Description
Well, a lot of people have been asking me how I make my manipulations. Well, I created a basic run down of the techniques I use in basically all my manips. Remember, this is only the techniques. You have to come up with the creative image that you're wanting to create. You're welcome to create the same image I did (expecting you find all the stock I used) but I DO ask you NOT not submit it. I don't want millions of deviantions similar to mine (Yes I am uploading the final image). But I suggest you find your own pictures, and try out these techniques and see what you come up with. I spent a lot of time on this tutorial, probably around 2 hours total. So if you use this and like it, please fav it and comment me with what you've created with it so I can see

I really hope this helps you out. But remember, the two biggest parts about creating manips is the amount you practice (yes, practice does make better) and your creative mind.

good tutorial ! I just think that you're wasting time with erasing around the image. Just slect the girl. go to select/modify/smooth and smooth by 1. Then select feather and fill in 1 there too. Then press delete twice. and tadaaa

Sometime that cuts off parts of the picture though, and I'd rather make sure I have everthing. But thanks for the suggestion.
