I like it also. I have been trying to emulate this look for a while now, and it reminds me of being a kid, reading National Geographic, or other magazines that images with the colored pencil look(or whatever it was).

My try.

The camera sees things as they are. Photoshop makes them appear as we'd like them to be.

Just a variation of the last one I did, with an added look of not being finished, name, and a little name information.

Yyrkoon,

I really liked the direction you took on this one...so much so that I borrowed a page from your playbook and reworked the image I did. I decided to keep mine a bit softer.

I rarely use filters in my post processing, but I liberally used the smudge tool on top of tone mapping the image, followed by using a modified Orton technique then I adjusted the levels until I liked it.

Thanks for the kind words. I still have not completed my look yet, not sure what I am missing, but this process I have been trying to 'master' still lacks something that I cannot quite put my finger on. It does not convince me that it was initially hand drawn, and then painted in. Hopefully I figure it out eventually.

Thanks to all at dpreview for taking the time to help and work on this image.....you are all very kind....much appreciated

Best wishes

Hi Diane,

Up to now she likes Zoran's and Ykroon's but has been quite bewildered by all the attention....

She has enjoyed looking at each one although she dopes not realise the work everyone has put into each image....

I am still keeping my fingers crossed that Scott may se this and have a try.......would love to see what he would do....

Best wishes

Ray

She's still a cutie, Ray!
