| | | Re: 3rd try! mostly like what you have done cazzie but i think the edges, around the head particularly, still need to be less 'clumpy'. I've tried to show what I mean by smudging in the framed area with a small brush to give the appearance of hairs......hope this helps.......keep up the good work

| | | Re: 3rd try! Cazzie nice efforts keep it up.
Having seen yours Palms, I had to have a stab at this one.
I'm half expecting Steve to do one, along with some song lyrics - 'How much is that doggy in the window' maybe

Can ask how it was done? | Cazzie it was a smudge, with a bas relief layer faded back a little plus a texture layer.
