hedda cosmos_gate@yahoo.com said on 2009-06-23 00:06:05 I like the concept. :) It might be useful if all of the brushes and textures are posted at the beginning of the tutorial. Also, naming the layers things like "girl" and "newspaper" would be less confusing for beginners (and me, lol). Keep up the good work! |
