WOW, beautiful work. And now that you are competent at pen and wash, are you participating in the pen/wash contest for January 2008? You would be superb.

What a great picture. Not many of us smokers still alive. I always like to flip the photo and start from there. Rough B&W.

Cutout, Impressionist

Alex, I really like your portrait. The use of cutout and impressionist make for an interesting combination.

This Old Salt has lots of character. Mine was done with the Painter plug-in using two effects, then worked with the color a bit.

Thank you Alan for your comments.
Cutout is my favorite filter.
Another attempt.

Hi and welcome if you go up a couple of threads to OlBaldy's he has the info you need for image posting in his post ( it probably is the hardest thing to do here

byRo, love yours. all the right details. i'd drop the texture just a tad, though. shows through a bit too much. dont want to detract from the incredible image.
