Aww this is so cute, i had to add him, recently i stayed at my friends house, and she was alittle frightened as her house had a mouse, not a welcomed visitor, lending a friends cat for the weekend, to help her out, reminds you just what cats are for, to work, to catch mice, and to look very cute!

Do you see a KUTE KITTY or a KILLER KAT?

Supurb closeup and cropping on this one.

From the Layers Palette snapshot I hope the evolution makes sense...

I did something a little unusual this time. Instead of using Smart Blur/Edge Only or Find Edges as a source of edge detail, I used two effects from the Virtual Painter plugin: Collage and Drawing. Each renders black lines amongst vibrant colors. See the attachment for how I extracted "just the lines" from each layer.

"Lines" Layer 1 and "lines" Layer 2 were merged into Layer 3. I might have used just Layer 3 for the lines, but I thought "all black" looked out of place.

So, I Ctrl + clicked on Layer 3's thumbnail in the Layers Palette, to "load the selection" (marching ants appear). Then I clicked on the original Background and Ctrl + J to create a layer of colored lines based on the selection.

This was a quickie...

I used the pattern maker, using a selection of the fur on Kitty's nose as my pattern. That became my background. Then I adjusted the opacity of Kitty. No biggie this time.

I thought it best to keep kitty looking somewhat normal....

I adjusted levels and curves and overlayed a bit of a brown texture to it and turned down the Opacity to about 20%.

TylerRB - Love that strong looking cat. Rich color. Very nice!

PS watercolor filter - my observation - if u gaussian blur the image (approx 3) before applying the filter (approx 6-8,0,1) you get a better wc effect (in my opinion)
For this one, i also used custom filter to sharpen, texture sandstone.

K, I took your image (hope you dont mind), desaturated it, and applied usm (78,250,0) and (according to me) it was a perfect pencil sketch effect.
Thank You, you've given me a brilliant idea!!
