| | Very nice and.... .well done, Lynda. I don't know if it's just the way it's looking on my monitor (mac) or the way you intended, but, it seems a little light. But.....I bet it looks great in print!

| | Hey Lynda.....that looks much better! You're becoming quite the digital artist, keep up the great work! Just think of all the money you're saving on sketch pads and pencils! I think you've saved enough for.....hmmmmmm......I know.....a new 256mb flash card. Well......that's the logic I use for myself when I want a new toy.

| | | Great Sketch-what's your technique? Hi Lynda,
I really like this sketch. What combination of handwork & filters do you use? |

| | | John,
Here is a tutorial I wrote for a previous sketch. Have fun. It is addictive.
To Make a Sketch:
1. Get your image ready - unsharp mask, curves, levels, what ever is necessary to have a good image
2. Create duplicate layer
3. Image/Adjustments/Invert
4. Mode/Grayscale - don't flatten
5. Mode/RGB – don’t flatten
6. Image/Adjustments/Invert
7. Image/Adjustments/Levels – add highlights by sliding the white arrow to the left. How much is at your discretion.
8. Create duplicate layer
9. Image/Adjustments/Invert
10. Blending Mode color dodge
11. Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur – adjust so you can see as much detail as you desire.
12. Flatten image
13. Image/Adjustments/Brightness-Contrast (darken the sketch slightly to bring out the detail) I used -3 contrast. |
