These are my beautiful daughters, Emily and Taylor. Today as the sun was flooding my studio, I felt the need to do a charcoal sketch of them together. But I could not find a suitable picture and getting them to sit still for more than half a second is near impossible. So with some help from my live in computer guru lol, I learned how to cut, shape, blur and re-size to get the kind of image I wanted. Now the background is one that I found on the web and it is blurred and the girl's pics are separate images from when we were up in Columbia (above Sonora) last fall. I was very happy at how it came together. I now feel that I have something I can work with and as an extra treat, a great pic of my girls together with both smiling at the same time for once!

ReplyDeleteVery nice composition.
ReplyDeleteSelecting is one of the more difficult and rewarding Photoshop tools. Good work and lovely girls. I hope I'll meet them today.
