pixelate > pointillize, gaussian blur, motion blur

In this Frazetta crop, I tried to come up with a way of synthesizing that grain texture he did.  Kinda didn't get it -- at all -- but using this effect on a layer set to "Exlusion" yieled this.

New Lines

Lena astutely pointed out that I was creating "new lines" or unwanted edges into my stuff, and showed how gradients could fix this.  I have to make sure that sharpness I add into my paintings serves a purpose (changing plane, etc.) and isn't just there for its own sake.

Pencil Test

Painting under lines hasn't been working out for me -- was always getting away from the spirit of the drawing -- so I decided what I needed was something halfway between lines and shadow data.  By working under/over/within this "pattern mask" (i.e. the darkest darks) and keeping the original drawing nearby for comparison, I came up with this.
