You tube tutorial about making a Lace Pattern brush

I found this tutorial very useful and clear. It uses Photoshop to create the brush which is then used in Illustrator. I watched and I learned some new tricks in this part of the tutorial. I definitely need to learn how to use Illustrator to develop my pattern making skills!

Photoshop tutorial from you tube

 

I watched this Photoshop tutorial that shows hot to give a watercolour effect to a portrait. All the black areas have become a watercolour effect. He adds a background texture and some words to it too.

I have tried it myself with a portrait of Audrey Hepburn, very quickly, just to see if I could understand how he uses the mask...this is the result...I didn't add a textured background and text to it...
