This is a photo, of a Silverback, I took last year at Disney in Orlando...converted to graphic pen, then followed tutorial (p://www.the-graphics-tablet.com/high-key.html, thanks Denise) as best I could...

Paul, I'm very impressed.That's not an easy tutorial to get right. I love the HK BG and the pose w/ the eye contact. I might take a slice off the top and burn just the bright spot on back. Very nice work!!

Hi Paul, nice image.

I would suggest adding a little more canvas to the left side. He's a big critter and if he decides to get up I would want him to have all the room he wanted! :eek: :eek: ;) :D

Otherwise, I would agree with Denise.

Thank You All....Finished product works very well, tooka sliver off top, added canvas left.
tried burning but just didn't look right...cloned in hair instead..

Denise..when I tried to burn the highlight on the back...it came out as a grey/black..I admit, it's a photoshop tool I seldom use, time to learn....what setting's do you use when burning?

First of all -Really nice repost!!

For this you could go with the highlight selection and burn at 3% till you obtain the desired effect. But I usually do a curves adjustment on a layer and then mask in over the lighter areas. But for a quick fix the burn tool or the clone tool at a 28% opacity sometimes does the trick.:)

Really nice Paul, might add a little detail where his arm is resting. Love the eyes and you brought them out very well.
