PS Graphics - Starting from scratch

[palomino]

thanks-- it (the pen tool) is very cool once you start to get a grasp on it---I found a tutorial that has you trace things to get going and that really helped.

Hi,

If you remember the address of that pen tutorial that you found useful could you post it - there may be others who would find it useful. Most of the things that I have learnt about Photoshop and Illustrator I got from on-line tutorials.

Have visited your myspace - best of luck with the music.

I think these are the 2 tutorials I started with just to try and get the hang of making curves with the pen...I am still working on it. Thanks for visiting the mySpace!

I was messing around with smart filters and the quick selection tool--pretty cool features. I could render the leaves, then use the quick selector to keep only the leaves I wanted with no partial leaves like I'd get with the standard eraser (well, almost--I was being quick-n-sloppy.)

Bart, that's a fun and colorful picture.
I need to try this sometime.
Lots of neat stuff in this thread.
