Pat, you're not kidding about the addiction. I've got a slamming migraine but just had to work on one (for now). My favorite little bird.

Thank you Issabella. Everyone's work is so beautiful and I really like this tutorial - I learned something about the paths tool, how to make my own line art and the use of BRL.

The outcome as in the tutorial.
Flipped the shadow because the position of the sun. also blurred it a bit, as the sun shines not so bright in the evening

Here I added a dark gradient to match with the evening background, layer mode overlay.

I saved the file, in case anyone has remarks to improve it :smiley2


Thank you for the detailed tutorial oldmangrumpy :tyspin


Dalia, beautiful your hummingbird with tulips :kpix

Thank you for your comment OMG. It means a lot to me.
It was a good tip to experiment with the selection and the layer mode. The gradient gave the outcome an extra dimension.

Issabella and Pat625, thanks for your kind words.
I think I had a bit luck with the choice of the right photo and of course the good tutorial from OMG.

Ella: Love your horses! You were able to get that clear glass look.
Dalia: I love Hummingbirds also. Have a feeder for them when they return north. Your glass ones are perfect!

Dalia - I somehow missed your humming bird first time round and that is a shame, because it is a beautiful interpretation :yes

Pat625 - sometimes addiction is OK when you come up with excellent results; I love your exquisite glass butterfly :clap

Because of the recent revival of this thread, I thought I should try something out that was bugging me; as well as clear glass, I also wanted a result with thicker glass and more texture, but still virtually transparent. So let me know what you think about this slightly different approach with these too wedge tailed eagles -

to me, it looks very nice, OMG!

Post subject:  Re: Clear Glass Brumbies (wild horses) Landscape
Thanks Dalia and Pat.

Pat, I also tried a butterfly but didn’t like the outcome. Yours is beautiful :kpix

OMG, I like the eagle outcome. With the original tut the objects look more fragile.
I think it depends on which item you want to edit to see what the best result is.

OMG: I love those Eagles. Very exact but clear. Did you do them differently?

Thanks Dinasset, Ella Louise and Pat.

Yes Pat there are a number of different steps involved, yet to be finalised and tested more. I also used a coloured image of the eagles and not line art as part of my GMIC learning exercise. I will try out a few more and if they seem to work OK, I will then tell you GC guys just what I did.
