03-15.jpg Digital Charcoals - Self Portrait 1 (Copy) Self Portrait 1 With all the new "phone camera" technology out there, it's easier than ever to take pictures quickly. If I have a camera in my hand and nothing to do, I WILL take pictures. In this case I was at my parent's house and accidentally flipped to the front facing camera on my phone and there I was. The light was good, and I engaged the camera and shot a self portrait. I ran across it and thought it would make a good "digital charcoal". At first I thought, "I'm not that vain, why would I do a self portrait of myself. Then I was looking at a catalog of Rembrandt's works and he did TONS of them. So indirectly Rembrandt gave me permission to do this https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/667dc948aff875563f2363ac/1719519684055-CVT8O4L6104Z2YZ13SC4/dad_v08.jpg Digital Charcoals - Dad (Copy) Dad I had been wanting to do a portrait of my dad for a long time. He has this "look" which I wanted to capture. I started this early in 2012, and when my dad's health took a turn for the worse late in 2012, something inside me wanted to finish this before he passed. It's Oct 17, 2012, it's done and he's still with us. Not sure for how long though. I did this is from a photograph of my dad in 2005 taken in my backyard in Pasadena. It was a much wider image, but I cropped it in because I really wanted a "portrait feel". It was the only shot I had of him with that "look". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/667dc948aff875563f2363ac/1719519683855-0V5PBKAFYMJA8C1CT10H/twaineyeswatermark.jpg Digital Charcoals - Twain Eyes (Copy) Twain Eyes When Mark Twain's autobiography was released - it was held untill 100 years after his death for release - I saw this image of him. I believe that this is the image from the cover of the autobiography. I forget how I came about it, but for whatever reason, I thought that the eyes alone were amazing so I cropped the image to this format and I found that the character still remained. As usual, I became obsessed, and had to create a digital charcoal based on the cropped photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/667dc948aff875563f2363ac/1719519680356-YQ68QVOMQ0G1I0UIBX0D/Hitch Digital Charcoals - "Hitch" (Copy) "Hitch" This was the first concentrated attempt to use digital media to emulate real world media.
