Another redesign

Well, so much for my caricature per week idea. I've been busily trying to finish a portrait commission for a friend, I'll definitely produce something new this weekend. As well as the portrait, I've been busy coming up with a new design for drawmyface . . . again! Yes, the site has seen several redesigns over the last couple of years, but this one is going to be better than before. Since getting into web design as a job, I've learned many things about what makes a good web site. I'm finally ditching the light on dark look, and going for a more readable white background with dark text. And more importantly, the site will finally be XHTML compliant, using CSS to style the page, rather than HTML tables (if you don't know what any of that means, you probably don't need or want to know). Suffice it to say, it will be nicer looking, cleaner, and easier to navigate than ever before. Here's a sneak preview of the initial concept, although it may take some time for me to actually implement the design.

In the meantime, check out Paul Moyse's great video of how to paint a caricature in Photoshop - amazing stuff. I hope to make some videos like this when I get a bit better at the digital stuff.
