| | | Hello Everyone!
Great work.. I especially like Bills. The lighting.. and her eyes.. Wow!
Here is mine. I was just playing with layers and masks. I first made a sketch using the Gausian Blur, and put a crosshatch filter on it. I then duplicated the original layer and ran a watercolor filter on it. I masked that layer and painted in the background. I then created another layer from the original and played with the saturation, masked it out, and painted in her face very lightly.
Added a few highlights.. ANd that was it. |

| | | catarina Tried something new for this one. Made two copies. One I did with Xero's lineart in monochrome, the other in VP color pencil, with everything turned to -5 except for focus. Merged them together and I liked the result so much I couldn't bare to reduce it to fit the max upload size. So I put it here: http://www.fractographics.com/catarina.jpg

AmyHutton | Amy,
Very nice! I am wondering about your statement "Merged them together". Did you layer them with the top set to 50% opacity, or what?
Thanks,
Jeff |

Thanks,
Jeff | No, I took the lazy way out. PSP8 allows you to use an ARITHMETIC command which will add or subtract or multiply or average or do a bunch of other stuff when merging 2 images together. A lot less clicking thatn when you use layers.
