This I really like. Could you explain in more detail, especially the India Ink and Texturizer steps?

Hey, Peejay...

Welcome aboard. I've been waiting for Andrew to reply. He's ususally pretty responsive to questions. Perhaps he's offline for a few days.

On the Texturizer part, I'd say that's achieved using Photoshop's Filter > Texture > Texturizer filter. We'll have to wait for the India Ink description.

Thanks for asking. I'd be interested in knowing too.

On the India Ink, Andrew has a technique using the Flaming Pear India Ink product. You can find India Ink here, and also check out Andrew's description of what he does with it. Never tried it myself, so that's the limit of my knowledge...

Sorry for the late reply. I was not paying much attention and didn't notice the request for help. If this happens again, feel free to send me a private message that alerts me to read the thread.

I see someone has already posted a link to the India Ink method. If you need any additional help with this, let me know. The main thing about this method (as with every photoart method) is the results depend a lot of the picture.

As for Texturizer, this is the Texturizer filter in Photoshop. I'm not sure which texture I used in this image, but my guess is it was sandstone, which I backed off to a level where I could just barely see it.

Thanks Andrew, I am off to practise!
