Re: Sad Girl

Re: Sad Girl

After adding contrast, I smudged it and just added a canvas texture. Who knew this stuff could be so much fun!!!

Re: Sad Girl

Craig although your four are nice ones the one on it's own is great love the effect

Andy the grunge effect looks good with very striking eyes

Ol Baldy fantastic great effect i think you have given Peter a run for his money with the action
