Anne of Green Gables Paint Shop Pro Tutorial #1

[ever_maedhros]

Made at the request of msantimacassar. I think you'll be pleased to hear GIMP tutorials for icons featuring Romola Garai are also in the works, since I couldn't figure out a way to translate this particular icon to GIMP. :)

Okay, today I'll show you how I changed this:

I LOVE YOU! *runs off to try*

[ever_maedhros]

I LOVE YOU, TOO! Hope your result(s) live up to your expectations!

[msantimacassar]

Okay, so it didn't turn out quite as I had hoped, stupid Gimp is missing so many features! At least now it has made me think about getting PSP or Photoshop...

[ever_maedhros]

I know! I've got a GIMP tutorial up now, though, if you're interest . . . :)

This is cool, great work :)

Thank you! :)

It's always so fascinating to get a peek at what other makers' techniques are!!!

[ever_maedhros]

It is, indeed! Glad you're fascinated. I was beginning to wonder if I rambled too much in the tutorial to hold even a patient reader's attention. :)

LOL I haven't even attempted to write a tutorial of my own to share techniques like this; most of what I do is so "fiddly" and YOU talk about rambling!! This is probably what each step of mine would read like:

"I chose to go with the darker, more subdued coloring in order to cooincide what is going on with this particular scene. The mood is so sombre, and that's also echoed in my choice of a smoky, gritty texture on the bottom right area...negative space also adds a "quiet" element of solemnity that I felt contributed to the overall mood I was attempting to achieve..."

I'd love to read a tutorial like that! XD

[lady_turner]

Love your tutorial! I'll try it soon! :D

Awww, thanks!
