Well, I've really wanted to try learning this stuff so I finally got around to Photoshop. I read a couple tutorials and tried some stuff with old pictures and finally tried some sigs.

IMO, I think the 2nd one is the best, then the 1st, then 3rd. I don't really know what happened with the 3rd render it was really good quality before I shrunk it :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

Any suggestions/tips for future sigs?

Try a much smaller canvas for a start. Cant type much with on-screen keyboard.

I recommend not even bothering with text at this stage.

Nice colours, the text looks kinda out of place though which I often find when you put it in a colour. Try putting it in black or white and setting it to soft light (or whatever you PS folks use), or making it less opaque.

Text = :thumbdown:

 

 

 

You need a smaller canvas too. Having a big canvas with no lighting effects or whatever looks bad :|

Thanks for the comments :)

 

 

 

I'll try improving it and posting the updated version.

Updated first sig + added some more :

Anyone D:

The second one is definitely your best, with nice blending and colors (they're complimentary). The first is still nice, but a little blank. I think renders of people are always hard to do because they don't take up much space, and you need to be more creative/complex with your background. The third... the colors don't match up very well, and there's very little blending. I'd say ditch it instead of trying to fix it.

lemeja! What theeee hellll!

Is that a hello :lol:

#1 That is to big of a canvas, to start. Font is kind of poor, but that's almost a given when you start out in graphics ;)

 

 

 

#2 The size there is still kind of...Abnormal.

 

 

 

#3 Looks pretty basic, but your turn out was good. (Perfect canvas size btw. :thumbsup:)

 

 

 

#4 Not really my cup of tea, so to speak :P But it's all blended well.

 

 

 

Keep it up, you have potential. :
