Okay... let's try this again. A little forum software bug to start the new year right = no attachments. I think we're okay now.

This was one of my first attempts of using Photoshop and Corel Painter. I was trying to get a more of painted look using Painter's brush effects that I believe are more convincing than what can be achieved in Photoshop. It was a step closer to a place where I hope to someday arrive.

* Copy/paste the RetouchPRO URL## in a new post -or- upload a new, never been uploaded attachment.
