This is really cool but I'd love to know how you did all these effects. Can you please write how you did all this as part of your SBS? The pictures alone don't really tell anyone else how to do this.

This could have been done without using the source image...

try cut out the stonelines so they arent "painted" over that makes it look more realistic also the edge of the drawing.. make it look like its a real chalk line n not so straight or do what the chalker did in the source.. use tape...

Would have nice to see a high res... Anyways nice work... Although the glass outside the frame is supposed to be transperent right... However I can't really make it out in the small res...

nicely done.i feel u could have removed tht outter blue frame.

I like the slight variation in hue and brightness on each. Good job!

Hehe, nice.

Interesting idea - but you might want to refine your stars a little? [if they are stars?] GL

hmm.interesting.the flag looks so plaain when the background is tht interesting

Unusual and cool use of source.

you could have just used smoke instead of ink. lol

love the idea.good job

thanks Nehayash

It looks like your overused the sharpen tool as some of the hand has pixels sticking out, particularly the bottom edges of the lower three fingers and the background around the first finger and thumb. Maybe some smudging and blurring could fix that. Otherwise this image is fantastic.

Hi Visba - thanks for the heads up - No sharpening of the hand took place - It was the chop for the shadow that messed up the result. I think you wont see much now. Take into account the photograph is of an aged hand and the skin texture is not smooth like a young persons.
