JacobRyan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 You're using photoshop correct? Okay my main suggestion here is to read some tutorials. Now that may seem a bit [developmentally delayed]ed, but it can most definitely help. Go to Deviantart.com and look at the tutorials there. Don't follow them exactly, when going through a tutorial, just use it as a guideline, a learning resource. Whenever I used them, I would get to a lot of parts and experiment going, "What if I did this? Or what if I did that?" and I wouldn't do what the tutorial specified. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. If it worked, I kept it in mind to be used at another time on a different piece. It's all about experimentation. I will say, the hardest thing about creating a signature is text. It's by far the hardest thing to get right. Never fall into a habit of using one text because you like it. Evaluate the piece, see what kind of "mood it has," then you can answer should the text be medium or small size? Should it be put here or over here? Should it be smooth and elegant or jumply and chaotic? All things you need to answer, also text color choice. Mess with blending modes, put it in different directions on angles. Say you have a guy with a sword in the picture, have it on an angle running down the sword. Color choice overall is a hard thing as well. You need something that will not kill the eyeballs of the viewer but can also be bold and stand out. One thing color helps with is depth and feel. The sig you have here now is very flat, boring, and uninteresting. Different brushing techniques, choosing different places for the render, things of that nature can make the sig feel a lot more alive. As I said man, go look at some tutorials. When I go to create something new, I do not set myself a boundary on what can or will be done. You need to take chances, a lot of the time I will do something totally off the wall, something I didn't even plan on doing with the piece. Even after I am "finished," I will go back and evolve the piece, change it somehow to make it even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
