Gee whiz Roz, if this is what you consider a hurried process.... I really like what you achieved here, it looks like a sketch on parchment paper. Thanks for the processing steps.
Roz, this is superb! It's a sketch, an illustration, it's simply marvelous. This is what creative digital imaging is about. A lot of PP involved here, you are truly an artist.
I have absolutely no idea how to replicate what you said you did, but I do appreciate you putting it in there. Maybe someday I'll get to the point where I can figure this out! Very fun picture and amazing edit!
Nice, Roz!! The pencil sketch thing is really amazing - along with everything else, of course. Love that look - and the scene you captured, as well. OX
Ohmygosh! This is so amazing. So Roz-esque! I am excited to get daily glimpses of your brilliance in this side challenge -- even tho I will miss so many days being on vacation :( Well, I mean :) I need the break, but I hope I don't miss too much and can catch up when I get back.
I LOVE the way you did this. What an inspiration you are!
Ah man, this is suh-weet!! Awesome processing, this ain't no canned filter hastily applied, more a handmade work of art I'd say :-) I love that both the man and the dog (sasha?) are smiling, so relaxed, a perfect moment captured.
Your "expert"ise certainly shines through roz! Love how this looks like a charcoal drawing, complete with nicely placed smudges. Even the color of the background mimicks the textured paper used for these drawings.
