Oh, poor her! How could she not feel like that with all those hearts and all the love around? ( yes, yes, I see them... they’re everywhere! ) great picture! love it <3 (hope she doesn’t see this one too1 ). I just have a question: how did you manage to do that sky in photoshop without ruining the draw? - I hope you understand what I mean -

:-) Natalie Adams replies: "yeah, just how i felt at the time!! 11
well, the sky was just a ’simple’ gradient done in photoshop - i used a separate layer, turned it to ’multiply’. then, on the picture layer (background) i selected the sky (this was made easier since the lines were complete, and the selection didn’t ’bleed’ into the pic!) - then, on the ’multiply’ layer, i filled in the selection with the gradient. Multiplying the layer meant that the colour went in under the lines, so no detail was lost - that is how i do most of my photoshop-coloured pics, so that the detail in the original scanned sketches aren’t lost!#hope that makes everything clear! 1"

oh, i thought the cloud was two ppl kissing. like the one on the right is a man and the left is a woman putting her arm around him.

:-) Natalie Adams replies: "yeah...*squints at pic*...yeah, i see it now!! Cool - hidden people in the clouds, doody - you are obivously more imaginative then i am!! 12"

:-) Natalie Adams replies: "poor you *hugs*
Mind you - the reason behind this pic, for me at least, has now gone - turns out he liked me all along, but couldn’t say it coz he was scared of hurting me! (as if he didn’t hurt me by pretending he didn’t actually like me!!! 2)
Anyway....yeah"
