| I drew this in class the other day and then touched it up in photoshop.

EDIT: I made the smile creepier than in the previous version. .... And then I changed it a little bit more.

| This is how I spend my days...I went to a photoshop course this weekend called The Business of Beauty Retouching. It was a seminar about high end glamour retouching by someone from www.ottoimaging.com (website is amazing. I learned a lot, (although not nearly enough).
What those high end retouchers do is amazing. AMAZING. I knew that nothing in advertising was real, but I didn't realize quite how fake it all was. The gal running the class showed us images she had done, before and afters, that were astonishing. Here are a few of her stories
- The company gave her a picture of a model that had rain falling on her and asked her to remove the rain. Once she removed the rain they asked her to replace the models wet hair with dry hair. The image looked flawless after she was done (and was displayed in K-Marts around the world)
-Another company asked her to remove a a models make-up and then replace it with different make-up. The make-up artist that did the original make-up then got credit for the new make-up in the magazine
She also told us how often times she has to do ads for products that aren't even made yet. They will give her pictures of bottles that are similar and ask her to retouch a picture of something that doesn't even exist yet.
The retouching business (on the high end of it) seems very, very, very stressful.
Today I decided I would try my hand at retouching a product a little bit so I took a picture of some nail polish. It isn't the best, but hey, I'm no professional.
