Need a little help

12-04-2011, 01:36 PM

Hello all,

was wondering if someone might be able to help me out with a portrait pattern. I have tried and I have made the patterns before but this one is testing my abilities a bit.

It is a picture of my wifes uncle and his future wife.

thank you for the help in advance.

I moved your thread to a more appropriate forum to maximize traffic and get you more responses to your request/question.
