MWAHAHAHAH I d/l these brush and it was like.. dab, dab, motion blur, overlay.. and ta-da! A background HAHAHA

I need a border... and need to find a better font / colour... but i'm pretty proud of my new techniques haha

Personally, I think the default fonts work best for signatures.

just keep it simple?

I might try that...

:O
wow that's really good, much better than me
and you just started
now you can enter SOTW!

That font... something sunrise. Lol

Masks are a way of working non-destructively as my instructors like to say. After I've been taught that I've been using that and the pen tool for everything I need. I've never really read tutorials and I just can't most of the time. Trial and error is the best.

Playing with blending modes and then the opacity is good too. Cropping is also another way to make your work dynamic. You don't always have to use the full body. Play around with how much you can take out and still be able to 'see' what it is.

Nub question:

I have a sprite that I'm trying to paste into a new layer. But after I paste it in, I want to move it around but it won't let me... x.x Heelp?

Thats a really good start Hessah!! For simple borders, make a new layer, press ctrl+A (which selects all), go to edit, then click on stroke, just a simple 1px border would be good for that sig, and select center, then ur done :P

Yeah HAHA I think it's called Australian Sunrise.. I can't even remember how/when I got that font..

In the tute that I saw, the mask layer has a black and white area to it (i guess it's used like the way that Enraya explained?) But I couldnt get the black and white happening.. but i wont worry too much about that for now.. i think it's too advanced for me at this stage LOL

@ Lirange - my siggy is so random.. i thought it looked really cool last night, but i looked at it again this morning and it wasnt as great as i remembered HAHAHA Did you make your current siggy?

Don't you wish your art skills were hot like mine~

don't cha~
