I need a feather

namvet · 03-03-2003, 03:07 PM

I am hopeless at drawing things ... and my attempts to produce an original feather in PS have failed as they all look like leaves [confused] ... so I hope someone here can help

... image needs to be approx 150x200 pixels and it needs to be either a black or yellow feather

Welcome namv.... Hey, you're not a new user [bustagut] B7 .

I haven't tried this tute yet though it's been with me for days now [confused].

Here's the download link. Your hand's not good you say. Give this a try, it looks easy. Enjoy and hope this helps.

dv8fx ... thanks vee .... but it seemed to be the right forum for the request [confused] ... have looked at the tute and it looks good for making wings but doesn't solve my problem of making a single feather that really looks like a feather ('cos that's what the gif will be ... just one feather) [shhh] [innocent]

That's true. But try taking the techniques and doing a single feather.

Just an idea

Go to a craft shop or molest a birdie and steal a feather

j/k.When you get your feather put it on your desktop and study it carefully and work out how using what you know about PS Ian can you best re create what you see in front of you

Try a slash type brush as well
