# Wow! Really top-notch stuff, Miss Lunch.

# Thank you!
I don't have a tablet or fancy programs; that is mouse drawn in a limited edition of Photoshop.

# Please excuse my cynicism:
The pics in your profile don't look mouse-drawn, to my untrained eye they look like photos traced then filtered.
How do you do this?

# Well; most are photo based.
in so far as i use a photo to work from. I'm not ashamed to tell you the source of this one.

i like to think I did enough to make it my own. I'm not pretending to be piccasso.

# Aaah, great, thanks for replying
That source pic is beautiful.

I wasn't trying to catch you out or being snidey, I take great interest in how the talented people here do what they do. :)

# I wouldn't call me talented really
I just have patience. every hair is one pixel wide, mouse drawn, smudged a little then over drawn, smudged again. And so on. the skin is air brush tool, the eyes paintbrush. I must be ******* mad.

# hair
is a pain in the arse. i did this recently for a friend (hence not posting the whole thing, i doubt she'd appreciate that) and gave up even trying to do it properly and used a fake comb brush on gimp instead. i like how it came out.



edit: this *was* virtually a straight trace. a wide range of brushes and shades of grey and all, but still a trace. i'm not in the slightest bit ashamed.

# That's actually far more of a transformation from the original photo that I was expecting. Nicely.

# I'm glad
you see that it was far more than a filter or trace. Thank you.
