Just trying to get over my hatred for smudging (my poor mouse finger; ). Did some ACE enhancements along with CherylH's Fingerpaint1 preset (with mods) to start things off). Also used AAA Fotofix filter to enhance the image at the end.

Lyle, if you're smudging with the mouse I don't blame you for hating it. I shudder to think about it.

But I really like what you've been doing with it, so I guess your suffering is worthwhile.

[palms]

Cute pic but she does have the look of a daredevil ! ! ! ! and what else are grandmothers for ! ! !

Thanks for the pic Danny.
I did so much with this, and threw most of it away, I can't remember all the steps.

Cute picture Danny.

I used a variety of techniques mainly focusing on detail sketching.

lqqker,

well, i've said it before and i'll say it again... i'm a fan. very lovely!

i like yours too, yuccaview

and the rest will have to forgive me for not commenting on all of those wonderful pieces

[keiser]

my try - let me know what you think

[Kraellin]

i did a pre-treatment in psp and then ran that over to filter forge and used my 'waxy' filter on it. this was somewhat inspired by lqqker's work above. i then brought it back to psp and merged with my original pre-treatment image.

[Photomaster]

Here are three versions. I did the first two in Painter IX and Photoshop using a variety of brushes and filters. The hair was done in PS with the pencil by sampling various colors. The sketch version was done using Little Ink Pot's "Sketcher" filter in Photoshop.

The possibilities are endless with this gem of a java jar. Just click and expand on the thumbnail. Attached is a very low quality crop.

Welcome to RP, Barbara...

re: Painter tutorials...
Check out the ones under Featured Tips here: http://apps.corel.com/newsletter/pai.../02/index.html

Being able to 'clone' and 'blend' are good skills to get your arms around.

Hope these get you started.

==================

Nice work, Swampy. I like how yours turned out.

[Swampy]

Thanks, Danny...

I remember a couple years ago when I first joined RTP, I was so envious of those who could achieve a soft chalk or watercolor look. My thanks to all those who are so proficient at it and passed hints and tips along. It's been an amazing journey. My blisters and aches have dissapated through the learning process and now I can enjoy the scenery along the way.

This little girl just begs to be artified. She is adorable.
