Girl close up

Another one I found at SXC for you all.

http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1098710

For all you retouchers the original should be a good size.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas to all.

Re: Girl close up

Thought I would give her a Ray Bayer surreal look.

Re: Girl close up

Well, you did say "close up"...

I may have gotten a little tight.. I like DC's crop much better..

Re: Girl close up

Another super find Peter mind you it has got me thinking why are all the female ones pretty and the male ones old etc how about a hunk for us girls next ? ( i expect you may have a few volunteers from here )

First one i used the action made from joeven's fake smudge work flow

and the second from your sketch work flow except i mistakenly done it a bit wrong and liked it and now i cant work out how i done it wrong i know i used a brush on the wrong layer

Re: Girl close up

A stunning photo...

I'm still experimenting with the Richard Ramsey sketch method... I believe it's the best one I've ever come across.

Those are great comments OB!

Wish I could have posted the 200mb size, it really shows off that style.

Thanks much.

Re: Girl close up

thanks, lyle and i like your ice maiden here best of all the iceworks you've done.

and alan, that's a different type of sketch. it's almost like a watercolor sketch.

Re: Girl close up

Definitely like that last one Craig. I can come close, but not quite there yet with a similar technique that I did the Ice Maiden with, but that one of yours is the bomb. Maybe sometime next year, when I see if I still have a job (only worked 25 hours this past whole month; computer business I think is going to fold soon), I might break down and purchase Filter Forge.

Re: Girl close up

thanks, lyle and yeah, that is a pretty radical filter.

well, you could always go buy a mac and get filter forge for free (by signing up for the ff mac beta test)

and how could your computer biz fold? i mean, folks are trying to use vista, right? heck, that shld keep you in biz for years!
