Ok, I admit it, this has been slightly retouched!

This is my nephew who is an absolute apple-addict. His mum said one day 'I swear if we cut your head open we'd find apples instead of a brain!'

That was the inspiration for me getting radical with Photoshop, mostly because I wanted to prepare something fun for tuition purposes when I give classes as it used a variety of techniques that I felt would be useful. It is obviously not designed to be serious and I also realise the apple pealer is hanging in mid-air so just use your imagination and believe the invisible man is holding it up.

He now has it poster size on his wall at university and I keep getting requests for more copies so I think he liked it! Hey, if he's flogging them, I should be up for some commission

Cheers,
Rob :o)

Only in my Gallery if you have looked there. I put it here to get some feedback as very few ever seem to make comments in the gallery, sadly. I assume it is ok to have in gallery and in this thread? If not I apologise and will remove it.

Cheers,
Rob

It was a bit time-consuming Skip but that is partly because I was trying to include a variety of techniques so that I could use it when doing tuition courses with people. There is a lot of cloning and blending to give the 'skin' a sense of it blending with the apple skin. All in all, at it's largest point, I seem to remember it had something like 30 layers.

Just a bit of fun really but it kept me out of mischief for a few hours!
