I was having trouble with the fluffy ear edges, but with a few tutorials this morning the lights came on and I nailed a few mask concepts and this time I was able to keep Angels ears in all their glory and yet get the texture applied how I wanted.
I love learning new stuff!
High Five. That is such a hard mask technique to master...I have never got that down. Love the photo...the background, the comp, the profile. Beautiful.
Awesome job on masking!!! Love the way tones and textures look. I'm starting some basics into masking. I know some things but not some of these skills. Seeing the results in your awesome photo gave me some good encouragement!
This is brilliant Katrina, awesome textures and layering! It looks like a stunning painting behind her. You sure get a prize for creativity and perseverance here :-)
