Is it ok that I share this pic? I am not sure what to do with it, so I thought I would throw it out for all you artists to play. Have fun if you will.

Didn't quite know what to do with this one.

Selective color adj. layer on horses and car.
Curves adj. layer on all else.
Levels on all.
Played with some things and adjusted bright/contr.
along with hue/sat.

I brightened it up and added some horse humour LOL

eeeeehaaaaaaakkkkk

:lol: LA...!

I used curves with the pencil to get the funky colors. Smudge, grain.

Question: When in the curves dialog/pencil; is there any way to take a step or two back WITHOUT resetting the whole thing??

I had to go out yesterday so wasn't able to come back a see what you did...tough photo, I realize.

Yes, it's a tough photo. I ended up using India Ink (can't remember the settings) and enhanced the color a bit.

I used a sketch technique. It looks a little like a winter scene.

Kind of muddled my way through this...

Did a buzz layer, duped and on L2 added Impressionist/Goauche
Merged - Auto Contrast
New Layer with a gradient which sapped the colour from the
outside edges (Mode - Color)
Merged - added a texture.

I'm going to try this myself...

Underpainting layer.
Cutout layer.
lineart layer.
adj blends and opacities.
merge visible.
Pattern adjustment layer (wow artist media pattern).


AP

my layer stack is opposite order of what I posted above.

Great result Cardmnal and your texture fits the pic perfectly!

I thought someone would have re-sprayed it in a nice red color!

We left it here for you to do that.... :lmao: :nod:
