Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #29 There was so much bright colour in the last card that I just had to calm it down for this one. I wanted to go monochrome but I'd already done the raccoon in greys, so I went for a more sepia tone instead. And I love how it… Continue reading Sepia star

Girl on a leaf
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #21 Another girl digi — quite an old one — from The East Wind and another attempt at non-Caucasian skin. Once again I started testing with a combo from Sandy Allnock's human rainbow but ended up tweaking the selection to something that seems to work better with the way… Continue reading Girl on a leaf

It's a simple way to add subtle but… Continue reading Cat on hair

It’s a big image and it was easy to get two ATC-sized sections out of it. This first one focuses on the face and only hints at her… Continue reading Bookaholic
