I just tried Swampy's line art tut and was so pleased with the results. Swampy, you rock!

Nice one. I started out following swampy's method, but strayed after the first few steps, what came out is this. I added blue to the sky, the other colors are from the original image.

Coloring the sky really made it pop. I'll get braver as I go. Still very new to the photo art so I'm checking out all the posts. Some incredible talent out there!

Did my GIMP version of Dee Dee's (Swampy's) line art technique with a few other things.

A bit of Fractalius, Topaz Adjust and finished with Topaz Clean.

Thanks

Wow, Sylvia, that looks great! Love the edges. I really need to figure out the AHB. So far it eludes me...

[sylvia1065]

Thank you, Bpurvis. The edges come from PhotoImpact. I made brushes out of them .
AHB is a fantastic tool, and it's pretty easy to use.

Bravo sylvia. Really like this one.

Grant, I really like your sky. The Topaz plug-ins are on my Christmas list. They give a very distinctive look and it's one of my favorites. Along with the AHB, smudging... ahh, there's so much to learn.
