Tutorial(s) - your thoughts?

Tue Nov 17, 2009, 12:06 PM
  • Mood: Spidey Sense
  • Listening to: dishwasher
  • Reading: Public Enemy
  • Playing: mindjolt games app on Facebook
So I'm going to make a Photoshop tutorial for :iconpuuonme: and it's going to star the picture I'm making for :icondeyuoh:'s belated birthday. It might end up more than one tutorial depending on how big it gets, but I want to show how I'm drawing on the computer since my techniques have changed since my other tutorial.

What I'm planning to cover in the tutorial is:

1. composition - stages the picture goes through to get from stick figures to finished
2. pen tool - how do you use it? what do you need clicked on your computer to make it do what you want it to do?
3. clipping mask - more on this in said tutorial
4. color choosing on a pallet vs color choosing using variants (more on this later)
5. What brushes can you use so you don't have to gaus. blur everything for blending
6. how to change brush sets
7. How to change the color of your line art

And a few other things that will come up as I'm making this thing. There won't be any cloud talk since it's an indoor scene, but other aspects to the tutorial will appear as I compose.

My question to you is, is there anything you want to see? Like how to use a tool that might come up or how to do some sort of selection?

If I can include it into what I'm doing, I will, but I want to make this tutorial something everyone can enjoy.

As for the clouds, I can send you to the tutorial I learned cloud making from and then give pointers on color theory since that tutorial doesn't really go into how to make a sunset/sunrise, just how to make stormy stuff.

But yeah, do feel free to ask away :D

I'm fresh out of Purdue University with a BA in Creative Writing and a BA in History. I'm a Capricorn Wood Rat (+) and enjoy reading, writing, drawing, and learning. I hope to be a librarian someday. I do not submit original artwork here because if someone were to steal it, I'd rather it be a fanart than something I originally created. As for the poetry, I just need a place to put it.
