Hey Duck,

Something for you to check out. [...]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Of course I have more questions! Others may too. Is the brush you use one that comes with PS, is obtained elsewhere, or one you made? In this example it is a brush I got... somewhere. (?) I picked it up with a tutorial somewhere, just can't remember where. Regardless, it was okay for the test but n...

Question: Do you use a pen tablet? What kind of brush are you using on this one? I ask because I'm trying to learn to use these tools to get a painterly look with certain images. I'd like to know more about your technique. To answer your questions, yes, I currently use a Wacom tablet but looking to...

Wow, the responses are fantastic and bringing up some really great and valid points. I, like many here, have a background in traditional art.

The one thing I hate about most actions is that the process is too animated and the "brushwork" looks fake. Either because of scale in relation to the image or direction in relation to elements wi...

Sorry Duck....ment no harm...easily seen the way you see it. Thought it a bit dark also after I was done but was just trying to stir some of minniev's brain cells for her bubble wrap 52. and here's the original which I think I've posted before just to cheer you back up..........sincere apologies ! ...

Oh, no, no, no... This just creeped me out in a way you can't believe. All I see is an infant taken too soon, and not in a natural way. The bubble wrap just yells suffocation. Sorry, but this sends my thoughts into morbid places. If the objective is to emote a strong response, you've succeeded. To m...
