Peter I really like this look you have mastered....

Danny its a lovely photo to paint and all previous renditions are great...

I have tried the oils brushes in Painter....wanted a more painted look and hope I havent over done it!!! Used Flaming Pears Aetherize to change the colors a bit and framed in Photoshop with an action...

Patricia...like your painting... especially the texturing of background and the dress.
Steve ...this is what they call "an art of contrast"

Did you think about a name? Something like "A princess and a pig", or "realities of life".

..no, but you came up with some goodies. Didn't know there was a name for this kind of off-beat thing, but it's fun to try for a different approach sometimes.

Well ok, how about "Swell & Swine?" And there's always "Beauty & The Beast."

Thank you Patricia. I can't wait to see what this slightly demented mind comes up with next either.

Patricia, Maragret.
thanks for the kind words.
BUT looking at both your own works I see I still have a lot to learn.

Peter

Peter...I think it will be a never ending learning curve for us all...I have only just scratched the surface of Photoshop, Painter and all the other programs i play in...i am always delighted when i get a light bulb moment and things click into place...I dont know how to do the lovely effects you are getting...yet!!!

Patricia...

MargaretM · #**117** 12-05-2006, 11:43 AM

A liquid ink version primed in PS and painted in Painter.
I agree with PatriciaKay, PeterS - so much to learn - a never ending process.

Another go done in Photoshop. Aimed for a lineart effect using the stamp filter and masking.

Hi Margaret...

Both are lovely...havent tried the stamp filter...is there a tute for it..gives a great look...

Patricia...

MargaretM · #**120** 12-06-2006, 11:38 AM

Heh Patricia. I also had not used the stamp filter much but became aware of its potential in a tute link Danny(I think) had posted for comic art.

http://www.photoshopmama.net/chores/...omicart_1.html
The filter uses foreground and background colors, so preselect your colors.
I ended up adding to the outlines on a blank layer by using a hard brush with black, and masked out what lines I did not want. The layer underneath this stamp layer was filled with my lighter color and I masked it through. Hope this helps.
I like the look it gives and will be messing about with it more.
