Palms

Great find Palms. Haven't tried a pencil effect on a portrait before. Here's my try. I did give him his eye color back.

[lkroll]

Sort of looks like Van Gogh with a cowboy hat (before he cut his ear off).

[lkroll]

What the hey; easy to repackage my original into this litho. Just wish I had a good wanted template.

Didn't feel like painting, but thought this image would lend itself for a blending play :-) Scuse me

Excellent; thanks Skip.

edit: just tried to download it and it said it was unavailable; might also be because you have to be a member. Not sure what the issue is. Oh well. Might try it later.

Lyle, I signed in there and it is still unavailable. Must have been taken down by the author? perpetrator? hm, designer!

[Tennie]

Thanks, Palms.
Did a drawing/painting blend and then blended with a colored texture layer.

Just some subtle changes to an already great photo... Nice find Palms, Thanks for the play!

[palms]

Skip the pencil works well on a portrait

Lyle I like both of yours but the coloured one for me wins (with all ears intact)

Amica nice blending and the enhancement of the eyes works well ( i was thinking of changing the colour )

Tennie that works well

Joe nice painting i too think this thread could be popular

Nice Ol Baldy again the eye enhancement works very well

Palms - great find !! Wonderful portrait to begin with of an attractive man and a cowboy to boot (Yippee!).

The versions already done are so good!! Really great to look at.

Did an edges mask to sharpen him, then did a B/W and a tint.

[Peter S]

Howdy folks sure is some good stuff here.

[CJ Swartz]

A hint of the bad guy...

[lkroll]

Just a little Halloween Humor.

[palms]

great ones C.J. especially the hint of bad guy
Peter the colour really suits the sketch of this one
and Lyle great humour

love all the versions so far, maybe it will convince some of our male members to post a portrait of them ?

[Nasturtium]

Alcar - that is so cool
