Pump House Sketch

[bairam]

Took some photos the other day of an old derelick pump house.
Thought I'd play around with it using my scanner software. First I'll show the original photo, then what I did with it.

Great strides in two tries! I really like this one, Maria. I like rough sketches, and you did a fine job with this one.

I'm glad to see you got "BRAVE"!

Good work.

;)

Great stuff Maria - there will be no stopping you now!

... and, I got a closer view of that pump house too.

Thanks Ron and Alan. I can see by this example that I need to work more with the clone tool and crayon to get rid of the wires.
I'll try the spray gun next time.

Maria! It's WONDERFUL!!!
I really like the effect you gave the pump house. Could you put the origianl photo of the enlarged pumphouse in the Ref Library? You gave some ideas I'd dearly LOVE to try out.

:clap: ~ FANTASTIC!!! ~ :clap:

Very well done, Maria. I can almost see the pencil in your hand.

This is a great example of how you can take a detail from a good photo and through manipulation generate a much larger artistic version of that detail. Well done, Maria!
