| | | Golden Girl. Cool capture for play Peter. Simple flow here. Used Toadies Metalwork set to Overlay (duplicate layer of course) for the bulk of the aniso. I then followed it up with Xero's Supersmooth filter. Here's the full hirez version. Attached is a lower quality reduced size version.  |

| | | Re: Just 4 Palms Peter, thank you for another great photo. Love you sketch.
Blenders in Painter, IMP in Photoshop.
Palms, I don't think I share your passion for hair. Not after manually going through all those curls.

Pavel the hair isnt to bad and helps pass away our awful weather
Couldnt make my mind up about a colour version or a black & white I did try a threshold as i think it would look good but lost patience with it a bit

| | | Re: Just 4 Palms lkroll - that has to be one of your best to date
Pavel - nice work hope the curls didn't cause too much strain on the brush hand
keiser - Looks good, but a little on the small size to see properly
Lonk - can I look over your shoulder next time you do one of these
Palms - Very nice, I prefer the colour one, more detail, I'm a detail freak at times.
Photomaster - as ever excellent, maybe I could watch you at work as well
Steve - what can I say to that, its real smooth man, like it.
You see the curls wern't that bad after all!
