Ｄｉｇｉｔａｌｌｙ Ｄｉｓｔｉｎｃｔ: Signature Tutorial Thread

[Erwin Smith]

Any feedback on this? I made it for someone in exchange for 10 wishlist items. I didn't request them, it was just what they chose to give me. But I still feel a bit guilty at accepting payment for a beginner signature like this.

Taking payment is solely up to you :)
If you want to take it, or charge it; you can :P
Your signature looks really good for a beginner signature. My only complaint is with the weaving, though this comment would be more personal visual of what I see weaving to be.
Weaving is used to show that a figure is off the canvas, so 3d in a way. An example of weaving in real life is a cat near a pole, wit it's tail behind the pole, but the cat itself is in front of the pole. With the weaving of the horse here, it looks like it is zigzagging through an obstacle course with all of the poles in it because of the layout.
So, for the pony; you can have it so the legs on the other side, the legs furthest from the view we see it, hidden by the poles, so it does look 3D.
Of course, this is more personal view of weaving offering as a suggestion.

I agree with Levi Ackerman with the weaving bye everything else looks great

[~.disengage.~]

My image, after about 1 to 2 hours, becomes an error and will not be seen. Help?

Did you save the image to your desktop then upload the image to Tinypic or Imgur?

Yes, I'll try one more time.
If it doesn't work I thinks its my crabby computer.

Impromptu addendum to the weaving tutorial:

Weaving borders through images looks great... usually.
There's one key factor that beginner weavers tend to overlook: foreground and background.

...

Let's weave some borders through this image.


As usual, I will make a new layer and

paste the tiger on top of my original image

(just the tiger, not the snowy scenery around him)

so that I can place borders behind and in front of him.

[Confused? Stop by the border weaving tutorial.]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Notice that this image has parts that look

closer to you (foreground) and parts that

look further away (background).


The goal of border weaving is to make

the foreground pop while making the

background look like it's more pushed back.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The following picture shows an incorrect use of borders.


Here, the borders look like they're pushing the

tiger's head back whilst bringing his rear

forward, which is contradictory to what's

really going on in the photograph.

The following picture shows the correct use of borders.


Here, the borders push the tiger's head forward and

keep his rear in the back of the photo where it belongs.


Do you see the nice 3D effect?

That is how almost every border weave should work.

[jaques]

The pictures are broken, I can't see the examples

[Falls]

Hmmm, that's strange. I know Levi can see them from his computer. Try refreshing the page or switching devices. Does your browser have anything against imgur images? Because that was the image host I used.

[watermelon.]

They work for me :3thanks for making hat! I tend to struggle with borders.

[jaques]

Actually I can see them now aha nvm ignore me. But I get it.

I think Roxy in my Sig is close to on point. I like the way her hand looks like it's about to clutch the bar over her hand. On the other dude, though, I see the problem.

I agree. Your Roxy is very on-point.
With image weaving, it is possible to make it so a specific part of the weave is not weaved.
It's a matter of perspective, what image is close and what image is far away.
If I may, Can I explain this using your Roxy image as a visual aid?
It's complicated enough for perspective to be a little bit difficult to show.

[homelander]

what sig should I make now?
