Airbrushed space!
      #2040789 - 12/10/07 06:42 AM Attachment (77 downloads)

I found the airbrush tool on photoshop, so I thought I would have a bit of a play around with it and see what it could do. The first two pics are about 1/2 hour each of work. The Third is 1 hour. THe last I did tonight took me 3 hours.

This thing it HEAPS of fun!!! Found something to do with my cloudy nights!!

They are indeed beautifully done, Barry.

I will move this thread to a better suited forum (Astro Art) as this forum (sketching forum) is for observation sketches and techniques on how to sketch at the eyepiece/recording your observations.

Keep up the great work!
