I’ve been a reader of the Wall St. Journal for years and have always thought the portrait drawings they used were very cool. Well, thanks to
Boing Boing, now I know how they do it. Visit the site of WSJ illustrator
Noli Novak to see her work, or go straight to the
How It’s Done page. BTW, they are called stripple portraits.
A little more history of the headcuts are
here.
