Never live life in your own shadow. Instead, break free and allow your soul to soar

Under the Hood

A new style and a new learning curve! I have always loved sketches and painterly effects, so I was thrilled when I found some new tutorials showing how to do them from scratch. Here, I used a beautiful photo from the public domain of two horses. Sadly, I have not been able to trace where the original came from and therefore am unable to give credit. With this photo it took several layers to turn the photo into a sketch. Once I had done that and made adjustments to have it just how I wanted it to look, I added the frame, masking out parts I didn’t want. I then masked out the drawing effect from the whole picture, except from within the frame.
