I found an interesting tutorial about making and envelope. It was a bit advanced for me, as I have no idea what gradients are or how to customize them at all. The tutorial describes a lot of the steps very clearly, some even with screen shots but gradient knowledge is assumed, hopefully I can gather some soon. But considering all that, I’d say it came out pretty well.  And it was fun personalizing it a bit.

PSD Tute: Envelope

Jacob suggested a great website to get me back in photoshop action, PSDTut.  I scrolled through and my first creations were following some of the interesting (yet beginner level) tutorials at their site.

It had a nice tutorial on drawing an anime character.  I think it was more for people with tablets but I don’t mind, and my drawing, although very rough (as is the coloring), is quite a miracle.  So instead of hiding my first (and  somewhat embarassing) creation I am going to boldly begin my blog by posting it.

PSD Tute: Cartoon Guy

I do think I will stick to the simple clip art and web design than going for humanoid figures again any time soon.  But I look forward to sharing more of my creations!
