| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Lion on the rocks MGM again some neat brush strokes, Steve.
Sylvia.. smudging is not my forte either (that's why I painted mine after I attempted to smudge it...LOL), but yours is a magnificent lion indeed. |

Great pic Swampy I've a feeling this will get revisited a few times.

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Lion on the rocks LOL@Palms.. She made the first "Catty" remark!
Seeing as how Swampy posted for all the "Smudgers" (or not).. I Thought I would try this AHB thingy everyone is talking about because my other smudged kitty attempt came out pretty bad |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Lion on the rocks I couldn't smudge my way out of a paper bag, so I did mine in Painter (& CS2).
Thanks again, Swampy.

Smudging has never been my thing, as it takes too long for my taste, but this one took me about 45 mns, which is not TOO bad.
It's one of the first time I try a real smudge, and I'm pretty pleased with the results... Will have to try it again...

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Lion on the rocks Once again, many thanks to Swampy for the fun image.
I did some "pre"-processing (mostly D&B) and liked the enhanced look, so I'm posting it.
The art is AHB and then my usual heavy-handed post-processing.
