Final Sketches!

I used Adobe Photoshop Elements10 to edit my sketches!

1st Piece

Original piece

I adjusted it to 16 by 20 (size)

I chose Red color to highlight the lanterns and the diyas.

Brush size:8

This is how it looks like, when it's highlighted. Linear Dodge was chosen to give a striking look.

Then, i went to portrait and chose details. i detailed my piece and it gave a detailed look without any noise.

As for the background, i used a yellowish brown color.

 Later i went to filter and chose ink outline (brush strokes). Finally the texture i chose is craquelure.

Final Result!

My Second Piece

This is combination between a shamisen and a veenai. Both are musical instrument which gives the same sound but different in shape. I used the same techniques i used for my previous painting. the only difference is the texture. The texture used is Sumi-e.

This is a combination between a Indian kolam and Yin & Yang. Same technique used here but texture is different. Technique used here is Mezzotint.

Hope you guys liked it!  :)
