@ ALL: Showed your work to my cat and now he walks around so proud, he never knew that he was looking sooo good.

@ Palms, thank you for your efforts, highly appreciated. If I may suggest a smudging resource I would prefer animals. I will post some higher quality pics so you may choose if you want ro use those.

Animals are fine by me I find them a bit easier (usually) will look for your post

Now as for a tutorial we have been here before, There is nothing i could add to what is already out there, and i am still learning myself ( picked up another 2 or 3 tips this last week or so) But i do believe that the better way is by having a bash, posting what you have got (good or bad) and asking questions and learning from each other, So i will find a image and post in the smudging rescourses thread ( maybe a day or two due to Easter) and take it from there just let me know if you want human /animal / or flower or if YOU have a image post it there and we will see how we go ( and if you dont show up i will chase after you now that is a threat Peter

)

No veil there I see.

How about a Spider????

@ Kraellin, nice sketches, I like the colored one just a bit more
@lkroll, where did you find that metallic color? very, very nice
@Swampy, what a beutiful texture, well done, Lady

Palms... Actually I didn't spend much time on this one...I'll try to remember...

Crop
Duplicate, CutOut Filter (faded) Texture craqleure (faded) Texture dirt (faded) Masked slightly around features.
50% Gray PWL layer to brighten up the eyes.

Maybe a couple other tweaks.. but memory fails.

Cats are "dark" and mysterious to me LOL..

Hey thats not bad. I didn't post my first efforts (blush def on)
If you want to boost the colours a bit try using Cybia's Vivida plug-in (its free and not bad)

Thank you for your kind words, Peter, they are indeed very encouraging. I can't seem to get the edges right, grmbl...have to practice a lot more. I am off to get that Cybia-thingy now...

Happy Easter to all of you and thanks for playing. I love your work.

You have done well Amica I have had a look to see if you have missed any bits but couldnt find any, It dosnt look like you have over smudged ( you get that when the opacity is too strong )
You have done well I will get round to doing something soon but have to much chocolate to eat ( and 11 to cook dinner for today
