Thanks Pierre. I think that women's ears have been pierced for centuries, especially if they were wearing valuble jewels.

Thanks Craig. I think the girl is lovely and that she has an "old world" look.

Nice work Nancy. I really like the effect.

Isn't she beautiful!

I did this in painter9.

Its a cross between adding chalk, and then cloning then taking it to photoshop7 and changing the hues etc, basically i just go with the flow and see how it comes out, i dont have a method on each picture its just a shot in the dark LOL!

I use the mouse not a tablet and pen.

Ella

Blimey its like being new again i cannot suss out the uploading it to 100kb it will have to do its almost 2am.

Watercolor Illustration.

Merging my new Highpass sketch technique for color (set the result to value with the original as base) for this one. Had to do some additional cleanup work and colorization, so this one is not all filters.

Great photo and really nice Mona Lisa interpretation, perfect for the classic mood of this.
I tried similar, making it look like an old painting. I used tone curves and a tinted yellowy layer to adjust the colours, then duplicated a few times, used blurs on one layer, smudges on another and a lighting effects filter to texturise and try to add depth, then played with opacities to find something i liked. I overdid her neck area smudging so copied from the original and used lightness mode and a low opacity to put a bit of texture back.

This is a lovely image and I'm glad you did an interpretation of it. You definitely have a knack for this sort of thing. Keep 'em coming.

You certainly nailed the look you were trying for. Very well done!

Looks almost like you took a photo of a renaissance painting in a gallery.

Just great!

Cartoonish effect using Photoshop cutout filter, layers, and a bit of touchup cloning.

What a lovely little girl. :-) Thanks for the photo, Danny

Objective: To soften the stark hard lines created by the flat dark hair (head outline) and the dress neckline and render a very soft pastel version.

Used quickmask to select the subject and copy to a new layer.

Created a new layer and filled it with a soft parchment color and added texture. Placed this layer above the selection layer

Used a very soft drybrush at very low opacity and the eraser tool to paint through the textured layer below.

Added another textured layer above the first and with the same drybrush, painted in the mottled background.

Merged all and recropped.
