This is a portrait of my fiancée, she is my fire, my muse, my daily
source of energy, she is a gift! I'm so grateful to have her.
This is a full painting made with colored circles on a black surface.
You might ask, what exactly is Digital Circlism ? This is a modern artistic expression,
a mix between Pop Art and Pointillism. It is made with digital tools (this is just a personal definition).
In my opinion, the most important thing to focus on before starting that kind of project is to understand
the dynamic movement of someone's face. I usually paint each circle individually on a black surface with a sharp
round brush in Photoshop CS4 (but it could be any other graphics creation software). See the making of below.
It is also essential to pay attention on the aspect of each circle (changing slightly the size and color
for every circle is always better). That's the difficult part, because there can be several thousands circles in a single
portrait. It has to be done with harmony, according to the main lines and dynamism of the subject represented.
I usually make bigger circles in the lighter areas of the subject and smaller circles in the darker places. This gives
more volume and a 3D illusion. There is no limit, it's a new technique and I think there is much more to do with it.
