Tutorial for Smoothe Effect

Miss_DJ (Jun 5, 2007)

FIRST STEP:
HAVE FUN! CHOOSE A BRUSH YOU LIKE AND PUT AS MANY COLORS ON THE CANVAS AS YOU'D LIKE. PLAY. PLAY. PLAY. I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN, SO HAVE FUN WITH IT. THE DIRECTION OF YOUR STROKES DON'T HAVE TO BE ANY 'ONE' WAY. BE CREATIVE! DOING THIS TO MUSIC YOU LIKE IS ESPECIALLY RECOMMENDED.

Oh CRAP! You did a tutorial like I asked? Donna, this is amazing and if I could I'd reach through the screen and hug you. I knew you used all the special tools I just didn't know how you did it. Honey, thanks for this, you know I gotta try now. Do wish we could have a fave folder, this would go right in. (((((Donna)))))

Btw, awesome picture, and I love the little added bubble on the left.

davincipoppalag (Jun 5, 2007)

Fun fun fun! You just defined...FUN hehe..You're fun! ;0)

wow I'll have to play with all the tools more, this is so pretty

Miss_DJ (edited Jun 6, 2007)

I'm happy you like this! I hope the tutorial makes sense, if anyone has any questions, feel free to memo me.

Here's my favorite example using this method for part of a picture: http://zoraw.cellosoft.com/data/8/86673/86673-v2.jpg

excellent Miss DJ, very smooth

enjoydotcom (Jun 5, 2007)

How in earth are you able to make such gorgeous color flows?

Sweetcell (Jun 5, 2007)

It's like an alien fish. I'm with Joy, I think the only way we'll know is if you do a tutorial like I did.
Tutorial Donna, I wanna do flowy, oily rainbow pictures.

Btw, I really like V3, really has an alien landscape look to it.

A fireworks lily~~~ you don't water them..you put lighter fluid on them once a week.. finally when they blossom..they shoot one flower into the sky and leave the garden full of glowing sparks....they're very rare.. you were lucky to find this one! Fun creative and prstty Mizz Donna

Miss_DJ (edited May 28, 2007)

thank you! This effect is created using only 3 colors, one for the background, 2 for the foreground, put over each other in angles till the desired look came about. No other tools. It's fun! Use the angled soft brush and give it a try! Edge out the figure with the background and voila' it is whatever you 'cut' it out to be.

here's Sweetcell's tutorial link;

davincipoppalag (May 28, 2007)

I would but I totally forgot how the angle brush works and the select tools, too.

Sweetcell (May 28, 2007)

It looks like a psychedelic Easter bunny. This is the bunny Alice followed after she took the pink pill. :)
I like it as, I hope you don't do much more with this. I mean it even has an eye.

Miss_DJ (May 28, 2007)

thank you Sweetcell. I may not do to much at all.

Thank you friends! I couldn't decide if i should draw a saguaro or 2, but I think I just like it as is, too.

This is great. It's very smooth and transitional, easy on the eyes.
