Here's an mspaint edit:
![]() 1. resized the original picture to your B&W image size using IrfanView 2. traced with bright red so I have no problem separating the outline from darker colors 3. cleaned up 4. colored with dark grey, then added midtones with a brighter shade 5. added the highlights 6. dithered starting from the darkest color, the highlights colored white, then finally added the darkest shades using black The next thing I would do is probably add more definition around the nose and maybe around the lips. I hope this helps. EDIT: Added 7 with a different dithering style (vertical lines) Edited by DrunkyDuck |

i don't like the dithering, on either of them, you can make a way better picture with a lot less amount of dithering

That's quite a challenge with two colors in such a small space. Dithering is going to look weird without a third color.

in my opinion, you shouldn't be using 50 or 75 % dithering with something |

Well, I took Drunkduck's step five, and I came up with this: The key to monochromatic pictures is contrast... I dunno, it's not the best edit in the world, but I hope this helps you. |

Just kept the two colors for the heck of it, not really for anything else.
In other forums I got suggestions to use different types of dithering and I plan to do that. :) Thank you all for your help. ! This I did just by looking at the picture BTW, not tracing over it. |
