The original intention here was to do a ballpoint portrait of Lewis Hamilton in a smooth, photo-realistic style.
I actually took the source photo myself at the Austrian GP, I have a couple more so may have another go at an unscribbled version with one of those.
However after spending several hours on trying to fill in all the black on the hat alone I decided enough was enough and scribbled it out instead.
I’ve used this method before a few times and it’s far quicker though obviously not at all photo-realistic. Hopefully can see who it is from a distance though, and makes it a bit more interesting to get up for a closer look.
This is such a cool style! The scribble is very fun, yet you’ve somehow also captured realism and fine detail. Well done Steve

Many thanks Jon, it’s a great method for releasing the impatience stress of trying to smoothly fill in large areas – arm ache though !!
