Photoshop Tutorial : Photo To Lineart To Brush
I did a tutorial called photo-to-lineart and realised that I should have taken it one step further and showed you how to create a brush from the lineart. It could come in handy for doing a grunge type image or something similar. You can start with the image below to practise on if you like, […]
Cleaning glue off a DVD/Blueray
OK we’ve all come across, at one time or another, if you purchased used DVD’s or Bluerays, glue stuck to the DVD/Blueray ( from this point going forward DISC will represent both ) .
