Tutorial Showcase #18

Journals / Personal

I have been writing and showcasing tutorials for the past 10 years. Although I did take a long break from it at some point but now I would like to get back into it.

So sit back and enjoy - tutorial showcase #18 is here.

Theme for this time is:

Photoshop text effects

These days catchy text and titles for your webpage, flyers or digital art is everything. It gives your project a professional look and cool vibes. Here are 5 text effects tutorials you can check out. Maybe there's something you have been looking for.

Floral typography

Floral typography is a design trend that combines nice floral elements with bold typography to create some elegant designs. Learn how to create a piece of flower text art in Photoshop. This floral Photoshop tutorial will show you how to use a flower stock image, with some simple text and a couple of layer styles, filters, textures, and adjustments, to create your own flower typography design. Let's get started!

Grass text effect

Cool grass text effect you can make. It is very well explained and easy to follow.

"Envato Tuts+ has been around for many years. During that time, we’ve posted a lot of content. We know that the amount of content on our site may be a bit overwhelming to those of you who have recently discovered our site. That is why we have decided to periodically resurrect some of our older posts for you all to enjoy.

Today, we have decided to bring back a post by Envato founder, Collis Ta’eed, from May 2008, that demonstrates how to create a spectacular grass text effect in Photoshop. Let’s get started!"

Abstract shining text effect

A beginner level tutorial for everyone who aren't so familiar with photoshop yet but would like to make something cool. This one definitely teaches you some new tips and techniques you can use later on.

On top of that you can also download this .psd file if you happen to be a psdvault VIP member.

Easy nebula text effect

This nebula text effect is both quick and easy using a few simple tricks in Photoshop. The technique would work great for posters or book and magazine covers. Using the same basic techniques, it can also be easily modified by varying the text, brushes and background.

Cartoon text effect

Again a very well documented tutorial with easy steps to follow. I would say that this one is a good tutorials for beginners and yet with a awesome end result. It will just take you 7 steps to make something like this!

And that's it for this time.

COPYRIGHT AND ART THEFT

I’m writing this because of the number of features that are put on D.A.. I have done many in journal form to highlight or draw people to artists and writers they may not see otherwise. Each had no monetary value to me, nor did I feel that I was hurting anyone, just the opposite. Videos that went through YTube were private to my account and only accessible to DA members. They were not questioned in the journals and many people were happy to have their own video. When someone was angry, it was taken down, but I was still threatened and treated shabbily. Although I understand, some situations can be handled better. Now I will not do even a journal without asking the artist and keeping a record of the answer. Because there are so many features going up on a daily basis, it’s a good idea to ask. Most deviants are happy for the publicity. I’ve been featured over 100 times and have never been asked if it’s ok. What is DA’s policy with feat

References

References are something that artists have been using for years and years. They range from live models to photos to models/miniatures used to study light. When I draw, I usually use photographic references, so the bulk of what the article is going to talk about will be based on my experiences with photos. While they are not the end all be all--they are very useful when you can't build a model, have someone pose for you, or can't go out in the woods and look for what you need.
Why Use References?
Using photographic references will help you learn to "see". If you are stuck on drawing a hand, what do you do? Do you look at your own hand to help you? I often do. References help you understand the shape and form of something much like looking at your own hand. It might not be apparent at first. But breaking it down helps. I scribble all over them, trace the photo, break it into shapes, to get a feel for what I'm trying to draw. References, especially photographic ones

Crafters, be proud!

Artisan Crafts Week
I love to browse the Artisan Crafts gallery, read the artist's description and have a look at the comments people leave behind. I sometimes read comments like this:
"Wow! That looks great, like it's mass produced!""It's not perfect of course, there's some mistakes since it's handmade.""I think that the fingerprints/imperfections are ok, because they make it look handmade.""Crafts can't be perfect, we're not machines."
... and I cringe every time! Worst of all, sometimes it's the very artist the one putting down their work. I want to tell everyone to STOP thinking less of your work and your skills, and be proud of everything you do! I'm here to encourage you to always do your best, always appreciate your work, and always be proud of everything you do! Handmade is the best!!!

Handmade is always best
When was the last time anyone complained that their drawings aren't as good as a printer's? Or who ever s

Copyright Resources Compilation

Fan Art
When we talk about Fan Art, the question of copyright tends to come up. There have been a lot of resources posted on the subject on DA over the years and sometimes they can be tricky to find. So this is a comprehensive compilation on the topic posted by staff, who have had legal consultation. I have left out older articles that are similar to the ones I included as the more recent ones would have the most accurate information.

