nick5454 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am trying my best to learn paint.net and I do ok. But i don't know anything. Can someone look at the texture I used and give ideas or a tutorial on how it was made? It's at the top of my web page(banner with all grey textures ) http://www.scoug.org It's my web site, but I would like to make that on my own. It's the banner at the top. And links to an existing tutorial and hints would be great. I'm a newb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhmedElyamani Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 well , i guess you can have the background layer covered with a gradient grey to white , and another layer where you'll draw some of these shapes ,in grey and white , and you'll give some gaussiane blur and glow to the next layer ,, the rest is left to your imagination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 grrr i have no answer for you, cat jumped on keyboard and all i can do is edit what she left xD I'd quote this in my sig, but I'm not sure if you would appreciate that As ahmed said, make a gradient background and have a layer with your shapes. To draw your shapes, use the line/curve tool and use the right mouse button to drag the nubs on the lines for smoother curves. Once you are satisfied with your shapes, add a new layer on top and draw some white and grey lines that follow the curves on some of your shapes, then blur them until they are barely visible. As final tip: start big, then shrink later. If you start with an image twice the size of what you want, the results will be twice as good Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

W@@dy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Rotate/Zoom is your friend for this one! It will add some perspective. This is what I was going to say. I've always been looking for ways to create those swerved out lines, that go into the screen. The best way I've found so far is to use the Rotate/Zoom (Ctrl+Shift+Z) tool. It's not easy. I haven't made anything respectable yet, but it's the best/only way I can think of. I'm assuming this is you're difficulty, and not how to make grey colors lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
