Photo Manipulation - Little Cherub...

We've taken to calling our youngest daughter our "little cherub" She has ash blond hair that curls at the ends, and it is at just the right length that most cherubs are painted to have. She also, just seems to have the look of a cherub, especially when her cheeks are blushed.

I've been teaching myself a lot of Photoshop techniques, so I decided to pose my little angel and take a photo of her. It was tough getting just the right pose and lighting, but when I finally did (with her kneeling on our washing machine) the photo was terribly blurry. Still, I decided to work with it since getting the photo "perfect" was proving to be a challenge.

And work with it, I did...

Here is a comparison of the original photo beside the photoshopped cherub...


And here is the photoshopped version on its own...

Happy Valentine's Day!




Hope you all enjoy your holiday! I wish I had a special V-Day sale for you, but it's a little late for that. No one would get their gifts in time to give away!

So, instead, I'd like to extend my $5 print sale. Order a 5x7 print of any of my existing work (like the illustration, "First Crush", above) for only $5 a piece! This includes shipping!

With the looong and miserable winter some of us have been enduring, I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to spring. I'm planning on having a spring sale as well, and maybe a couple of contests for free prints.

The above illustration has been added to my online portfolio. Thanks for visiting!Ads by Yahoo!
