[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi, all. I've had this idea for a while but have never been able to draw it so i decided the photo route. The lines on my lips are marker. In photo shop I used 3 layers, one to make my lips more vibrant, one to keep the red of my hair, and the third and top on to make black and white. It was my first time really using Adobe PS and had a lot of help from my friend (caverlyen [thanks!!!]). It took me a lot of tries and i am still not completely used to the program but i think i got the general affect. I only cropped it down a little because there were bags under my eyes. Also in Picasa i added a glow on my face to remove any blemishes, freckles and to make my lips stand out more. Please leave feedback! I am very grateful to those who do, I spent a lot of time on this and would love to make it better. Thanks for your critiques!
