First Try At Sketch

[TwilightMyst]

Not sure if I did this correct
or not and may need to try again...

I used Anita's instructions for the sketch,
so many thanks to you...

I think you did a beautiful job. I love the sketch effect and your turned out great.

Hi Twilight Myst! Your sketch is really nice and so is the original picture. You know another technique which would be good with that one is the Orton effect. Here (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22443&highlight=orton+effect) is a link to the Creative Homework thread where the instructions were given in case you like to play...

[TwilightMyst]

Thank you Nancy and Julie!!
I just tried a quick Orton effect,
so am heading that way...
Thank you both!!

I think it looks good. Orton is addictive - try it out on a few more photographs. You'll soon see which ones it works best on. By the way, have you started a gallery here yet? Looks like you will have a lot to share with us!

That is excellent ... I love the look of it :)

Thanks again Julia, and
thanks for suggesting the orton effect!
Even though I'm not too sure of the steps,
I got a bit of a feel to it...
I'm not sure how the gallery works,
and have not begun one as of yet...

Thanks so kindly Wendy for such
a nice comment. The instructions I
was looking for were by you, but posted
by someone else and I couldn't find
the thread again but thought it looked
a bit similar to the 'Tain Depot'...
But I will keep looking!!

Nice job, but watch out - it can become addictive!

I think it looks great. Don't you love it when you set out to do something and it turns out!

You did a great job on that, Twilight Myst. I love the original as well.
