Audacious Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Here are some of my tutorials, they are rather old. One is nearly 4 years old. Starting with the most recent which is old about a year and half/2years. Video Tutorial Sig Techniques Topics covered - Smudging - Displace Filter - High Pass Filter - Spatter Filter - Glass Filter - Curve Layers - Clipping Masks - Spatter Brushes - Lens Flares Tut is a little long (30mins) I also tried to get a slightly better quality at the end so it's a little bigger than my other vids. There is no preview image because it is the techniques you are learning and how they work in sigs. http://rapidshare.com/files/209989246/Sig_Techniques.wmv ---------------------------------------------------- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9281/departedtutyh8.jpg Labeled PSD http://rapidshare.com/files/209993149/Departed_PSD_Tut.psd ---------------------------------------------------- http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4418/alphachannel.jpg ---------------------------------------------------- http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/5687/lennytuthe7.png http://rapidshare.com/files/209990473/LennyPSD.psd ---------------------------------------------------- Beginner Tuts Colouring http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/1700/colouringer7.jpg --------------------------------------- Depth http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/6258/sigguide5onmr4.jpg --------------------------------------- How to add a Border http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8977/addingabordercopyyg0.jpg Smudging http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8853/smudgex.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cacky Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks a lot, I've needed some advice on smudging for a while now, great tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audacious Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 No problem, smudging is just about practice and being a little patient. Keep trying with different brushes and smudge strengths I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audacious Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Glad you found it helpful I was going to make a written tut on my current sig. I dunno tho, they take a while when you write them and I don't know weather or not it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 It's incredible how you can make a generally good sig with only a couple of steps 0_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Very nice, I am going to try out some of these things tonight! Thx for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffTech Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hmm... it's abundently clear to anyone who has seen my sigs, that smudging still isn't my friend! As such, I hope to take a lot from this. Thanks for the tuts Biff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyGuyGary Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Nice tuts. Could you give some good smudge brush settings please? Because on every smudge tutorial I find, they do some great smudging, but because they don't tell you how to get the brush they used, yours looks nowhere near as good.

Audacious Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Nice tuts. Could you give some good smudge brush settings please? Because on every smudge tutorial I find, they do some great smudging, but because they don't tell you how to get the brush they used, yours looks nowhere near as good. Well when smudge sigs first came out many years ago (yes I was there lol) It was done using triangles and other basic shapes. So the Lenny tut of mine was based around that, I just used a cross shaped brush, you can make your own or use a shape then change it into a brush. It all depends on the effect you're looking for, in that sig I was going for a hard sharp look so that's why I chose a straight edged brush. But most of the time I just use the default soft edged round brush and just alter the settings from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebmob Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) I've needed some inspiration lately, all of my designs feel too bland, I feel like they are too similar. I will try some of these tuts out later, and see if I can better my skills in the long run. Thanks Audacious [Edit] I admire a lot of your work. I felt like saying that?!

Audacious Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 The vids back in the day brought in loads of members, it was a great way of advertising forums. I only did it because not many people where doing it back then and it was quicker than writing an in depth tut lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
