More tutorial Stuff!

This was the before:Before

This the after:

Touchups are fun because of just how much work they are. It was neat to follow. Honestly there was nothing wrong with the before, only nitpicky things. And there’s some things I wouldn’t have done like the shadowing on the cheek, but whatevs. I’m trying my damnedest to go by the actual thing instead of winging it. Oh, and there were supposed to be some highlights on her nails and in her hair. I missed something along the way though, so f it.

 

This one’s actually my favourite:

You would not BELIEVE the amount of layers this one has. The editing was absolutely amazing and tedious and all kinds of fun. Again, I was going by the tutorial, but it allowed for a ton of leeway so it doesn’t look like their “after” but I don’t care. So far this was the most fun of all the ones I’ve done. But I also love this look, it’s almost like a visual version of glitch electronic music stuff.

See ya later, tutes.


Started in on some of those tutorials I’ve been wanting to do. My goal is to do them all in order as I find them.
I already skipped the first one. Not because I didn’t get it, but because I didn’t finish it before I was all “Yeah, got this.” So, you know, that’s another thing to improve on. Finishing things.
ANYWAYS.
Duotone tutorial. Silly, really, because everyone knows it’s more than just flipping off the colour and then messing with …colour. But it’s still nice to go through the motions, everyone has a different way of doing it.

And now it’s all not even the same! WHOA.

And then a thing where I messed with some things and merged some things and toned some things and did all kinds of things to other things.
Finished (2)
Exciting stuff.
I like tutorials though. They give you practice that you wouldn’t have given yourself normally. So it’s silly to even post them here, but this is, after all, a timeline for personal use more than anything.

Authorising...

Just a little somthin' somethin' to keep me sane occupied. 







Slacking on the 'Make Something Awesome' front. I can see all the imperfections here and they bug me, but once I start blogging it, it stays. That's my new credo. Starting now. Because I'm lazy busy.
