There's a tree on the altar of our church that started out bare at the beginning of Lent and is now blooming. I used Corey Barker's technique to create the sketch effect. Duplicate the photo, then apply Glowing Edges to the top layer. Invert it (CTRL-I), then desaturate it. Use the eraser to "paint" back the color where you want it. I like to use a relatively low opacity tfor a soft pen and watervolor look.
It's so interesting to see the before and after versions of your photos and the descriptions are helpful. I like both versions of this one.
ReplyDeleteIt really looks like a colored sketch - love that effect!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers look great as a sketch!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are lovely, but the first one is a little bit lovlier. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI love the dramatic effect of the black background in the first photo. The details in the plant are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the results you got from this sketch technique! The original is also a great shot of the soft pink flowers against the dark background.
ReplyDeleteLooks great in both photos.
