On the beach at midnight

OK, so it wasn't midnight...more like 3 in the afternoon. What do you think?

It looks like one of those drawings we made as kids in school.
First you coloured the paper with all available wax crayons, then you'd go over it with black.
To make the drawing, we used a toothpick or so.

I'd really like to see that simplified even further and in black and white (not greys, just black and white). Basically removing as many lines as possible until it's just the essentials.

Like that?

Seriously nice work - from a great starting composition, of course!

Nice. Really nice.

[Gruffy]

The lines, angles and composition of the original is an easy canvas to work on - I only emphasised it's strengths by pruning away that which was unecessary. It's just a quick example, so it can still be improved upon.

What editing software have you got Greg?

First image I daresay was just a click on the Glowing edges filter in Photoshop...and voila

PS CS.

Is it just messing about with the filters screen?

Need to have a goods old play with it all really, and maybe even have a read of my Kelby book, which is gathering dust!

ok can someone please tell my why the heck all my pics are coming out so small now!! I have used photobucket for ages and I always resize to 750 px wide in Pshop then upload to Pbucket and post. Now all the pics on pbucket are coming inat 200odd px. Why would it reduce the size so much?


Thanks G

[Gruffy]

All PS CS too. Cloning, Masking and Adjustment Layers.

It might have something to do with file size...the bigger the file, the smaller the image....maybe

[Mr Noble]

Right, the first time I uploaded it was 850kb and then I noticed that it says any file over 512kb would get resized, so I resaved it at 750px and jpg'ed it to 350kb and reloaded it, now its the same size on here and the resolution has got 10 times worse!!


What other hosts are their I could use. Would this new pixum one work the same way?

Or do what I did...but your own .com!

I do own www.gn1.co.uk but only use it as an e-mail address. I have it hosted with churchuk and pay £40 every 2 years I think.

How easy is it to make my own site?

[Gruffy]

You don't actually need a site to host your files there.
