Take Your Pick!
Getting started with a charcoal drawing that I scanned in two parts, due to its oversize, and put back together in PS (Photoshop) during the last class. I thought this would be a nice sketch to practice painting over using PainterX, henceforth referred to as PX. I added three new layers, the original was then on the bottom. I wanted it on top and transparent so that I could paint under the drawing so that it remains clean. I wanted the sketch to remain on the bottom as well. I couldn't get a "click and drag" to work so I made a copy of the bottom layer and pasted it into the top layer. I painted using different colors on the two layers below. By varying the on/off of the various layers several different images can result.

Searched notes for a very useful tool; in PS or PX you can press and hold, shift, command, 4

This allow you to take a snapshot of anything on the sceen. A new plus- sign  like cursor appears, guide it like a selection tool to choose a rectangular area, press return key to capture as a picture suitable for loading on the net, like into a blog for instance.

The sketch came from a group life-drawing session with a paid model. My mother would call this pornography, is it? I hope no one is offended. Hi Mom.
