You do your manes almost like how I do mine! I use the burn/dodge tool to help bring out highlights and lowlights.

I love this tutorial...maybe there's another one in the works?

Do you use a tablet? Or, how do you make your lineart? Cause I got the same program, but there are soo few tutorials that explain how to make lineart for photoshop elements 5, and even less for non tablet users...Wonderful tutorial though!

Equinus In reply to sandeyes13 [2007-12-07 06:56:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeh, I do use a tablet. I usually make my lineart by hand, rather than using Lines and stuff like that, and I use a reference just to make sure the anatomy is right! But I wudn't really know much about making linearts without a tablet! I don't even have a mouse, i use my tablet for everything!

Equinus In reply to Arcane-Wind [2007-12-05 07:08:18 +0000 UTC]

thanks! yeh, i had a problem with that, i might redo it, cuz they're not very clear... *stupid photoshop... grrr* lol

Arcane-Wind In reply to Equinus [2007-12-05 19:39:40 +0000 UTC]

xD I suggest instead of pasting whole screenshots, just crop it so that the important parts (namely, the canvas) can be seen. I don't think the time of day and your WMP are particularly relevant to the tutorial

Equinus In reply to Arcane-Wind [2007-12-06 13:00:17 +0000 UTC]

ah, clever beaver! Thankies, I'll try that, i'm still new to the whole screenshot thingy!
