Frank Zappa

Just did this commissioned portrait of Frank Zappa for a friend. Not a big fan of his music but he seems like a very wise man and has a lot of interesting quotes to his name. Can’t beat that ‘stache either.

Brush pen with digital color.

  1. Nice. You captured his slouch and gangly frame nicely. The colors are beautiful. Did you convert the ink scan to vector and then drop in the color in Illustrator? Inquiring minds want to know.

    • Thanks for the comment! The ink was scanned and then colored using a combination of Painter and Photoshop, no Illustrator. I know the coloring looks somewhat vectored, but it it’s a little “scratchier” on the edges when you can see it up close or printed at 18 x 24.
