I did two Photoshop courses with Janee from myjanee.com. One of the ways that she taught to make a photo into a line drawing, made it look like a woodblock print. Fantastic. <BR/>Nice to see printmaking happening here.quirkyartisthttp://quirkyartist.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279173565244640907.post-8057677069360416612008-07-07T02:46:00.000-05:002008-07-07T02:46:00.000-05:00Love your man - tree! Must be complicated to carve this, no? I've bought a carving block and tools but haven't tried yet.kazumiwannabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02314259816204251753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279173565244640907.post-22912776569888729022008-07-06T18:24:00.000-05:002008-07-06T18:24:00.000-05:00Mark, there's another way you can get even better coverage without having to do the fill in trick.<BR/>With your lino print (bw) on the bottom layer, create a 2nd layer and fill it entirely with the dark green. On the layers palette set the green to "darken" It will darken only the white parts and leave the black alone. You can get nice dark blacks on the b/w layer by using the Levels adjustment.<BR/><BR/>But what about the white eyes? Go back to your b/w layer and select only the whites of the eyes. Use the magic wand tool and hold down the shift key to select more than one part at a time.<BR/><BR/>You should have "marching ants" in the shape of the selection of the whites of the eyes.<BR/>To fill them in create a NEW layer on top of the green layer and use the Fill command to fill them with white. Bingo! No more using the fill bucket, which can be time consuming and tricky to get all the white bits. <BR/><BR/>I did this a lot when I did soft block carving- you can see some of them here: <BR/>http://www.karenwinters.com/pages/carving.html<BR/><BR/>Photoshop is great because it gives you multiple ways to do anything. This one worked best for me.<BR/><BR/>KarenKarenhttp://www.karensblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
