Fantastic drawing, though the background seems too blurred compared to viking imo. Reply »

Thanks ladies and gents -

Kid - how do you decide how blurry to make a pic like that - I'm still learning Reply »

Nice. Works well. As for the blurring it's really a judgment call. A little sharper background might be good since the drawing is fairly sharp and he's not that far from the wheel for it to lose focus. Reply »

Love what you have done here and great drawing on the viking! He is an ideal figure for the source image!!!

As for the blur you can create a (sort of) false depth-of-field by duplicating the background layer, blurring it (maybe even a bit more than you already have), then you can add a layer mask and use it to "paint" out the blurred image close to the figure allowing more of the blur to show the further away from it you get. (I hope that makes sense ... let me know if you can't figure out what I am saying and I can try and explain better) Reply »

The blend is excellent here. Very well done. Follow ARCA's suggestions about adding depth to this image, it will help to make an already great image even better! Reply »
