well...

it's based off of the photo....
I've been playing with digital painting in PS. Unfortunately I'm stuck using a mouse and only working during my free time at work.

Regardless, this is very impressive -- especially using a mouse. Well done.

Baby in Blanket

I normally don't mess with any of the Artistic Filters. But, since that is what is called for here I complied.

First, I blurred the image to reduce some of the noise on the original.
Overlayed a blue tint to the entire image.
Used the dry brush effect (for the first time, mind you).
Played with Render->Lighting Effects to bring a bit of emotion into the image.

Enjoyed playing with things I don't normally.

I like your rendition. The softness of the tone is soothing!

Am I too late?

Did this a while ago when first learning and saw the post here so decided to add my version too. I know, I could do better with the eye by the blanket. Sorry!

Carrie, a wonderful effort, the colours are perfect. There's no "time" limit imposed here so enjoy. We all like to see old threads re-emerge also.

You're sure getting a knack for adding colors to highlights and shadows. Jeremy would be pleased!
