    Easy/simple tutorials

    My three year old has been getting pretty good at PDN. She's able to use the paint brush, has learned to use the bucket fill and filled and outlined shapes. Hasn't been really "getting" filter use though she loves what happens to her drawings when they are applied.

    Can you just let the kids experiment? Or is this more of an actual class where there is an objective to what they're doing with PDN?

    I've been messing around with fractals recently so here's something I came up with:

    I noticed I was able to get fractal-like shapes in PDN. I call it "fractal-like" because I'm not sure how far down the recursion goes, and if I'm not mistaken, a true fractal must be infinitely recursive. But the image does give the impression of recursion.

    and a link to the full size 800x600 pic because some of the details are lost in the resized image (warning: ~2mb pic size):

    800x600 fractal_like

    BTW -- Is it possible to control the amount of compression of .png's with PDN?

    edit -- Updated my site with a link to the .pdn of the image. Leave a comment, mail, pm, etc. if you'd like further info on how it was done. It's pure PDN.

    I was playing around with PDN and i came up with this sig.

    It's my first piece of art I've done from scratch. :D

    I like that. Were the red areas done with the cloud effect? I've been trying to do a "rusty metal" in PDN and this looks like it might do the trick for me.

    Yes, I used the cloud effect over a dark red linear gradient with color burn (if I recall correctly) layer mode. And then a bunch of other stuff.

    Thanks. That helps me a lot. Hopefully I'll have something to put up in a couple of days.

    *Much* easier than the way I did it and it allows for more color options/effects. Thanks!

    Your result is much better though.

    I really like the shadow of the antenna per example.

    After playing with the other options mentioned for selective colorization, I also realized this: the way I did it allows for the *actual* colors of the colored subject to come through.

    Using the other method, you can select a part of the color specturum (say, "orange" in this case) and it will desaturate all but that area of the spectrum. The way I did it, the actual subject shows through a desaturated layer giving the "true" view of the subject and colors.

    Did that make sense?
