Oct. 17th, 2006 04:55 amSo I bought myself one of these (I did not pay list price - *whew*). And I'm so excited I could about wet myself. Behold the power of (really spiffy professional) toys! I sense hours of happy masking and the substition of the faces of politicians onto pictures of steaming piles of horseshit in my future. Call it educational.
And of course, the image de la nuit. I discovered custom brushes yesterday (my Mom and Dad are very proud, I'm sure). A cheer for the slow, hands on, haven't read the tutorials (yet) learning curve! I know, I know, I'm at the Photoshop equivalent of the slow-kindergartner level, but I'm a ploddin' along. And getting really excited about the things I'll be able to do once I, you know, RTFM and practice. Preferably on the heads of Republicans, pundits, and bloggers at Little Green Footballs. But I'm a spiteful bitch.
And I have just discovered the kick-ass tutorials section on deviantArt. These people rock - they take their time and effort to visually explain to others how they achieve the effects in their own work. As an artist, that makes me a little misty. Altruism. In the arts community. *idealistic sigh*. I know![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
telophase has written several (such as this one). If you're a manga artist, or just want to learn from someone who has remarkable control over her media, check them out. And to see lots of Mello and that fabulous ass, of course.
(thanks to Miss M and 500ml brushes for the brushes and FAQs)
