yeah this is my first blend. & i know it's not the best.
the curved borders are kind of uneven.
& the middle part needs some work.
but .. what do you think? happy.gif

Not bad for a first. I think that the part of her green blouse thingie could be a little more erased from her hand on the left but really, this is impressive for a first. _smile.gif

^^ Oh, I was wondering what you used to blend it.
It's very nice.
Same thing as the person above me says.

Keep it up.

No, no.
I was wondering how you blended it.
There are different ways to do it.

I guess you did the erase blending?

P.S. : Next time, saving the unfinished work could help in fixing stuff.

yeah save as a .psd so you can change stuff around
and I'm not too fond of the 'lighten' blending option you used. screen on low opacity would be better
Its fantastic for a first. seriously <3 you have major skill haha

Here is another way. Hope it helps! ^_^

^I'm guessing its because she
flattened the image> duplicate it> guassian blurred it> then changed the top layer to lighten

xCUR1OUS, I think thats probably why someone said it looks fake. Its not that bad tho. Lighten does give art a somewhat plastic look I guess
