Portr8s Designs Page 1


Given my interest in art and particularly portraiture, then given a computer, it was more or less inevitable that I would try my hand at digital art of some sort. Computer graphics still seems relatively new to me and anything I know so far is the result of only a couple of years experience and a lot of hard work. It seems there is always something else you have to learn. My 'crash course' in computer graphics came when I was asked to design some graphics for a website called 'Lost in Stress'. With absolutely no experience, a laptop dropped on my lap, I was told to just get on with it. Well, I'm still getting on with it, although we do have our moments.... My role in the 'Lost in Stress' website was to design a logo and to come up with a character called Doctor D Stress. I found the challenge of coming up with this cartoon-like character more 'stressful' than doing a pencil portrait. I was definitely his first client! Special thanks goes to Simon Goodman for providing pages of byro doodles, a couple of which would be key to how the image of the doc would evolve. Click the image
