One-Eyed Abe

This here's a close-up of the picture I did for this week's Imagine Learning Art Challenge. I wanted to try painting skin tones from a b/w photo. This was done primarily in Painter with the Artist Chalk brush. I did a bit of touch-up at the end using some of the airbrushes to add a little extra grit, and then in photoshop added a touch of the noise filter.
