Here's my first attempt at using the mixer brush feature in PS5. Just as with the water paints in kindergarten excessive mixing produced some mud. Next time I plan to begin with an excessively bright and contrasty original and exercise some additional self-restraint.
C&C welcome. I'll post the original for reference.
George, You did a great job. The new mixer brush feature is not easy to use IMO. I like the fanned brush tip and might use it to soften some of the brush strokes. Beautiful original filled w/ detail.
Nicely done! I haven't tried the new brushes yet but you're inspiring me to give it a go. I really like what it did to the texture of the wings and the BG is also very nice.
As for the bird, maybe lightening up the underside of the head a bit and adding a catch light to the eye would brighten him up a bit more. I love the overall image - just would like to see that head a little bit more.
