Re: Creative Portraits - Short and not curly

I did this one and then could never find the thread so I could post it. LOL Finally stumbled upon it again once I had given up.

I prob should go back and blend in the edges ...

Re: Creative Portraits - Short and not curly

thanks, moonchild

i like yours, too. reminds me that old, lost photo of the once true love. very nice!

yes, peter, no filter forge on that one. for two years i've been using filter forge and my other plugins have been protesting. and thanks

oltenius, an interesting rendition. the emotion has changed ever so slightly.

Re: Creative Portraits - Short and not curly

Thanks Craig

Oltenius, I agree with Craig ... I really like how the emotion changed. I am still amazed at how much the mood can change with even small differences.

Re: Creative Portraits - Short and not curly

I have two DVDs describing what I do. The second has to do entirely with the problem of how to get portraits to look more painterly. You can check it out here.

Re: Creative Portraits - Short and not curly

Thank you...the passion before I started back on painter was portrait sketches. I still sell a lot of those.
