Nude Dude

A test image for a technique I wanted to try - creating blocks of colour over a dark background, rather than drawing lines over the top of the colour as I usually do. It took me more than a few hours at the wacom tablet to create all of the individual shapes (621 objects with 3466 points in case you were wondering) but I think that it was worth it in the end.

And come on now, I know you're wondering - how come he's wearing his birthday suit? Well the nude portraits by Lucien Freud were one of my main inspirations for this image so I thought that I would put my prudishness aside and just go with it.
