It takes a lot of practice, and instrucinal sites, all of my fir-- all of my stuff looks like crap too. XD

 

[Mayl]

But its always nice to take a tutorial, otherwise everything you make will look like everything I make...for the simple fact that I too taught myself the ways of photoshop..xD

Your banners are awesome. XD

But what's strange is..
Everytime I look at one I think: "Hey she used ____ to make that ___ effect."

In other words I know what you use but I lack teh creativity to utilize it..O_o

90% of my backgrounds are inspired by old lacy/solorized/brightcolors/aged effects, so I can churn out banners in no time, only they look halfarsed. D;

Bleh.

Can you show me one of your older banners? I want to see if I can use what I know about photoshop to recreate the background as I see it..

My first avatar with photoshop did not go well...

>.<

That's the oldest one I have for Paintshop pro, probably made in summer.

And my first one on Photoshop, made about 3 months ago.

The brushes I use most are ones with lacy effects and old photo ones, they give a vintage look, and then I brighten and recolor them~ ;O[/FONT]

It looks like all you did was crop the image..O_o

Oh-kay ..
There's no way I'll be recreating that..XD

Duh. You expected me to actually draw something? Background took like five seconds.

 

[Kurono]

No...you could have just added an effect to it...maybe you could have made a border..o_o

 

[Mystic]

Those are really good Paige. I'm serious, those are some of the best that I've seen. Really.

All that was done with the black and white image was a flat black back ground, with white aged photo effects, brightened, then recolored, the butterfly was a photoshop brush, and the two images were cut and layered so that the eyes would look transperent. Then I added the spatter. It really wasnt that hard, I'm just better with manga images for some reason. o_o

 

[Simon]

I did. One pixel black. I don't bother with borders other than that. They just all looked wierd.

That was a handful...

No it wasn't, you're just new to it... XD

I've used several versions of photoshop for years and I'm new to it..? Bleh.

Quit switching versions so you can get used to one. >>

 

[Kurono]

I've only used like four..xD

And they're pretty much the same..
I think the oldest I used was 8, I have ImageReady, Photoshop CS, and now CS2..but I prefer teh last over all of them..
