spirithorse Posted November 15, 2020 Report Posted November 15, 2020 Hi, Dan, I tried working on this photo and the shadows on the eyes just leave two black holes there and I am not artistic enough to draw in realistic eyes from the photo. If you have another photo, I will gladly try again. Until then, maybe some of the other pattern makers will have better luck than I have. God Bless! Spirithorse Quote

Spirithorse Hi spirithorse, thank you very much for trying I really appreciate it,I wondered if the shadows might be an issue,I will see if anyone has any other photos but this is the one my grandma and my mum really like of him so was hoping to use this one,thank you again for trying I really appreciate you taking the time to work on it. take care Dan Quote
spirithorse Posted November 16, 2020 Report Posted November 16, 2020 You are welcome for the effort and I will probably go back and try again. I can see why they like this photo. He's a handsome gentleman and that is a nice photo. God Bless! Spirithorse Danj84 1 Quote

spirithorse Posted December 15, 2020 Report Posted December 15, 2020 Hi, Dan, Just to let you know I did not forget about you but, when I try to alter the image/photo to get a good starting point to make a pattern it comes out like this. This is NOT a pattern but, showing why I haven't been able to make a pattern. God Bless! Spirithorse multitom and Danj84 2 Quote

Dan It indeed a great picture of him but while making a pattern the shadow area is left to the imagination as it turns dark and while making a portrait pattern the picture has to be clear in order to get the details. Thank you Sir Danj84 1 Quote
