Your points are very helpful!<br />I had completely given up on this picture 2. But now I must look if I can change a bit with picture editing on the computer. Unfortunately I do not have bccmee's talent and the pictures normally do with me what they like and not what I would like them to do ;o)CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-16682191176964485082011-05-15T19:25:03.855+01:002011-05-15T19:25:03.855+01:00Oh, your blog logo picture would be perfect!

I am not really an artist, but we are certainly all very familiar with his dear face, so I can't help but feel like somewhat of an expert!

Is it the one with different shades of grey?<br /><br />I could doe transfers of pictures, even coloured ones into cross stitch with an old program I have on a PC at my parents. But then I would have to do it in hand stitch. In favourable estimation, it would take me about 50 years to finish that project. So perhaps I should continue to try to find a faster approach.<br />My blog-logo would work immediately. I always can go back to use that ;o)<br /><br />Thank you very much for your tips, phylly3, and also for finding likeness in picture 2. I had given up all hope with it, but perhaps some editing in the computer might help. <br />Thank you for your ideas and tips!CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-83969063774110992762011-05-15T00:49:00.596+01:002011-05-15T00:49:00.596+01:00Picture 2 is a very good likeness.The basic face s...Picture 2 is a very good likeness.The basic face shape and nose are very good. I also like the hair. The mouth is close but perhaps the lips are too shaded. I'm not sure what you could do for the eyes other than perhaps make them bigger? Some white space under the iris? I am not sure as I haven't tried my hand at sketching him yet. But yours is a wonderful first effort!<br />Nat had a link to a cross stitch pattern awhile ago. You could probably adapt that picture for sewing.<br />I just Googled Richard Armitage cross stitch pattern and there were a few to choose from. Here is one I liked:<br />http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=360275271990Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.com
