"Digital Color Renditions" is a name I came up with to describe a new medium for portraiture. Each piece is created using the same process as the pencil portraits. They start with a photograph, but instead of drawing on a piece of paper I am drawing on a tablet (like a computerized sketchbook). The work shows up on my computer screen as opposed to the tablet. Contrary to popular belief there is no part of any photograph in the image. Each piece is hand drawn/painted on the tablet using the photo for reference using the same process as my pencil work. They are then printed out using the latest archival ink jet methods. After years of using the tablet professionally for product design, it was a natural medium for my initial greeting card designs. After seeing one of my card designs a client asked if their portrait could be created in this medium? Hence the creation of "Digital Color Renditions."Please view the process below.
