Re: Creative portraits: Just 4 Palms - More curly

I sort of goaded Palms into doing a smudge of this one, and a good job of it was done. So I had to try in myself (better late than never).
Its a little rough, but I think I'm getting there a little.
Thanks Palms, I know now what you went through with this one.

Nice one Peter, great work on the face and hair, looking back on mine i dont think it was a smudge, as such but c springers illustrated look ( which involves some smudging ) might have to have another go soon )

Re: Creative portraits: Just 4 Palms - More curly

I always liked this one...

I started with Mike Warren's Illustration Action, then applied some Impressionist plugin effects and ePaperpress.com actions for the borders.

Re: Creative portraits: Just 4 Palms - More curly

Palms, I like the color, the rich colors are so pretty.

I did a watercolor,
3 layers in Photoshop with different presets form a Filter Forge filter I'm working on, just masked out what I didn't want.
