ImAnOwl? Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Nice and Easy to follow tutorial i allso like the outcome.. (yours look like a chinese smiley ) my shadow is abit off i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Here's a quick way to work out the shadow placement: Draw an imaginary line through the approximate centre of the sphere and brightest spot on the outside of the sphere. It's on this line that the shadow should be centred. For your image, the line is almost at 45 degrees (highlight is just below the nose) through the sphere centre. So your shadow is cast too low for the given highlight. @xmario: Nice easy tut with concise, clear steps. Well done.

Skitzo Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 nice. I'm Russian so I read the Russian description : ) but it really has a nice outcome, but the actual smile seems a bit off, probably because his eyes are closed..

csm725 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 On topic: nice tut, cute result. Off topic: To whoever runs the Russian PdN site (http://paint-net.ru/), next time could you ask me before translating one of my tuts to Russian (http://paint-net.ru/?id=36)? Even though it wasn't an exact translation, I'd still appreciate it... Quote My deviantART | Sig Battles | My Tutorials | csm725.com Click to enter or vote in the official Paint.NET competitions!

xmario Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 csm725: Sorry, if you don't like translation. But it was not the translation. It was a simplified version of Your tut. In any case, at the bottom of the description there is a link to your original text in English. http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32840 Thank you for your tut. It's a great!

Alex979 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 When I use the bevel selection it bevels the sides of the page and not the face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Alex979, There's a step missing. Magic Wand the alpha on the eyes and smile layer, then make a new layer and apply the Bevel Selection effect. Then erase around the canvas edges.

jerry533482 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Cool tut. It's hard to find a simple yet entertaining walk-through nowadays. This one i simple & unique. Here's my try: I tried zoning out a square selection & using the eclipse circle drawing tool to make a perfect circle for the mouth, but I forgot that I'd left the mode to fill, but I liked the outcome, so I kept it.
