Here is a picture of my neice, i would very much appreciate this picture is only used on this forum, and not to used for professional use.

Turn this little cherub into a angel.

Oil paintings. Drawings, Watercolours, show us your artistic talent!

If you need a larger picture i do have one.

She has the most beautiful blue eyes normally first you need to remove the red eyes to cornflower blue!

Here is my attempt at turning a cherub into a angel ( with my grandaughters and niece it is more like turning them from little devils into angels ) couldn't make my mind up which one i liked best so have attached both of them ! ! !

Well, I thought that she was just too beautiful to pass by. I hope she won't mind the fluffy dress.

Cathy hi, that is lovely. She looks so fragile! Well done Christine, I'm sure with all your grand-daughters you'll appreciate little girls and dressing up!!!

Thanks Neve, actually I cheated, I created this and several others for my eldest grandaughter a couple of years ago, they were all created in a vector program (called Xara), all I did was substitute the head and do a bit of smudging in PS.

I've attached some more dresses without heads if anyone else wants to play with them.

Christine!

You just given me an idea...

I am going to print the dresses out, and also print a picture of Emma's top half on a model and then she can dress up herself!

Thank you!!!

Thanks all. What a great idea. I think that I will make a paper doll gift for my granddaughter.

PAM

Oh wow that is absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful!

How you do it?

And i love the signature!

Elle, Thank you

I started off in PS by fixing the red eye and restoring her gorgeous blue eyes, then I increased the size and resolution and cropped to 8 x 10. Extracted Emma from the background and put her on a new one made from a clouds layer with colours sampled from her clothing. Played with hue/sat and contrast a bit then removed the noise with Neat Image.

Cloned in Painter IX using Jeremy's Mish Mash brush for the background, Captured Bristle for her hair and Soft Wet Acrylic for her face and clothing. Dodged in some highlights on her clothing and added some texture in PS.

Hope that helps

Cazubi - I love what you did, she looks like she's in an old painting. Really lovely.
