you gone done it again! :shock: you and az did a pheonomenal job here.

hop em into photoshop and go crazy with the brushes and colors. i made the lines darker by appying the 'photocopy' filter.

Ok, well i have gotten numerous pm's and questions on msn asking 'How do you make those sigs?' Well this guide is just to get you started. First things first. System requirements must be Photoshop 7 (I don't know what the older versions have and don't have...) or above (CS Professional/Unlimited). ----------------------------------------- Now to begin. I am starting very very elementary, but its to get things set. Step 1: Open up photoshop and select File-New. It should come up with a screen like the one below. Put in the settings as shown, and click ok. ---------- Step 2: First, you should have one layer in the layers panel. Make sure that your colors are set at default (press 'D' if not--they should be black in the foreground and white in the background). HOlding down CTRL, hit backspace. This should fill the layer with white. Next, create a new layer by clicking the icon in the red box. If you do not see the layers panel, go to Windows-Layers. ---------- Step 3: Begin drawing the outline of what you want drawn. In the tools box, right click on the paintbrush icon and select the one that looks like a pencil. Make sure that your foreground color is set to black. To do this quickly hit 'D.' Also, right click in the area that you will be drawing, and drag the arrow on the brush size bar to 1 pixel. For my outline, i stuck my hand on my monitor and drew around my hand. :roll: ---------- Step 4: Alright, so you now have an outline for what you want in your signature. Now, go to the tools palette, and select the paint bucket. If you cannot see it, look for a rectangle with a gradient in it, and right click this and choose the paint bucket. STOP! Before you start filling in your outline, go to the top of the screen, under the drop down menus, and find a box that says 'Anti-Aliased.' (circled in red). Make sure that this is unchecked otherwise your fill will be all faded at the edges and it looks weird. ---------- Step 5: After you have filled in all that you want, go back to the tools pallete and select the icon that looks like a right hand drawing. It is located underneath the paint bucket. This is the burn tool. THis will allow you to shade your sig very smoothly. At the top of the window, there is a small option that says 'Exposure.' Choose how intense you want the shadow to be. Once you are ready, begin shading the sig. However, if you have a main light source, such as a rising sun, moon, explosion, etc., take in mind that you need to only shade what you need to. You do not want to have everything shaded darkly when there clearly is a main light source. ---------- Step 6: Ok, so basically you're done now. Obviously mine doesnt look all that great, but hey, not much you can do with a hand... ---------- Step 7: Add a background and details, and you're done! Congratulations on succesfully making your very first BRUSHED SIGNATURE! ---------- Well i hope this helped everyone. ANd pardon the crappy looking shading on the hand. For some reason my computer doesn't take very good screenshots. It looked fine in photoshop. -Jab

pretty nice. but keep workin on em and try and stay away from using a lot of filters like glass distort etc. besides that, i think you've got a future :roll: ;)

great job on both of them, but i especially like beamos. the things in the background imitate beams to me. dont know if you 'planned' this, but i think its very cool.
