Information about this drawing (Lady Gaga With Cigarette):

:bulletblack: Reference Photo Used

:bulletorange: Media = Adobe Illustrator CS4

I decided to go a little bit more stylized with this than what I normally do in Illustrator. I wanted a slightly more blotchy type appearance (I usually make skin tones smooth).

:bulletorange: Tools / features used in Illustrator:

Pen tool; pathfinder (divide); gradient mesh (in a few of the high lighted wrinkles on the skirt, and I think on the neck);
Illustrator's Gaussian blur filter (only on a few spots, such as upon a dark shape placed on top of the right arm, on one or two orange shapes placed below hair segments)

I used Jimro's brushes for much of the hair strands (solid segments were made with regular paths via the pen tool).
Please visit Jimro's account (thank you, Jimro!)

:bulletorange: "Live Trace" was not used on any part of the drawing.

Photoshop was used only to re-size the vector drawing, and I added my name to the lower right using Photoshop. The drawing itself (Gaga, her dress, the hair, etc, the necklace, etc.) was all done in Illustrator.

:bulletorange: Please do not use this drawing without my permission.
