[Award Winner] Saderan – a tutorial

[Droden]

Nice job.

There are a few steps missing to make the tutorial do-able by a complete Photoshop newbie like me. For example, there are a couple placed that I'm sure I have to deselect everything (CTRL-D) in order to to get things to work as expected. I also didn't have any patterns by default, so I had a bit of trouble finding the Wrinkles and Rock patterns. A few more pictures of intermediate steps would be great, including some snapshots of the layers palet to make sure I'm on the right track.

Great tutorial, gonna try and take a stab at it.

One question though, can you provide some further specification to the terms "big, soft" and "small, soft" for brushes? As well as opacities that you use?

I ask simply because what you think is big and what I think is big might not be the same, ditto for soft.

Cheers!

Will be starting a WIP thread soon for this

If I might ask, where did you find the patterns? I'm looking for them as well.

edit: actually, nevermind! I was able to find them buried within CS4

Very good Tear
