    How do I do this text effect?

    And I'm on CS2. Kat is on a later version to me not an earlier one, just to clarify. So if I can round off the corners, maybe it's also possible in CS5?

    How do I do this text effect?

    Doh - do shapes not work like that in later versions? Sorry! *shuffles away*

    How do I do this text effect?

    Hi Kat, The simplest way I can think of is by using the shape tool (U) on a layer underneath your text. Selecting the tool will bring up a selection of different shapes at the top of the screen. Use the rounded rectangle in the colour you want (click and drag on the canvas), then adjust the...

    PaintTool SAI, Mischief and other painting programs

    Well, I'm trialing the full version now (tried the free version, but found it too limited - I need my layers!). My tablet seems to work well enough, and I can produce things that I'm happy with. Not only that, but I'm finding the concept of it is extremely freeing, creatively. I may have found...

    Exhibition of my Steampunk Pictures

    Lovely work! That looks like a great little exhibition space too - very unique. Congratulations!

    PaintTool SAI, Mischief and other painting programs

    This infinite canvas looks very interesting - one quick question if I may, as you've used it and I can't seem to find the answer very easily on their site: How do you actually take drawings off the canvas and save them as individual images with specific dimensions and resolutions? Is this a...

    PaintTool SAI, Mischief and other painting programs

    Just did a search - seems pretty good! I might trial that and see how I get on. Seems to be better supported than the one I was looking at, too. Thanks so much for that, I'd never heard of it.

    PaintTool SAI, Mischief and other painting programs

    Hi all, I have today been looking at this cheap and basic digital painting package as a potential replacement (along with GIMP) for my buggy old Photoshop CS2. I was wondering if any of you guys have ever used it (free trial or paid for), and what your experiences were with it. I'm curious but...

    How do i recreate this look?

    Yes, completely agree with DV - it needs to have those bold, black outlines and you'll be a lot closer to what you're after. The other thing I've noted from retro comics is that there is often some sense of extreme perspective in the way that the characters are arranged, like you're looking at...

    How do i recreate this look?

    I'd be interested to see the work in progress, Paul. That way we could have something to work with as a comparison and see where you might need to tweak stuff. One thing I'd advise in general though is to simply start by trying to recreate your example. Copy the characters, arrange the text etc...

    Photoshop Splash Screens

    I only just found this thread and got curious. Apparently in CS2 for windows, I have a space monkey. :cheesygrin: This made me lol.

    A very simple request { Please help }

    As this is the most specific you've been so far, I'm just going to chip in and advise that the next step should be for you to go and find some images of beautiful landscapes and palaces that you like, and post or link them here for someone to work with. Try to narrow it down as much as possible...

    2 effects I don't know how to make

    Not at all - PS is a tricky bit of software if you don't know where to find things, and possibly I've been too vague. What are you having trouble with?

    2 effects I don't know how to make

    If you ignore the pattern (which I was assuming you were) I think that is the diamond gradient in the example. There is a slight curve to the dark areas that fade in from the corners which could be achieved using additional round gradients on transparent layers, or very large, soft brushwork...

    Digital Paintings and Traditional Drawings (LOTS of images!)

    I too like the willow tree face image, the line and brush work is lovely. As Sam said, the colour choice works well. I also like the trees on the pink background - it has a nice textural, 'ink stamped' logo style. A good, bold bit of design. It's really nice to see an art style with so much...

    2 effects I don't know how to make

    On the second image, when you say 'flare' effect, do you mean the way the purple colour fades into black over in the corners? If so, this is more likely to be a gradient. To get to the gradient tool, go to the main toolbar, click and hold the paint bucket icon, and then move the mouse to the...

    That's all very clear, thanks. I think at some point I will need to draw a fresh version to incorporate all the changes and see how they improve the character - I run the risk of over-working the original otherwise. Thanks for the pointers. :)

    Cheers! No, go ahead with the pointers - I am always trying to improve on drawing people as I'm working on a character driven graphic novel, and I've spent a long time struggling with faces.

    Ah - she can be androgenous then, I don't mind. ;) Nope, nothing referenced, completely out of my head. I often think I could benefit from referencing real things more, but I got out of the habit.

    Thanks - I might have a play around with that tomorrow. Something is certainly wrong with it as a character drawing, however, as you're the second person to think she's a bloke! :biglaff:
