To be clear, because I will likely be judging the contest, this entry is ineligible to win.
It is submitted to serve as an example of what we want in this contest. We seem to be getting a lot of irrelevant entries, and hopefully this will clear up any misconceptions; we want tutorials about paintings for this, not paintings.
I don't really like using the smudge tool; it doesn't allow as much control as this technique does, and has a very distinctive effect that looks very "smudgy" and not very nice.
I'm a mouse user and I found this to be very helpful. You explained this technique very simply. Before I was confused, but not anymore. Thanks for that.
