Description Hey guys

Yeah, I did my first Tutorial^^
It is about Layers, because so many Beginners are asking the same questions about them.
This Tutorial is about how to use graphic programs, not about how to draw!
I hope it will be helpful -if not, tell me why, because I want to know how I can do better next time

If you have questions about digital drawing ask me, and I'll try to explain in the next Tutorial (yes, I'll do more of them, if you want me to^^)
What should be the topic of my next Tutorial? Tell me what you think! ^.^

Download-Information: The zip-file includes the images I used for this and a html document. You can open it with Firefox. Don't delete the images! You need them because the html will not work without them!
Why is it a html document? Because this way you can scroll and use the index.


As promised in the Tutorial, here you can find the proof that you can do awesome work on only a few layers:
(For a Link to the video just read the description)

Curious about the Tomb Raider drawing I used for this? You can find the finished picture here:

kurohii [2012-06-08 15:36:33 +0000 UTC]

du nutzt sai ja komplett anders als ich
ich mach die schatten(und das licht) gleich auf die selbe ebene XD
clip funktion usw nutz ich meist am ende(wenn überhaupt >.>)

egal: super tutorial XD

Lodchen In reply to kurohii [2012-06-08 17:58:35 +0000 UTC]

Echt? xD ich könnte das garnicht, dafür änder ich im Nachhinein immer noch viel u viel xD (Ich muss gestehen, dass ich teilweise alleine 10 verschiedene Ebenen für Schatten und Licht habe xD ... was im Grunde genommen keinen Sinn macht, aber ich brauch einfach die Sicherheit xDD)

Danke, deine Einschätzung ehrt mich, da du ja wie mir scheint selbst Ahnung davon hast

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kurohii In reply to Lodchen [2012-06-08 18:28:06 +0000 UTC]

so kann man ja im nachhinein auch noch alles ändern XD

zu viiiiel D':
mir wären schon 2 getrennte ebenen für licht und schatten zu viel XD

nee eher nich XD sieht man an meinen bildern
oder meinst du turoials machen.__.
da hab ich bisher nur 2 ganz grobe gemacht

Lodchen In reply to kurohii [2012-06-10 07:08:36 +0000 UTC]

Schon, aber es is einfacher ne ganze Ebene zu löschen

xDDD

Echt? Ich find deine Bilder sehen aus als würdest du ziemlich gut mit deinem programm klarkommen
Nee ne, ich meinte wirklich bei denen Bildern, nich bei Tutorials^^

NanaCasas [2012-04-11 14:27:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm sure it will be very helpful when I start my learning process in Photoshop with my art work. I have CS4 and I'm still a little intimidated to use it. Just gotta keep working at it.

Lodchen In reply to NanaCasas [2012-04-11 19:41:05 +0000 UTC]

You're really welcome^^
Just stick with it, learning by doing is -in my opinion- nearly always the best way^^

Hehe I thought the same when I realized how "layer clip" works xD

I'm glad it was a help^^

I didn't want to comment back on the forum. But thank you. I will read this tutorial and hopefully it will work.

Lodchen In reply to MrFxckinCuthroatt [2012-04-05 16:23:40 +0000 UTC]

I can't remember your question (sorry for that, I have been very active in the forums lately O_o), but I'll hope it will help.
If not, I would be grateful to hear why not.

I'm going to do more tutorials soon, if you have other questions, don't hesiate to ask^^ Maybe I'll explain it in the next tutorial, then^^

MrFxckinCuthroatt In reply to Lodchen [2012-04-06 14:59:11 +0000 UTC]

It was about digital coloring.
Well I'd love to see any new tutorials about coloring/shading you might make.

Lodchen In reply to MrFxckinCuthroatt [2012-04-06 15:16:07 +0000 UTC]

Ah^^
Okay^^ Your not the first one who has problems with the shading, so I think this will be one of my next topics^^

Fantastic - great help in any case, though I have worked with layers for some time now, this has cleared a few things up!

I like it very much!

Vielen vielen lieben Dank^^
Ich war wirklich unsicher, ob das Tutorial überhaupt jemandem helfen würde, also freut mich dein Kommentar ganz besonders

Promet-he-us In reply to Lodchen [2012-04-05 13:41:59 +0000 UTC]

Doch - tut es, ich habe Layer bis jetzt doch ziemlich ineffektiv eingesetzt würde ich sagen...

Lodchen In reply to Promet-he-us [2012-04-05 14:08:52 +0000 UTC]

Dann freut es mich natürlich sehr zu hören, dass ich helfen konnte^^
-Meiner Meinung nach war die Layer Clip Funktion die beste "Entdeckung" die ich je gemacht habe. Ich habe soooo~ lange ohne sie gearbeitet weil ich nicht wusste, was das ist, bzw wie es funtioniert... ich glaube heute würde ich ohne layer clip verzweifeln, weil es einfach soo~ viel schneller geht^^

Promet-he-us In reply to Lodchen [2012-04-05 14:10:51 +0000 UTC]

Noch habe ich es nicht ausprobiert - aber es kommt ja Ostern. Ich habe aber den ersten Eindruck, dass es mir ganz genau so gehen wird...

Hehe Sehr gut möglich, ja.
