One with an "Aaahh factor"
« on: Monday 08 October 07 14:28 BST (UK) »
As in aaahh isn't she pretty (well I think so  ;D )

I'm not sure if I've posted this one before or not but if I have, then I've either forgotten to download the pics or they are buried in some unknown sub folder in the bowels of my hard drive as I can't find them...then again maybe I haven't posted it before  ::) ::) ::)

Hi Tracy

Thanks so much for the sepia version it's beautiful.  8) 8)  Your colouring also is very good for a beginner and the best thing to do is practice on as many pics as you can.  Just a tip (not a criticisim), but try varying the opacity of the colours just to remove some of the vibrancy (bearing in mind that a certain amount will be lost upon downloading anyway).  By doing this you will achieve colours more reminisent of the era.  (BTW  the skintone looks terrific  :-*)


Hiya Smurf

You are a pal, brilliant job....excelled yourself, I love it to bits!! 8) 8)

Oh we've crossed posts!  Just seen yours Lones, there is only one word to describe your work and that is superb.  Each and every colouring you do is of the highest calibre that I doubt even a so called "professional" could better!!  :-* :-* :-*

I do have more, but being a brainless twit, didn't think to bring them to work so I could post them so will have to wait until tonight.

Just have to say again that I really appreciate the trouble everyone is going too, in order to help me out before my trip and the amazing goodwill of everyone on rootschat is so touching....the world leaders could take a few tips from the folks on the site!!!!
