Grainy and gritty Sheila, looks like a solid man. Comes across as someone you could rely and lean on. Can you tell us more about your technique here?

Best, Bill

Hi Bill

I used the "dragan" filter and used a soft brush (black) in Photoshop to paint a diagonal shadow on each side. I have more dragan work here

Hi Shelia,

This is a very striking portrait. I like it a lot. The dragan effect is very interesting. Good luck this week.

I love the effect! It reminds me of the artist mediium, scratchboard. I also think it is lovely that your husband is your obsession. Beautiful. -amy
