I was thinking to get people to help each other if they have questions on how to do things like how do you make hair drawn with good highlights or, like me, I want to know how to make crystals or abstract designs in photoshop

All of that and more. Need it for a project real soon. Can you help me? Please?

I'm not much of a photoshop wiz, but maybe I could give you some advice with the hand drawn stuff...like the hair?

But yeah, good idea for a thread. ^_^

Any and all advice will be helpful ^_^

Is it just hair that you have problems with? If i'm going to do this, the easiest way is to draw out stages tonight and post them up tomorrow...and I was wondering if there is anything else that I could do while i'm at it.

Well, hair is one of my problems (drawing AND coloring with computer).

Should've gotten Elements...

I think this might be helpful http://keechul.4mg.com/htk/htk.htm

unless you can't do that with your picture editing program

I have Phototshop 7.0

Not sure. I've only got an small grasp on the tools (or so I've been told)

is there a photoshop 8 now...

Actually, there is Photoshop CS out as well. I'm supposed to be getting it for my computer, but i've been waiting for a while now.

...I'll have to start pestering dad again soon.

This is an excellent idea, something like this was bound to crop up soon or later...crop, there's a pun for you :). Anyway, this would be very helpful for me as I often need help on Photoshop, expect to see plenty of me in here lol.

i've only got photoshop 6, but i found this tutorial on the coloring n' stuff...even tho it's for photoshop 5, all the tools should be still there...this also has some stuff on drawing if you have problems on that...

Blah.... I don't like the idea of using "how to's" to learn to draw manga/anime... If it's an artist it would come naturally just by studying the form.

However, if you want specifix on how to use photoshop try:
http://www.gfxartist.com/features/tutorials

the how to draw manga is a good site
i've use it with my photoshop 7
it's good enough to use for coloring and everything

i think there's a site called polycarbon something

i don't remember

polykarbon.net

polykarbon is a good place to go too, but i dun really go for the drawing style...i just need help on coloring stuff because whenever i try to color things, it looks sorta weird...o ya...here's another helpful place...
http://www.bakaneko.com/howto/
it takes a long time to load for some reason...or maybe it's my comp...but anyways, this site also has some stuff on drawing hands...i dunno about other people, but the hands i draw look really...scary...
one more thing...does anyone know how to draw complex designs on photoshop?

Stupid Cat? What a funny name for a site... lol ^.^

By the way people, I don't think the point in this topic was to post random sites with art tutorials in them, if members wanted that they would search for it in a search engine such as google. Is this topic not for discussing effects, textures, layer styling and other things similar to that?

I don't think that any of these sites are "random". They're perfectly fine to me. :D Although you can discuss about all those things if you want to as well ~

pscs==ps8 iirc...

I think you thought I was using the word random in the wrong context, what I meant by random was sites that don't really answer a question, although they are on topic, they're not needed. Isn't it best that some one asks a questions and other members go on their ways to find an asnwer or sollution?

hey is there anyway to grab a pic's colours on a pallette and then change the pics colours directly through the pallette? I found that quite useful when making cs sprays with the generic prog but can you do that with photoshop?

I know you can select the part you want to change colour of and then simply change the hue (CTRL+U), not sure if this is what you mean though

this topic was for anything dealing with art tutorials
whether it's from a site or from themself
if you've found a site you like you can post the link
and if they don't understand it, you can explain it

Thanks for all the help guys. I've now finished a picture (took a sketch from the internet and colored it). I would like to show you guys, but I'm too lazy to find a host :heh: ...

If you REALLY want to see it, email me.

I only have Photoshop Elements and Fireworks... there are no tutorials on Fireworks... *sniff*

I'm just examined a lot of anime and trying to draw!(You can look yourself at the mirror and draw!)Well...I've tried to animate my character in manga!

the way i do things is
i free hand draw pictures and work up to real pictures
once i've done that
i draw anime/game art styles that i like
and uses pieces of their style in my art

ask me sometime and i might show a pic of one of my drawings here

How long did you guys drew anime...or manga?Of course the longer we draw the better it is,right?(I was just wondering!)

And...errr.... :think: ......... :heh: why don't we show All our art and discuss the weakness?

been drawing since elementary
started when i saw a kid able to draw dinosaurs with great detail

sux that now he's a smoker and procrastinated and skates...i think

i've been drawing since elementary school...i didn't really start drawing anime/manga style until middle school...but i guess the longer you draw, the more time you have to perfect it...lol...i'm still not satisfied with my work tho...it's not "the best" neither is it "the worst"...lol...has anyone ever drawn something, left it somewhere for about a week or so, and then looked at it again a week later, and discovered it was horrible? ahh, i'm getting off topic...
neways, i free hand draw my pics, and sometimes ink them (rarely), and color them...(even more rare)...
n' i was just wondering...what's the best medium to use when coloring an anime/manga pic?

hmm some of these 2 links mite be useful not sure :P :
