Haute head

Here is my original sketch with a bit of color and shading added, prior to scanning.

For my digitally enhanced version  I used a beautiful old paper background courtesy of Kim Klassen, and a vintage postcard to which I added text.  The hat and face I continued painting using the Photoshop Elements brushes, and my trusty little mouse.  This is when a pen tablet would come in really handy!

Well, if you did that with a mouse, who knows what you could accomplish with a tablet! Beautiful addition to our collection of hats this week. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely sketch that turned out even better after the digital enhacing. Kudos!

This is absolutely stunning! I can't believe you did this with a mouse.

Hi Ladies, Thank you so much for your lovely comments. For this piece, I first started with a sketch that I rendered in pencil, graphite, and colored pencils.......then I scanned it, and added more COLOR to the face and hat with the mouse, not the actual features. That was done prior. Glad you all enjoyed.

Oh now, what a stunning hat and what a creative and clever lady you are to create it.

These are just lovely, my favourite though is the first minimalist sketch. Thank you for joining in this week.
