Jazzycat Wrote:libranoelrose - beautiful work! I opened the large one and had a really close look, your attention to detail is meticulous. I loved the finer touches, her pink nails, the blue necklace, the piercings, and all the flowers on the jacket. Very very well done, nicely realistic and sympathetic to the ambience of the photo.

What did you use as a masking/cutting out tool?

Thanks for the great compliments Jazzy!

I wasn't able to click on the 'O' and get the larger version, I used the one that was posted inline.

I didn't use any masking or cutting tools on this one, just a bunch of color layers for different parts of the picture and a whole lot of elbow grease with the pen and tablet. I did use the pen tool to stroke paths in a few places (the frame of the parasol, and the stripes on the scarf on the girl on the right.) Here's a link to the .PSD if anyone is interested.

Edit: Fixed my typo...
