Hey Guys...

i was just asking myself how you do this arc's, bows, directed edge, curvatures... how ever you may call it.
i was looking for a picture to point on it, but i was tierd of searching so i took the first one, that came up with some of these bows. and thats... right... here.
As you can see, the upper and the lower half have this nice bows in the background. so... question is: how to do them?
i do know that there is a option to do that with the [pen tool], but i'm not very clear about using that thing. so my question is, i think, really simple: Is there any other way to do them? Maybe with a brush-set or something.
and if not... do you know any tutorial that explains using the pen tool?

Thx a lot!

Does no one understand what i'm talkin' about or is it just a fact that no one likes to help me? :/

I understood you but i can't help neither.

Thurgood

Damn! ^^
But anybody has to know how to do that, right?
I would really appreciate some help!

But thx anyway for tellin' me, that you can't help. ^^

i would like to know i think wnnrssn knows as he puts that sort of thing in his sigs but otherwise no idea

Wnnrssn

for the top,lightened,curved part of the wall u use the pen tool,make new layer click with the pen tool at the on end of the wall then click in the middle for example,then drag the mouse on one side until u get the wanted curve,then click on the other part of the wall,then right click "Make Selection" "feather = 0" and then u just fill it with white or gradient.

Thurgood

Nice one!
Thanks a lot, Wnnrssn!
It works!

another thing you could do is..

if you make a sig for instance.

make a new document at about 600*600 ish
take the circle selection tool and drag a circle so its big
then on the top bar click select and click inverse
fill that with a colour and drag it onto your sig and blend as you like

I get at... thank you.
