LOL...I just posted all the contest info and was sitting here holding my breath and then saw your post and thought...it's not starting already (wink).

Thanks

[HannibalVector]

Very clear instructions!
No clearification needed.
Not sure if I am gona enter this time, because of a lack of time.
Also thanks to T Paul for al the labour! We sure do appreciate it.

[T Paul]

Well thanks!

The May Contest was reviewed by several moderators, so hopefully all the glitches have been caught....(I know I have spoke too soon or jinx myself now)

It took three tries to post it, but I'm in. The Forum is acting strange for me today.

Here is a color pencil version. I know it's supposed to be BW pencil so that's why I'm posting it here. I think it looks more interesting in color.

Just a little bit about how I did my sketch.
Took around 15 mins and used only basic Photoshop filters/effects

First off I deleted red and blue channels, and converted to gray scale.
Then applied the following standard filters on duplicated base layers.

Photo copy (Sharpened once done)
Bas relief
Graphic pen x4 (one layer for each stroke direction)
Crosshatch (brush effect)

Then it's just a matter of playing with layer opacity on the last 3 above, to get the look you want

3. When you submit your entry put your username in the file name (ie: tpaul.jpg). This is so users can save the images to a local directory and remember who did what--important when it comes time to vote.

Chrishoggy,

Thanks for sharing your steps. I hope to see more members use the Discussion Thread to share/discuss techniques as well as experiment such as Goose did with the color version.
