Rotoscoped Portrait Gallery

This assignment is not as easy as it looks. It is an exercise using the pen tool in Photoshop which is the most challenging graphical tool to control, but it's also the most rewarding because you can make precise clean curves. Some of the examples below are excellent while others are very poor and are there to show what not to do. Look at the examples and try to determine which ones look like they were created correctly with the pen tool and which ones don't. The below examples are only of the faces of people, but you will create the face and body of your chosen person. You will also be required to have a meaningful message on their shirt in which your character represents. Chose a creative pose that supports your character too. Follow this handout.
