I was finally able to take a photoshop class at my local community college. The program Kicks some serious booty! Anyway, now knowing a few things, I waas wondering, what do you guys, the pros use to make some of these walls? Are they vector, paths, scans? In class we never did anything like you guys do, but that is my ultimate goal. Can you spare some advice? Any helps. Later
advice from me, me being merkurixx, someone who uses photoshop, and who is named mike, my advice would be as follows:
the skills you learned in that class all sound like they are part of the technical side of photoshop. those skills count greatly, because they will alow you to achieve your final goal quicker and more easily.
but here's where YOU, the artiste, come in... take those skills and push them down a level, and let your inner artist come out on top. why? because the photoshop techie will simply see the bland lower level of computer graphics - the technical aspect - whereas the artist will see the whole package.
well maybe i'm rambling, but i hope i have helped.
there's nothing wrong with that. sticboys said he just doodled, and that's a good start to learn how to use a program like Photoshop. Just play around with it and try different filters etc. Search google for tutorials and try them out. In time you will get better. But be prepared to spend countless of hours with Photoshop (or 3DMax, Illustrator or whatever).
this is my .sig / there are many like it / but this one is mine
Well, I couldn't begin to start funneling Photoshop advice into one measly post. However, I'd be happy to share some of the more useful/fun tutorial sites that you could peruse...
