I thought this one would be good to experiment on.

Original Here from SXC

I've tried a smudge and a sketch (again)

Your turn.

These look great! The smudge is especially striking.

I do believe you can smudge in Painter, here is a pdf for painter by Fay Sirkus with a similar look

Peter....ANOTHER great 'find' , great smudge and a 'richard ramsay sketch plus' to follow.

Palms...love the smudge

Danny about time you were divulging the secrets of the sketching method or is it a 'Pay for Tutorial.

Had a go at painting her.... but lost something of the likeness along the way, but good practise nonetheless

Thanks all.
Gilbert if you meant my sketch, it's not a Richard Ramsay sketch, It was all my own stuff, check out my other posts for details.

Nice stuff all.

Peter.....I realise it's not an 'R Ramsey method of sketching'...thats why I added the 'plus'....I thought it resembled that style......& and a bit more......and I think its great

Richard illustrates his method on a DVD he sells.

I'm waiting for him to e-mail me a couple example images he's done. When I get them I'll include them as part of the 'waiting in the wings' review.

Great picture and artwork by everyone.
I tried to retouch the beautiful girl. I know I'm not involved in the proposed topic and I wait some stones from you

Had another go at the pretty lady in Impressionist (Pencil: crosshatch) trying a different brush + some other stuff

[lkroll]

Very nice find Peter. Was going to do a Les Miserables look, but stopped at this result.

[bananabone]

Good one

[Kraellin]

nice one, bananabone

[Kraellin]

i had another go at this one with another modded filter forge filter. this one i modded to simulate a soft pencil, kind of smudgy, sketch.

[zacker]

wow... all of these are great!!

Great photo to try out, thanks. Enhanced and cleaned up, then used it for the paint effect version. I like the way the eyes came out, but lost a little around the lips.
