Hi

So please you like it....

I am afraid I am only playing compared to the master of this technique called smudging...

The guy to see is Scott Deardorff and if you google hsi name here you will find many fine examples of his work but also tutorials.

The effect is accomplished by using the smudge brush in photoshop to create painted looks....

However...here are a few links to get you started...any problems...just let me know...here to help.

Best wishes

Ray

Ray,

I love this work. You have made me a fan of the smudge technique even though I have no experience with it.

I feel bad about asking about this but her right eye seems larger than the left eye. I feel certain that this came directly from the photo. Isn't that something that is ok to change in editing?

All the best.

Dan

Thanks Dan

Must admit I left as it was....I guess I could have changed it but that is as it was...

May use some licence and change it.

All the best

Ray
