So I have done portrait pieces several times before but this one was very different. How is it different? Well let's take a look.

This portrait was done with nothing but text! So starting off, I did a quick sketch of the reference photo with a pencil and then I wrote all the titles of Miyzaki's works that I have seen, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo, Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, and Nausica. To create different darker values I wrote over and over and wrote smaller. To make lighter values I just wrote big. This was my favorite project in design class.
Here are some detail shots.
And here is the photo I used as a reference.
Now my printer decided to screw up the photo and make the shadows much more darker than they should so that's why there is a huge dark shadow on his face and such.
I used a mechanical pencil and my Sakura pigma micron pen to make this.
