Artist Reply: I'm sure there are those with programs and/or skills in this sort of thing that could have gotten it done with one pass... but I put it through 4 different 'filters' to get it to where I thought "Now THAT looks like a pencil sketch." I did a full series of "WaterColor" images some years ago of our young Heroes serving in the Sand for a service organization I headed up. I'm thinking it might be fun to turn some of my current portfolio favorites into various "paintings" and/or "sketches", just to give folks a bit more variety to choose from (as if 3,000 images wasn't 'choice'... lol!) Thanks for stopping by! Sackett
