I have been working on a couple of ACEO's for the past couple of weeks. Every time I photograph it I see flaws that need improving. When is enough enough? I am so worried that I will not do a good job and people will criticize. With all my "talk" to encourage others, here I am-worried!
FIRST DRAFT
SECOND DRAFT
THIRD DRAFT
Did I mention that my camera is taking the colors differently every time? The second draft is closer to the colors. What to do?
I guess the good thing is, I am being creative, which is the goal.
If the camera is being inconsistent, try a free photo editing program like Picnik. It can help you change lighting and make things look like the actual product. But you've got a good start!
Oh, it's so neat! It looks larger than my aceos though. I ended up taking mine on a slightly overcast day in the kitchen in front of a large window without the flash. I took a buncha pics and finally picked three that I liked.
I think it is lovely, Sue! That is the trouble...stopping before you go too far. I have that trouble when I'm painting a mural. I keep thinking of things to add and then all of a sudden it is overloaded. I try to stop before I think I'm done. :)

I think they are lovely! thanks for letting us see the process!
Looks good! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the creativity.
I like the third one best with the embellishments. I find it funny that we both started making ACEO's at the same time!
I like number 2 very much Sue, but cannot see anything wrong with the others....they are all beautimus...

I don't know anything about ACEOs but this looks super bright and cheerful to me. I like it!
