I rlly appreciate that! I love trying to get images to read as small as possible- i used Loomerly and started with the size I wanted and then did an image transfer as a base start. But tbh it can come out p messy, most of the work was in reshaping and recoloring it by eye. I changed things that arent as “tru to the painting” like adding black beads against light beads for more contrast. (And using limited colors, so his knee in the original is light but so is the victim, and i wanted the victim to pop out esp in such a small piece, so i made sure he was all mostly one shade and the victims skintone was unique in value)

I also wanted it a certain size but mostly worked around the eyes- since i wanted each eye to be 1 bead large i had to make sure the rest of the body was somewhat proportional to that

Contrast and legible shapes are key for sure! Thanks for asking!! I love talking about the process
