Thanks for the comments/advice on the last draw. I put in a few harder lines on this draw, but I didn't use the anti-alies to do thin highlights. I found that it blurs the line too much and makes the line 2 or three pixels wide. What worked better for me was turning off the anti-alias and blend and using a low opacity and high flow to draw thin highlights. But, thanks for the suggestion!

I think this is great... a little of the same highlighting you used on the base and stem of the glass would be well-applied to the base of the receptacle part of the glass, as that portion is a little blurry. Looks like an Italian still-life. I like it very much.

Yes, it's a lovely picture but I agree with Dead.. the glass needs sharpened up. The stem part looks really good, as does the corkscrew. Great job on the wooden tabletop.

Yep..right on.. great job.. but that glass bowl needs sharper edges... love this!

fyi...you can adjust the strength of blur..by adjusting the opacity when you select it (it being the blur tool)
and low opacity is awesomeness.
nice study : )

Ok...i sharpened the bowl slightly, added a touch more definitiion to the glass outline and 'clarified' the base of the glass. Thanks for the hints.

I think what it is about this is the bg kind of camouflages the glass.. I think with a different bit of color back there the glass would stand out more... its much better as I stare at it.. but that bg hides it...

Just browsing yer board....this one is beautiful! I love the blending and colors, especially the contrast between the grey and the wine. LOL....sorry, but I think of things in terms of where I'd like to see them....this would make an absolutely beautiful cover for a wine menu.
