Gorgeous artworks, Isa. Love the coloring on some of the icons. Do you do other medias such as photography, painting, drawing? If so, show some. |

No. No way. No. I think I would consider photography but for that I'd need a decent camera first. Painting and drawing gets a big No though. I can't draw or paint to save my life. Even my stick figures look horrible. Last edited by Fading Letters; 03-03-2010 at 02:17 PM |

I looked through some threads for this. I don't usually go in threads unless I want to post there, so this took a while. I love these by queen.blair and I don't even watch the show but they're very beautiful. These by Edelyn are rather old but they're simple pretty. Reminds me that I should watch GG again sometime soon. Anything you want to share with us? Actually, not right now. I've just recently posted my last batch of icons at my graphics comm and haven't really gotten down to make anything else. But I always appreciate suggestions. |

Not exactly. I just usually go through the following steps (in that order); - cutting - resizing - positioning - colouring - background/brushes/textures - layer effects (both on pics and brushes, if I use them) - text - fiddle around with all of it Some do it differently but I find that it works for me. It's always the same steps that I go through. Also, if I do critical erasing (like the edge of a person), I find that sometimes I can work better with my touchpad than with my mouse. |

Those artworks are still rather nice.
Any words of wisdom to someone who may want to apply to the Graphics Team? |

Jack/Irina. It's an older one and I made it when I wasn't quite as experienced and quick with Photoshop. Any words of wisdom to someone who may want to apply to the Graphics Team?

Good advice!

What is your favorite thing about the GT?
I'm not sure. The people, I'd say. I found so many new friends through GT, it's awesome. And voting. I absolutely LOVE the polls. It's silly how hyped up I can get when polls are put up to vote for the graphics. Also, GT is a really good incentive for me. I wouldn't ever open Photoshop if I didn't have to do my work for GT. I love that it gives me something to do and that I am told what to do instead of my usual sitting in front of the laptop, pondering what on earth I could possibly graphic-ize. Post your favorite black and white graphic you've made. [clicky] They're the back and front covers of a fanmix I made. I don't have many b/w graphics but I really like this one. Favorite color graphic? [clicky] I put a lot of work into this one and I was very happy with how it turned out. I'm usually not comfortable with working on such a large canvas, especially with several different pictures. But I had an idea for this one and it turned out pretty. |
