Photo Retouching

I stumbled across this other gem of a site last night. AmyDresser.com has some pretty awesome demonstrations of her photo retouching and illustration work. You know how I have my portfolio showing my work from the beginning sketches to the final result? Well, it's because I really LOVE seeing the artist's process. For example, I think Michelangelo and DaVinci's best work are their scrapbook sketches don't you think?

If you go to the "Retouching" section of her website (the website navigation itself is a little bit....retarded, but maybe that's just me. I'm lolo), you can see a number of examples of how she took some pretty good shots and turned them into some incredible product images. A good example to show your kids if they have self-esteem issues...here you can see even the best model shots needs a lot of work before they even appear in the magazines.
