Here's a tribute to Einstein, one man that gave a lot to science, a man I admire a lot. This drawing means a lot to me. It is also my entry to the SKOTW 84 - My hero.

I entered this in Digital Paintings and Airbrushing, and I will probably do that for my next portraits also. They're not really drawings with lines anymore. I could reproduce something alike with traditional paint if I wanted... know what I mean ?

It was not easy to do... I spent so much time on Einstein's face ! It's not 100% alike, and I don't really mind. If I would have wanted that, I would have passed more hours on it. And it wasn't my goal. What was hard was to switch the shadows without changing too much his face. Light coming from beneath. On all his photos (and it's the case for most people also), light is coming from above. It was a great challenge. If you're wondering what he's holding in his hands, it's an atom of hydrogen. Why hydrogen ? Because I was too lazy to draw other electrons spinning around. And one only looked good. So there it is :) Hope you guys like !

I love the surrealism in this picture, especially the hair! Other than the shoulders being slightly mis-aligned, everything else seems ok with me well done!

Thank you for your comment :)
For the shoulders, I personally think they are fine... but that's me lol the only thing that bothers me are the hands, and I left them like this anyway.

Digital painting ftw! It came out really nicely ;3; especially the lighting on the face~ (that's always a hard angle XD)

Gotta love the mystical sciencey feel too~ Awesome Dx

Doesn't look much like a hydrogen atom to me, looks more like Earth and the Moon. :shrug: Ya still did a good job on it though, since the subjects're all related to each other as stated in some of his reports, including one on gravitational fields. Oo
