anybody know how to make a hangmans noose?

Gaussian

There is no quick and dirty technique for that. You could do 3 things;

a) use a photograph
b) use a brush based on a photograph (not as easy at it seems, since brushes are gray scale). The attached image is such an example.
c) draw/paint it (not as difficult as it seems, especially when you a have tablet or a scanner to scan one of your drawings). Use a photograph as a reference to give you ideas how to draw it.

I found some hangmans nooses on the net, when I paste them to my image they are way too small. Any way to get the noose bigger? thanks

Gaussian

Yes, by resizing it: image / image resize It will a negative effect on the quality though. You might also consider to make one yourself (if you can find a descent piece of rope) and take a picture of it.

when I resize, the size is okay but I get a white color instead of the color that I pasted from. what am I doing wrong? thanks

Gaussian

I can't tell from the information you're providing what you're actually trying to do.

I figured it out thanks anyway. I think the best teacher is yourself just ex permenting

Hahahahaha ! whats the big deal,i found the way how to design yourself the rope....in photoshop ! yes i mean photoshop.
Have a look at the pictures i designed in photoshop.

Not bad, but it's not a hangman's noose. Also, if you show something, it would be nice to know how you did it, so that others can learn from it.
