I Need a Mentor!

Sat Nov 26, 2005, 4:44 AM
I have decided to find a talented person (perhaps in my Friends) who could teach me some basics about photoshop.
Yes...i'm fed up to be Frustrated to see some Artwork that represents what i feel and i am not able to turn it myself in good works.
No...i don't like at all ma poor manips...

I have some big problems with the blur/blend effect to get a painting aspect and not just a photo-manip...you know what i mean? :confused:

PS: Yes, i have already tried to learn more in Photomanip, reading some Tutorials but my big problem is they're All in English language and i'm a poor French so sometimes i don't understand some words or sentences and i can't follow the progression of explanations...:(

Well, i think Everyone is already too busy in his Artwork so i'm searching some french tuts to help me.

Probably the best thing to do is get together a list of things you feel you need help on and an example of a work and ask for help :nod: that way you get insight from all of us :nod: Probably some people are better in photoshop doing some things, and others are better at doing others :)

What version of PS are you running too?

Thanks for your response :hug:

I use Photoshop CS since one week...
As an example i could give you the [link] of my last fav ;)
I don't know how to get such a painting appearance, perhaps only a work of tones with a blur effect, or a filter...

I wish I could help, but I'm not too good doing manips, I'm still learning to get even better, and also I have PS 7.0, so I really don't know how CS works... But if you need some help or answers, I could try and help out in the best way I can :hug:

You are so kind :hug:
Well...i have always worked with PS7 so no problem :)
Then...in my fav of Samhain there is the general aspect i'm looking for: it really seems like a digital painting, not a photmanip.
I am VERY Bad in creating background and work on it, i don't master the tones+blur tool, that's it my pb i think...

hmm, well in Samhain I just played around actually with textures of different kinds and then working to get the colours right, and then I used the blur tool some places so it merges better together. The biggest problem for me, I think, is the lightning. But I always try to remember where the source of light comes from and then use different teqhniques to make it look good. :-)

You can ask me any question you'd like and I'll do my best to help. If you come to Illinois, I'll teach you 100 percent on what I know :)

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
