i did this in illustrator based off a desaturated pic of myself.
basically, you break the image down into 3 layers: dark, midtones, and light.
the dark has the crosshatch, midtones have lighter sketch, and leave the light part alone.
works the same way with the pen tool.
i'll do a tutorial on here if y'all really want to see the process from start to finish.

I'm no [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Mel Marcelo but I do digital illustrations as well. I pretty much live in Illustrator so I'm very familiar with the software. I work in CS5 and as far as I know there were very minimal changes and the only ones I use at all are the perspective grid and the stroke width adjustor (basically change widths of stroke between two points). And these take a loooooong time, each one is probably 15+ hrs so I can only imagine how long Mel Marcelo's are. I haven't actually made one since the spring but here is what I've done so far...[/font]

I've found that if you want to do graphic design for a living, it would be in your best interest to pick up some web design skills as well. As much as I love design, it just doesnt afford me the standard of living that I would like. However, when I brushed up on my CSS/jquery/PHP skills, I could offer more services to my clients, as well as charge more. Now I'm getting 3x what I was making just a year ago, and have alot more work coming my way. I don't like coding, but I do like money, as it affords me more time to do what I wanna do and sing the songs I like to sing.
I digress, post more designs and I'll get back to y'all with some info on the contest. I have some supreme gear and pine foams I'm thinking about throwing down just to see this jump off properly.

True. Graphic design as a profession got hit hard with the economy going down. No one wants to pay top dollar for services unless you are the best of the best. Web is where it's at and print design is becoming a lost art. If you do design, make sure to go with the times too. Flash was huge 10 years ago and not everything is CSS or blog style sites. And yes...coding sucks and I learned just from trial and error.
I'll be working on some stuff and will post stuff as I progress. Let's make this thread live!

I have my eyes on this thread.. I'm really getting into web design, and graphic/web design go hand in hand. I'll have to learn this eventually. I need logos for my salon and new project that I'm starting.

I also suggest you guys all learn WordPress as well.
I love design, but I'm not about that starving artist life...
Knowing your HTML and CSS is crucial at this point in the game.
