Thanks, where there is art, there is lkroll

or lylejk. lol

This is the only forum where I use my original handle that I actually used in college. I wish I could change it to lylejk, but that would make me loose my Senior status. lol

OB, thanks for the pic.

There's a wealth of great stuff here.

Vitaly, you continue to amaze me. I used your tute yet again. I'm curious, like sponge03, about what role Vivacity plays in your workflow. What does it do that I can't do with Topaz Adjust, Detail, and Simplify (all of which I use regularly)?

Such a great face - wonderful choice, OB!

A bit of AHB.

Thank you Tennie

Imagine my surprise when I checked this thread and discovered that I'd somehow failed to upload the attachment to my earlier post. Silly me.

As previously noted, it's an AHB watercolor following Vitaly's tute, mostly.

Thanks

I use Topaz Vivacity to simplify the image sometimes before and after the AHB, after AHB sharpen edges. It allows you to get away from photographic.
I do not like Topaz simplify, it reduces colors. I use it for sketch.
