This was a picture I took of some roses I got from a guy on our first date. All I did was use the chalk and charcoal sketch effect. May not be alot of complicated stuff done to it but its pretty all the same to me.
I have to disagree with .gdp88 about the background; it is my favourite part of this picture. This shot has an almost Andy Warhol feel to it, in that it has alot of "machined messiness" - messiness that become central to the artwork because of its connection to the media (ie the ink edges around a stamp, the graininess of an old photo, or in the case of a Warhol, the effects of a slightly botched printing job.) I appreciate your loyalty to the subject and the media.
