[Making Sigy?]

^^^^ hes right, sometimes ill accidentally paste a picture onto the same layer and the same thing will happen. you need to create a new layer then paste, every time you paste something you need to create a new layer, then you can add effects and blending options as well. it might seem like more work right now, but it really saves you a lot of time once you figure out how to use pdn, good luck!

Working on a human hand, so that I can eventually get a nice looking sig going. Sorry I hid the layers, I didnt notice till I posted. I also realize that it needs some work, from the outline to some more blending in the shades of black and white. Overall, I think I am getting the jist of it, and constructive critizism(sp :?: ) is needed.

i got a drawing diagram at home on my pc if your insterested leme know

[gradient on curved edges.]

or you could just manually do it, color in the colors of the gradient you want and the shape you want them in, make sure you merge all the colors onto one layer. then motion blur it at 200, mess with the angle to get it how you want it.

^^I know this doesnt look great i just did it quickly, but using this method you can acheive wat your going for pretty easily. plus you can use as many/patterns colors as you want

[make a fish tank look like real glass]

^^^^you got the picture uploading down.

here's a little tut i came up with.

Flower pot

Before any of this make sure your :AntiAliasingOff: anti alias is off, this will make it easier to color.

First select the ellipse tool and create an oval, do this on a new layer that way it will be transparent.

Next click the duplicate layer button, now you should have to ovals, select the selected pixel move tool and move it up.

Now draw to lines connecting the ovals and clean up with the eraser tool if needed.

Now merge down your layers so all these steps ^^ are on one layer.

Then duplicate that layer, hold down the shift button and resize it so its just a little smaller than the top half, then move it into place.

Select the line tool and connect the top and the bottom, i didnt connect the end of the ovals i moved my line tool in to give it some shape, because the top and bottom of a flower pot arent the same size.

Now it still looks a little flat, so i added a few more ovals to give it some shape, you can do this simply by duplicating the top or bottom layer then resizing and moving it.

^ i forgot to clean up the bottom earlier so i did it at this step, just use the eraser.

Now for the dirt were going to merge all the layers together. Then add a new layer. Move this layer down below the outline layer. Select a dark brown (i used 351B13), select with the magic wand the dirt part on the outline, then click on the layer below it and fill it with the paint bucket.

Then go to effects/noise/add noise/turn the color saturation down all the way/then the noise to about 30, this makes it look more like dirt.

Now to color the actual pot just use the same method above with out the noise, you some different browns, here's what i came up with.

i used a reflected gradient for the main part, and texture on the other parts.

I just used the flower tut for the flowers, ill add the url for it in a few.

I like the monster. Like most of your drawings, he's pretty cool! ... but why are his horns made of bricks? :shock:

haha, i agree i used to have hair like that lol.

^^thanks for the nice comments on the monster , i thought the brick texture looked kinda cool on it lol

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

So here's attempt #1 at glass trays. Ash, you simply must tell me how you got those corners. :wink:

Seriously. You must. Or I'll kidnap your sabre-tooth tiger and hold him hostage. Because I r bad! >:]

Also, I was playing with blend modes and gradient mapping... It can lead to some very interesting results on photographs... I give you... the ice eye! :shock:

^^^ that looks awesome wither, you must be really conceded , haha only kidding

L'amo!

^^

i believe thats Italian for i love it :wink:

Hahahahha!

I thought you'd spelled lmao wrong.

^^Lol a little Italian lesson

But then i read the rest of your post.

any opinions on my little smile monster?

[RESOLUTION INCREASE????? HOW????!!!!!!!]

please dont type in all caps, im not exactly sure how to tell you how to do this but search here http://www.getpaint.net/search

[make a fish tank look like real glass]

theres many ways to add a image here are a couple.

easiest way right below this box click browse. then find your file, then click add the file.

another way is to go to http://www.photobucket.com make an account (its free) then you pretty much do the same thing, but after you upload the image onto photobucket you copy and paste the direct link (ull see this once you upload it) thats wat you have to do. i use photobucket cus it saves my images to there site, therefore backing them up.

edit:monster i got to get some sleep, i promise ill show you how to make a flower pot tomorrow, its almost 2 am lol. and i work at 5 lol, ill talk to you tomorrow!

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

np, here's one i did, im really proud of the coloring. this is the first time ive really worked on experimenting with gradients and textures. I owe this one to ash, oma, and teachespdn, you guys were right looks good and was fun to do. definitely the last picture you see like this.

^^^so cool and monstery looking^^^ i love it^^^ lol

[make a fish tank look like real glass]

ill show you how to do it, i was just finishing a picture of a monster .

lucas im not sure if something is going on with my pc, but i cant see your images, im need evening seeing an area where they are or a url, how are you posting your images?

[The Pictorium! Post your created or edited images here!]

L'amo!

^^

i believe thats Italian for i love it :wink:

[make a fish tank look like real glass]

Something like this? it could be modified, the coloring probably needs a little work, and maybe some more flowers or something. but if this is kinda wat you were looking for i can show you how.

edit: this is my first attempt, i can refine it if you like the idea.

[make a fish tank look like real glass]

^^^they both got it down lucas, are you familiar on how to upload the .zip wither just posted into your PDN?

also ill give ya a hand with the flower pot, gimi a few mins to get it down.

[make a fish tank look like real glass]

lucas you forgot your pics

[more drawing tut?]

thanks for all the advice guys, it really doesn't go unnoticed to me and the PDN community, im assuming you guys know that, but from my experience here, all the members make the community, but there has to be some one behind the wheel driving it, i think people like ash, oma, rick, and bolt bait really stand out, as well as many other members, these are just the ones that have personally helped me a lot.

Thanks for everything, Im always here to return the favor.

I present a

medal for next years award show

this award would go to the the person that just doesn't get it. they require constant mod input on the same darn thing. to qualify they would have had constant locked threads all dealing with the same subject matter.

and if you don't get the idea behind this one you might just be in the running

PS not sure its a great one to receive. so everyone watch out for the Bazooka award . don't make yourself a nominee.

lmao nice oma, i need some help expanding on this one, i think this should be an award to the biggest complainer

[links in sig?]

okay thanks ash, so as long is its not a link thats like 500 pixels x150 that screams MY BAND! im okay

[links in sig?]

ive noticed that a good amount of people have links in there sigs, i no there is no advertising on the forum but seeing this made me curious if i could add a link to our band site on my sig, im working on one thats some band images.

[more drawing tut?]

sorry ash and oma, just trying to help , *oma and ash send k.digennaro back in his corner*

i guess the reason this is so interesting to me and the reason i wouldnt mind seeing more like this, is simply because this is my style, i enjoy teaching, maybe ill think of another tut, thats PDN related.
