    Default Sunflowers

    Sunflowers with a DAP and Fractalius combo. I used the "Starry" setting in DAP and my "sunflower" preset in Fractalius. Blended them together and added some lighting. I liked the sloppy look to the brushstrokes but would like to hear what you guys think, thanks

    Denise, I love it! I love the big loose brush strokes. Very Van Gogh-ish

    Denise, Faaaabulous! This looks pretty grungy to me. Brush strokes are very cool. Almost a liquid look to it. The overall feel is huge fun. I like the group of flowers and the layers of stalks, flowers and sky all work so nice together.
    Just a personal preference item, I might lighten up the dark spots in the flowers to maintain that soft or pastel color look. Did I say I thought this was FAB! Way OOTB!!!!! Best sunflower presentation yet.....IMHO

    As second thought, as you were on my suggestion! There is a balance of darker areas in the stalks that seems to work as is just fine as is.
