Hi all This is the second stage of the funny face no:1 All my work is done in Photoshop, I am trying to move over to Illustrator, but for some reason, I just don't feel to comfortable with it at the moment, I suppose after time things will fall into place, it just a matter of familiarity. I have used the Pen tool to do 90 percent of this composition, the dodge and burn tool where used for the shading in the eyes, and allso the tongue. All the best from Keith, I miss my kids :(
