Daylily Color Sketch

[Christopher Miller]

I've done a lot of drawing with colored pencils, and I liked how I was able to recreate that look on this image. I used the colored pencil and rough pastel filters and then boosted the color saturation. I also added a light vignette and a very soft blur overlay.

Any comments and suggestions would be most appreciated.

Christopher, this really does look like a colored pencil sketch - great use of filters:) I like the extra color saturation and the hint of vignette. The filters created a lot of texture which I goes well with the image.

Christopher, I hope you don't mind I added a touch of contrast to just the center area to define it a bit more. I didn't want to apply it to the entire image because the soft feel is what I think you were after. I like the colors and the composition very much. Nicely done.

I love the effects here, Christopher. It really does look like a color pencil sketch, and it's a great composition. I do like the contrast boost offered by Denise.

I love this composition, Christopher. Very nice pencil like texture. Contrast boost does help.

Christopher, very lovely treatment and superb composition, as always! I like the color sketch look you achieved. Personally, I don't think the dark vignette adds anything to the image, but as you know, that's just me. :) I would love to see the radial lines continue with full brightness, as I feel that vignetting is something a camera does as opposed to something a sketching artist would do.
