"Triplets"

Steve C.

Danny, I was wondering where all the painters went? LOL. Thanks for the play, this is a beautiful picture.

Sharpens, blur, aniso, and some other stuff. PST over a Conté Crayon filter layer.

Like the triplets Steve
Swampy nice one (especially the other stuff :grin:)

Tried to do something different with the ahb

Palms

Hello I'm Maggie and I'm a newbie. I have been wandering around here for a couple of weeks trying to take the plunge. Well at last I'm here. I'm still working in Photoshop 7.

I duplicated the first image, set it to overlay and 60% opacity for layer 2.
then I duplicated the layer 2 and repeated the process for layer 3.
Turned off layer 2. and flattened image.

Maggie

Hello and welcome Maggie, You have done it now and took the plunge ( not that bad was it ? )
And that is a great image to have started with, well done :)
look forward to seeing more from you

Palms

Vitali- thanks for the workflow and the impressionist set! :)

I knew I wanted to cartoon these and had a lot of fun doing so. I tried too many variations to post and settled on this one.

Thanks for the play. It was marvelous fun.
