Below are my feeble attempts at producing a picture with Bezier curves. Basically all I could acomplish were abstract or "stained glass" looking images. Alas tho not for lack of trying. |
This image produced first by making the simple loops then copying it ~ adding a layer ~ pasting and rotating. Then added a background. Using flood fill for individual loops. Also added a drop shadow to some layers and playing incesantly with the variuos functions in the layer palette |
This being the "Stained Glass" picture. Beginning with a gold for the line color and again adding layers to make mirror images. After creating a blank layer and then using flood fill with a linear gradient (of course after selecting indiviual sections from the "lined" layer I played with colors until I liked the combinations. I then (choosing the "lined layer) used a pool shadow filter to give the lines a golden glow. I also added a twinkle tube to the background for effect. |
For this image I decided it needed more depth so I tried adding an Evanescence Filter from Funhouse. |
To accomplish this picture I started with a photrealistic image of some roses. Then by adding a layer I used the underlying image as a guide for creating the bezier lines above. After creating my roses I deleted the original image. Then added a frame of misc. curves and a background. |
This one was a bonus for myself. I took a picture of my niece holding my baby. Smudged out the background and applied a zoom filter. Then added a layer for the Bezier frame. |
