Eagle's head

[Guest]

This eagle came with PS7 in its "samples" folder. It's a nice close up that might lend itself to a lot of different art treatments.

Here I used the painting technique I described in a recent tutorial called "Fake Painting with Photoshop," located in the photo art forum.

For the blotches in step 2 I used the cutout filter. Later, on the bottom layer (the one without the mask) I used a large multi-colored "confetti" brush set to color mode to add more colors to the feathers and background. (See the steps to make sense of this.)

I'm having so much fun in Painter that I don't care that I have to put down every stroke.

Here I just used Painter as tracing paper and used a combination of pencil and marker and pastel drawing tools on a green gradient.

Phyllis, that's a great watercolor.
Steve, how did you manage to turn the eagles head?

Glowing edges, sharpen edges, desaturate to greyscale, flatten and apply a gradient map.

The June 09 challenge inspired me to try a feather cut-out, an easier one though.
