Made this one recently whilst practicing brushing techniques ~



Only 1024x768 size, but you could resample it if you wanted something different... couldn't find anywhere to upload it here Rich, so  ~  http://www.mickeblue.co.uk/Haze.zip

Cool wall!  Make it with a tablet?  The coloration is very calming.


This forum software will permit you to show images from another site, or alternatively, upload a file to store as an attachment to a message.  Unfortunately, it does not provide a thumbnail of a graphic upload for the rest of us to preview it.  I'll look into plugins to accomplish this.

To attach an attachment in a message, click the "Additional Options" link at the bottom of the New Message dialog (below the smileys and the text-entry box.  There will be a BROWSE button for you to attach a file.  Note: you won't see this if using the "Quick Reply" option.

EDIT:
If you upload an image, the forum software MAY create a thumbnail image, depending on file-type.  I still haven't tested this yet.

OK, thanks Rich... sussed...  but you know me Mate, always looking for the easy option 

No my pad software conflicts with every mouse I can find ( I have a cupboard full of unwanted meeses now ), so I was using a mouse [ whoever said it was like drawing with a bar of soap was spot on! ].
What I did was create selections and spot colour into those areas, then used the smudge and blur tools to try to achieve the effect of muscle and depth... dunno, but I was quite pleased with the overall effect.

I must say I'm really impressed.  It's an emotive piece and the fact you made it by mouse is amazing to me   Do you do work in traditional media as well?  (Paint, pastel, color-pencil, oil-color, etc?)

Wow, it is amazing that you made that with a mouse! Props.

Thank you for the nice comments guys 

I haven't painted for years Rich... neither has Bella who is a superb water colourist, but yes, I used to dabble with a brush ( I've also done a bit of signwriting in the past ).

If i was you micke, i would make a like vector painting where the colors meet....it will be so perfect!!

Nice work for a back to painting though !!!
