Thank you...and I'm not even going to try to guess what all you did to get what you did. I would be surprised if you remembered half of it. That's outstanding!

Thank you...nice comments indeed.

Mostly Buzz with layering, blends, and painting in a little detail here and there.

Sometimes the technique works well...sometimes it really makes a mess of the colors in an image. This one just seemed to work.

Nice pic, B.T.W. And interestingly different pose.

I bow to Steve and PJB. Just wonderful, wonderfl renditions!

In my never ending search to find tools that will give me soft chalky looks (or other painterly effects) I ran across Art Rage This is a $20 painting program (Both Mac and PC with a dowloadable demo) with basic media tools (pencil, chalk, oil. palette knife, airbrush, etc) that I used for my version of the sun hat.

Now most of you who know me, know I can't draw/paint if my life depended on it. This was all done "by hand" (with help from the Wacom) with the chalk and pencils tools using default settings for opacity etc. Not as elegant as you pros, but I see potential. :-)

Hello Palms...Like that one ...its great for a practice run....how did you do it??? I love the little daisies that grow in English lawns...we dont have them here...how sad!!!!

Patricia...

[palms1]

Thanks Patricia, used ahb (trimoons watercolour) then added sponge filter, then merged and saved reopened, new layer and used the history brush at about 30% opacity going over painting a couple of times

Not going to repeat my process again (just do a search). Final step was Eye Candy's Jiggle preset again. I attached a smaller size, lower quality version; here's the full high quality rendering. Just click and expand to see the details.

Nice work everyone.

Shame it wasn't a mirror.

nice "jiggling" Ikroll
Very nice Ro it has endless possibilities like she could be looking at the seaside etc hmmm food for thought and if there was a mirror you would have to have used the clone brush extensively to remove the ice cream and chocolate smears
