Ziaphra 03-09-2007, 10:46 AM There is very little that I love more than smudge painting! Gorgeous little fellow! NancyJ 03-09-2007, 12:35 PM Not my best work... especially the whiskers Peter S 03-09-2007, 01:06 PM Sorry can't find my smudge brush anywhere - bad eyes don't ya know. This will have to do. Peter You knew I'd say that didn't you Swampy? Swampy 03-09-2007, 01:26 PM Smudge painting is something I've only tried a couple times, but here is my version. Kinda lost it in the whiskers and lower neck where his (her?) hair goes willy-nilly. palms1 03-10-2007, 09:30 AM Great a smudging thread, done what i call a fluffy smudge Palms Swampy 03-10-2007, 01:36 PM Fluffy, indeed, Palms.

I really like your treatment of the coon's eyes. TwoLaidBack 03-16-2007, 01:16 PM Hi Swampy, Nice image to work with Thanks for posting it. Ok here's my take on what this fine little fellow should look like once smudge painted. Hope ya'll enjoy. TwoLaidBack Swampy 03-16-2007, 02:17 PM TLB... That is fantastic. How did you get that soft grainy look? TwoLaidBack 03-16-2007, 03:46 PM Hey Swampy, Hm I used Paint Shop Pro v8.10 and the softness came from smudge painting it and the grainy look was achieved by applying Effects/Brush Strokes with the setting set to Softness=2 Length=15 Density=25 Bristles=13 width=10 Opacity=0 Angle=143 Color=#5B5B5B. This is one of my favorite presets for this tool! :bigthmb: LOL I haven't found away to achieve this effect in Photoshop :o: but some other's here may be able to get something real close. Hopefully! Hope this help. TwoLaidBack Swampy 03-17-2007, 04:07 AM I can see why it's one of your favorites! It does add a wonderful softness to the smudging. TwoLaidBack 03-17-2007, 12:14 PM I haven't found away to achieve this effect in Photoshop :o: but some other's here may be able to get something real close. Hopefully! Thanks swampy I hope you and everyone else get plenty of use out of the effect. Oh and Swampy I should have stated above that I haven't found a way to achieve this effect using Photoshop Elements 3 not Photoshop. :o: TwoLaidBack |
