This is one of my earliest video demonstrations. It was done in 2008 when I had less of a grasp for Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. I used cut outs (with a scissor), rather than doing that step digitally. Wji;e i feel that I have found better techniques since making this, it is important to acknowledge the techniques that I used in the past.

Here is the video description-

Artist Merrill Kazanjian breaks down how he makes one of his artworks. Merrill had been a teacher for more than seven years and is sharing his artistic processes with the world thanks to youtube! The process is: Step 1: Look for interesting facial features (eyes, noses and mouths; even ears) from different photographs and juxtapose them on a piece of paper. Step 2: Make an oval for the head and paste down the facial features. The eyes should be in the middle of the oval. Step 3: Scan what you have so far and reprint it in color on a separate sheet of paper. In other words, scan it and reprint it so that you work on a flat surface. Step 4: Use Paint Markers and Illustration markers to tie everything together. I used Decocolor and Prismacolor markers for this picture, acrylic paint would work equally well. Whatever you choose, the point of the 4th step is to make everything look smooth.
