Pic of the Day #664

family_grace-watermelon_001_2.jpg



Since I was having too much fun with ’s Brush tool, I decided to do up another picture in this sort of style, this time using a shot of Grace with her favourite snack in the world: .

This one was slightly more challenging, as I wasn’t working with one just one colour. In fact, I was working with about four colours — red, orange, yellow, and green all had to have their values boosted, which left only the blue/purple shades to be desaturated. It took two passes with the Brush tool to completely de-colourize the rest of the image, and then a fair bit of effort and precision work to leave only the watermelon with colour. Fortunately, the Brush tool allows for “on the fly” adjustments to both the size of the brush and feathering areas of the cursor.
