Goonfella Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks Helen. Maybe your`re right. Looking back at the pic I think possibly the pieces of the puzzle could be thicker. But then it would fly like a brick,not a UFO! Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Just made a strawberry wip. Havn`t finished yet. Still needs something. Any suggestions?

HELEN Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 First of all, the strawberry is amazing. Second, you just need a few more shadows like at the bottom of the strawberry and a little in the middle. Third, you need a little more highlights just below the leaves. I can't wait to see it finished, Goonfella! 8) Quote Don't spit into the well, you might drink from it later. -----Yiddish ProverbGlossy Galaxy Ball---How to Make FoliageMy Gallery PDN Fans--My DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goonfella Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks for all your suggestions. Helen - I do think it looks a bit `flat' and needs some shadows/highlights to bring it out. Never thought of the shadows on the leaves though - thanks. LFC - as it a wip I havn`t polished off the edges yet but thanks for mentioning it anyway, although it doesn`t seem too bad. Welshblue - I got the shape of the strawberry from the tut I was following. Looking at some photos of the real thing shows that it is a bit too round.Never mind, it`ll do for now. BTW, before anyone asks for the link to the tut ,for some reason it is no longer there. I got redirected to another webpage where it was supposed to have been moved to but it was not there either :? It`s called Drawing a Melting Strawberry in Photoshop. Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Added a few shades and the the shadows on the leaves really make a difference. Good call Helen :wink: Also I used a bit of Powerstretch to change the shape. I think it looks much better now.What d`you think Welshy? Tried to get rid of jaggies but on the laptop it looks fine. It`s only on the web you notice it ( on Photobucket and here).Any ideas to get rid of `em?

oma Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 real nice strawberry. yummmy goonfella if you used the cached link it shows for now http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:bL6 ... cd=1&gl=ca what did you use for the pillow emboss step ?

007 Nab Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Very nice strawberry Goonfella! - excellent job on the shading, though like you mentioned it could use some work on the edges.

Goonfella Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yes . I`ve tried Feather on both normal and true Feather settings, radial blur but that was definitely no good. I then tried drawing another line around the edges and slightly blurring that but still no luck. If I can`t sort it I`ll have to start again from scratch. But the thought of having to make all those pips again -aaargh please no!

007 Nab Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hehe, you've gotta do what you've got to do I guess... I can't think of any other alternative. Anyway - the edges aren't too bad - I think the strawberry itself is what people look at anyway, so you've done an excellent job. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

HELEN Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I agree. An excellent piece finished once again. I like the way it came out. I can even taste it.

Goonfella Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thanks Welshblue. I `ve had another go, this time instead of flattening and then feathering, I feathered the relevant layers first before I flattened, even the shadow on the bottom right which is still there but a bit more subtle. I think it worked a treat and this is definitely the final straw Thanks to everyone for all your helpful comments :wink: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boude Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 looks like feather didn't work quite as well as expected, tip:gaussian blur plus 1 or 2 with only alpha channel.

Goonfella Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yeh, I think the left hand side is the worst. It does look better than before though. I`ll give the blur on alpha a go.

Boude Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 it would have been best to blur alpha instead of feather. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Do you have Gaussian Blur +? I don`t have the option to blur alpha only in mine or is it another plug in?

Boude Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 yes gaussian blur +, bolbait made it. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 I can see I`m going to have to get it. I`ve already got Boltbait`s pack so I just need to copy it across.

Goonfella Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 OK how about this then. With the use of Gaussian+ red and alpha filter- This must be the best so far. Also, when I do decide to make a fruity pic with all of them I will downsize the strawberry so it will look even smoother.
