For a man who changed the world...

This portrait is only made with flat circles on a black background.

Every circle has a single color, a single tone and a single size.

I placed each circle one by one. It's a time consuming method.

See the full "Digital Circlism" series: [link]

You can see some details here: [link]

If you wish, you can also view this making of my portrait of Elvis Presley
(video) to understand how I'm exploiting this technique with circles...

I LOVE this type of work and do something like that myself. Just wish you would write a tutorial for it. How do you make the circles. Are they just circulair brushes How do you pick the colors of the circles. IM just amazed by this .

Technique intéressante, complètement obsessionnelle et contrairement aux apparences très ancienne. C'est de la mosaïque mais digitale .
Je préfère de loin le portrait de Bob Marley , l'effet 3D autour du visage et surtout la simplicité des couleurs. Et honnêtement, Steve Jobs dans son IPad me fait un peu flipper avec son air de Dieu le père version ancien testament...
