For this drawing I clicked the "reserve transparency" button on the "layer menu" to do the gradients. Each layer is a different color, like you would do solid coloring but each color on a separate layer. In addition, you can select individual pieces with the "magic wand" tool with the reserve transparency still on or use the "select rectangle or oval" tool to do your gradients. which is handy if your selected area was made with the anti-alias or blending, whereas using the magic wand around blended/anti-alias areas to do gradients would leave a line around the selected area, you don't want that. That was all very long winded, I hope you understood and I hope it helps. :D

I think I understand but I'm not sure I can do it... and I hate you 'cause this is just a 20 min. "no sweat" pic for you, it's awesome

Ok, I'm a dunce because I don't know where the reverse transparancy is. Actually I'm a dunce because I can't figure how to use masks for a picture. Tutorial on wiki Klox. Pwease?

This is what happens to that big blue furry guy on Monster's Inc when he's run over by a steam roller.

Or it's the Grinch having a sad day. :)

How does one do these pieces? I'd like to try one day. You are becoming the official landscaper of the community.

Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb.
They all fall there so perfectly,
It all seems so well timed.
An' here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.
