I followed Kythe's instructions in the blog to make my first mask. It's a bit too curved on one side - I used a couple of bird brushes that I got from Brusheezy plus some brushes from Lynne Anzelc's Outback kit.
I used some brushes in the centre but can't remember which they were. I will have to write them down in future. I also used Affinity so the process was a little different at the end as I needed to get the transparent background before clipping the mask to the photo. For a first try I'm quite chuffed with it. Thank you Kythe and Vicki.
I've made another 2 since - the third one was best so I'm improving The technique at the end is a little different with Affinity but it wasn't too hard to figure it out. Thank you for the tutorial. X
