Make Watercolor and Marker Style Portraits with Illustrator - StumbleUpon
With this tutorial, we are going to work through ways of creating digital portrait illustrations that have a unique and somewhat tactile feel of marker and watercolor.

Step 2: Import the reference photo Import the photo you will be using as a reference (File > Place). Size it up or down as necessary—try to size it up to the artboard.

How to Create Transparent Gradients Using Blends
It wasn't until Illustrator CS4 that you were able to create transparent gradients. However there is a way to create them with any version of CS. By using blends, you can create a variety of radial and linear gradients, just as you can in CS4+. A Linear Gradient is when one color morphs to another, in one line. Part 1: Linear Gradients Step 1 Using the Line Segment Tool (Backslash), draw a vertical line with a stroke color and leave the fill null. Step 2 With both lines selected, go to Object > Blend > Make. Step 3 Then drill down into the Blend group and select one of the lines. Step 4 Select the whole blend group and go to Object > Blend > Blend Options and change it to Specific Distance and the value as 0.1mm, then click on OK. Step 5 There we have your transparent linear gradient. Part 2: Variable Transparency Sometimes when you create a gradient, you want the color to be more intense at one end of the gradient. Drill down into your blend group and select the line which has 100% Opacity.
