Equal Time

Looks like you drew this with a pencil. Another fabulous use of that technique! Great work, Kim!!

Very nice portrait. I'm sure the parents really like this one. I notice that the most visually arresting elements are the dark stripes on the hat and shirt. You might consider lightening those slightly to give the face more of a chance of being the center of attention.

Nah, I say the eyes are the attention grabber. Nice work, Kim.

Thanks, everyone. Jamie, I feel like the eyes are the main draw, too, with the stripes providing balance. Of course, since I am somewhat biased, my opinion may not count! :)

Used an effect described by Roger Keagle. I really like this effect

to turn photos into sketchings. They look good printed out. Comments

welcome.

Very beautiful and I luv the PS work you have done.

Julius, I emailed you the technique. Wilson, it does look similar to what Howard does with his high-key images (and I always liked those).

Excellent High-key work made even better by an excellent photograph. I'm impressed. Can you upload the original color image?

Here you go, Howard - the original. Roger Keagle posted instructions how to do this and I've done about 6 so far. It's easy and looks really great printed and matted. I had a picture of a friend's friend from a wedding I shot and I did this effect on that shot and gave it to our friend yesterday. He asked for two more - one for his friend and one for the friend's mother!

 

 

As I thought, the original image was also really good and stands on its own without manipulation. Thanks for posting.

 

BTW: Can you send me a link to Roger's technique?

Howard, I emailed it to you...have fun!

Hi Kim, Love the technique, very pretty picture. I would love to try this. Could you email me the Know how. Thanks, Gerry.

Gerry, I sent it your way - check your email.

Thank you so much for sharing the technique. I tried the technique on

this.

 

No problem - thanks to Roger for sharing it in the first place. Best way to learn!

Compared to the original your PS work has emphasised the face more and given the whole thing a delicacy which goes with the age of the child. Very effective!

You're right, Colin - I think the bright red takes something away from the face.

Kim,very good portrait.Kindly mail me Roger's technique,if you please.

Will do, AK...

Don't ask ME to email it....he he.

 

I was happy Roger posted it on the picture he did. I'm sure you will see a bunch more shots using this technique as everybody tries it. They all come out different, though.

Thank you for taking the effort to spread the news...watch my space, (and your's for that matter) for more developments......

You've created several monsters, Roger, but good ones! Thanks for sharing!!!

Sharing and learning new things...monsters is right ! Tried this on a pic of Linda, you have to be careful of confusing backgrounds...!

Yeah, I've tried a couple that were NOT successful, but yet some work really well.
