TBCS Art Contest I

[noopypoop]

Can you post one of those mysterious little counters? I wanna see how much time is left

Self taught. I also learned over the years of messing around. Soon, you'll find there are about 100 different ways to do the same thing. There's not a 100% chance one technique will work at all with another picture, let alone the same way so you work around it with other techniques you pick up.

tutorials are a good way to learn but more often than not, I'd rather do w/e they're doing a different way. They're good for ideas though or easy tricks.

EDIT: After staying up all night on photoshop... my entry is in.

Umm Greco, there is no image in that e-mail, unless you count the smiley....

Noopy, i don't do timers Its 1 week 1 day left.

[p0Pe]

can we make WIP threads?

[Greco101]

WIP threads?

I'm surprised more people didn't join in? Maybe we can up the prizes on the next contest to maybe get others more motivated? Personally, the 2 months thing is great for me because I could use it on a resume. The metal and reps are a bonus too :o)

I'm curious...where did most of you guys and girls learn Photoshop? Self taught? Books? classes? What worked best for you? I have a copy and I've really been trying to get in to it for a few years now...but I don't learn very well just out of a book.

Self taught. Just mucking around with it will probably help you learn faster and more than anything else. I was in some digital graphics classes at school but I'd already leant by then everything that they tried to teach me, so you're better off just experimenting yourself.

P.S. I don't think anyone here has a more or less likely chance of winning, because it's not just about skill, but ideas and everything else that makes it look good or funny or whatever. It's community-voted anyway, so whichever appeals most to the community, will win. (I'm not too fussed about winning anyway, I'm in it more for the fun and procrastination from homework.)

That and crushing your enemies into a fine pink paste right?

So... any chance of a deadline extension so I can get something in?

As far as learning Photoshop goes, I've taught myself up until now, and next year at school I'll be taking a class on it (Photoshop, Illustrator, Autodesk VIZ, Adobe Premier). Should be a hell of a class.

This may be annoying, but yes you can have an extension to
