| I hope this counts as digital art and not just creative photo editing? I do not have a title for it yet.
I had a photo of the moon which i liked, but the craters were not showing up even though they had been visible to the naked eye, so i went i and tinkered with the shadows and such to bring them back out. then I also did not like the tree along the left side, so I experimented with the "retouch" feature--thinking i would just remove it entirely. However, I really liked how the retouch worked an tried moving things and copying things and softening edges. then I noticed I had created what looked like a face--so I tinkered with that, drawing it out and making several others. I then ended up going into another program and using the smudge feature to draw in the hand and add some details to the fairy on it. Finally i used the retouch again to add some highlight on the hand. I might go back in and try to soften the edges on the hand to make it match the rest, but not tonight.
What do you think? |

Something about the hand kept bothering me.I knew i needed to make it more transparent and make it fit the style of the rest of my design, and then it dawned on me that what I needed to do was to transpose a layer with the retouch button like I had with the rest and it would fix the problem. Anyway it is officially done. Hope you like it. I see something new every time I look at it! And I had great fun doing it too. I am including a detail of the final changes I made as well.

Hi Dawna,
Ya, sure been a long time and no comments. I'm not much for digital art, but I do like what you have done. It reminds me of the watercolor illustrations in childrens books back in the 30's and 40's. Very soft and dreamy.
I like the first Angel-Hand better. Just a little more defined. That is just my opinion - doesn't make it right.
I hope the long wait hasn't discourged you - just keep doing what you like. |

Thanks for commenting Bruce! I was getting a little discouraged that no one had commented. I sort of agree on the hand, but i wanted it more transparent and abstracted to match the rest of the piece. I would probably be able to do that and still keep the definition now that i have discovered Paint.net, But this was the best i could do with the tools i had at the time. I did have lots of fun experimenting with this though  |
