Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:13 pm Post subject: Full Sig Tutorial For Beginners with Most Programs |
|
|
It was originally for Megume but I added it here so now you can use it, you should try one sig on your own before doing this tutorial, I edited it a bit
STEP 1
Start up a new sig, pick a size, ussually sig makers have a favourite size not to big but not to small, I like 350x125 pixels its up to you though
Ok first off, I think every sig I've ever made except my first 5 starts off like this: black background that should look like this
STEP 1
go to Layer>New>Layer (on top tool bar, it might be insert>layer depending on your program)
Then I do a bit of brushing with white for this first part I used a brush called: shiny_little_brushes, make sure to put the oppacity and fill of the brush of 100% (so its not see through) So... (use a few different brushes in your brush type try to not place them over each other too much but perhaps a bit just try a few things out) Heres what I got
STEP 2
Next we get our image
STEP 3
Next we add another layer (go to Layer>New>Layer (on top tool bar, it might be insert>layer depending on your program)) we put this layer lower then our image layer, then we use the eyedropper tool (the one that lets you select a certain colour from a picture or image) and take a colour from our image that we like and think will fit in, colour the whole page then change the layer type (I changed the layer type to Overlay, try out everything and see what you like)
STEP 4
that background now looks fairly kool but It could look better, insert another layer. put the layer above our last one, but below the image
do some brushing using a colour similar to the one you used before (you can take it from the image again if you want) Play around with layer type and the opacity of the layer see what you like
This step I end up redoing the most if I don't like don't be afraid to redo if you really don't like what you've made, but if you think what you've made is ok looking after 2 or 3 tries just use that. heres what I got:
STEP 5
add text make the text at least a bit see through or people may complain (I still don't know why but some people don't like things standing out to much)
Read this next part if you can't get your text to be seen clearly
Right click your layer on your layer tool bar and select blending options, then try a few of them (ussually just drop shadow works fine) until something work
STEP 6
The only thing left to do is the step I most often forget, make a new layer press ctrl+a to select your whole picture go edit>stroke change stroke colour to black, stroke the center of your image and make it 1-3 pixels wide (ussually 1)
There don't worry If the first time you try this it doesn't turn out great post the image anyways and see what other people think, then make your next sig

I undertsand it and I dont have PS, I use GIMP and I could make a pretty decent replica of it....infact, when I get home I will.
I also edited in a results section where you can put other ppl's results as they post 'em. _________________ Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No." They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father or President Truman. Decent men who believed in a day's work for a day's pay. Instead they followed the droppings of lechers and communists and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late. Don't tell me they didn't have a choice. Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloodly Hell, all those liberals and intellectuals and smooth-talkers... and all of a sudden nobody can't think of anything to say.

I would make a tutorial for animations but I couldn't figure it out ask Yoko about that, I didn't even get any real help on naruto-kun
about borders you must of missed this step
STEP 6
The only thing left to do is the step I most often forget, make a new layer press ctrl+a to select your whole picture go edit>stroke change stroke colour to black, stroke the center of your image and make it 1-3 pixels wide (ussually 1)
another thing you can try is making it 2-4 pixels wide, black and changing the layer type to overlay or lowering the opacity
also I've improved on the overlay thing I'll add the part I learned later _________________
