Another Winter Party !!!

Surprise! I have an amazing background now.

I love it. I'll probably keep it until around Christmas.

If someone expresses interest, I can show how it is done.
Otherwise, I won't because I have other things I could be doing.

I think I'm going to try and make a similar one for My desktop.

We'll see, though. I definitely have found the spirit of winter.
I will need to find a Christmas mood if I'm going to have an awesome one for it, too.
I meant to do something snowy, but this is what came out. oh well. Maybe next time.

That's one of the funny things about art - true art dictates its self. You just follow what is best until you can't improve upon it further.

Winter Party!!!

I've changed the blog to I winter background! I used all kinds of brushes and layering...

Tips for today:
- Plan ahead with image size. Altering dimensions later is a pain, and hard to keep looking good.

- Use scattering and angle jitters on brushes!!! you can find these on the brush menu in the top right.

- Make a new layer regularly, otherwise you'll end up in deep doggy doo later when you want to change something, but can't.

-The Image>Adjustments>... menu is full of wonderful things. Levels, Hue/Saturation, and Brightness/Contrast are some of my faves. Desaturate and Invert are good, too.

I'll have something cool in soon...