Custom Height Maps For Mandelbulb3D

Mandelbulb3d has several ways to render 3d fractals. One of them, dIFS, has the ability to make use of height maps.
This tutorial focuses on creating custom height maps.
This is not news worthy - MB3D artists have long made use of this technique. Recently my friend Jorge - batjorge - has posted a tutorial on using dIFS with a height map - the HeightMapIFS and the amazingIFS formula. The tutorial is meant to easily generate the classic bulb shape and it achieves this admirably. The height map in Jorge's guide is a uniform, gray image. This results in a clean and texture-free bulb form. But what happens if a more complex height map is used?
This tutorial will walk you through creating a quality custom height map and applying it in a MB3D dIFS render.

This image - New Heights - uses a custom height map.

A Guide to Art Programs

Hey~! It's LenaMoongrove here with another Tuesday Tip~! Last time I talked to you guys about Pricing your Art.
This time I’m going to talk about a subject that will speak to less people, but I hope it will still be useful to some.
Today's subject is : Digital Art Programs
I have seen enough people who want to start Digital and don't know which program to get. I've also seen enough artists who do not like the program they have or want a change of pace but do not know any other programs to get, or at least none that won’t cost them a kidney (I’m looking at you Adobe ):< ). So today I’m going to list a bunch of programs you can use to create Digital art, with some correct information, pros/cons, and my personal experience.
So, let’s get to it~!

Paint Tool SAI or Easy Paint Tool SAI is probably the most well known Digital art software out there (along with Photo

DeviantArt + Art Theft

So before you all jump and think I was stolen from, nope. I simply want to discuss some things with you all. Now, I read this article very carefully, a few times actually, and I read many of the comments.
A quick disclaimer: I am NOT a legal adviser. I am simply offering information based on my own experiences and talks with others on legal workings. With me creating my own comic and world, I am hyper paranoid and have done an incredible amount of research to try to save my own ass from headaches later down the
1. To all of you saying you are leaving:
Fine, go and don't let the door hit your butt.
You are being very immature and simply not taking the telling of laws to you all very well. dA did the right thing in my opinion to INFORM YOU of the laws and what they are legally required to do, which sadly is not much. Yes, there are MORAL obligations they have to keep this site clean and free from theft, however there are times where that doesn't

Ways to avoid art depression

Some Ways to Avoid An Art Depression
Source: [Link]
(reposted because I thought it’s time and needed again)
Ok folks, Maybe this will help one or two of you, who are too much into a depression.
It sounds silly for some, but respect that I write this for people who have some trouble.
When you find grammar mistakes, then sorry, as a german it is not easy writing so much english text.
1. Don’t compare your art with the best out there.
- A problem every artist has is that he compares himself in his development phase with artists who have their style or are big in the buisness. You cannot critisize yourself not being Picasso in the first day, guys.
Do a fair and reasonable comparison. Accept that you are on a special niveau in your development and compare yourself with people on your niveau. That means you have to search and work y

How To Explain DA To Your Parents

Community Week
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Moonbeam13 about volunteering for the Literature gallery as a Community Volunteer. And once the possibility started becoming a certainty, I got really excited, and wanted to share the exciting news with my family.
But then I thought, "how do I explain something like this to them?" And realised I didn't really know how to make them understand.

That's how I got the idea for this Community Week article.
I don't want to say "most", but a good portion of DeviantArt's users are young/teenagers. It's really important for parents to know and understand what you're doing when you spend hours on end on a computer, and sometimes, saying that you're on DeviantArt just doesn't really work as an explanation. Especially if the explanation follows with "well it's a website, I post my stuff, people fave it and comment on it, they give me watches and llamas sometimes too".
And let's face it, some parents aren't really that c

Sculpturally Aware in Western Civilization

Art History Week
Art-making is not about telling the truth but making the truth felt.― Christian Boltanski
It's true that we express ourselves through our art. Some do it through painting, some through verse, and some through another ancient art - sculpture. Sculpture has had a place in society since the time of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. It has helped us to understand the importance of historical events, and helped archaeologists map the movement and change of cultures over time.
While its modern aspect is generally simple expression, this particular art form has historically been used to enhance a supplicant's worship. In Asia, it has long been a means of exploring Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The Greeks and Romans, as students learn in their courses on mythology, sculpted stone monuments of their pantheon. They stood guard outside the temples to watch over those entering, and within the temples to make certain sacrifices were given properly. The Egyptians used
