Artist's favorite quotations "Just remember that you are not here for the brilliant and wonderful students of yours, you are here for those that are not so good, the ones with the mediocre grades, for the boring minds, those students that can not always give the best answer in a test. The others, the brilliant ones, though it is fun to teach them, they do not really need you. The other ones need you. University, in which it worth's to teach (and society in which it worth's to live) is the one that has been designed not for the privileged minority, the smart brains, those that destiny picked to succeed-though every university and society has to have enough space for these minorities too-but for those that their names will be remembered through history only by their birth and death certificate" - Eric Hobsbawm
After a short period of absence, due to personal issues, I felt I should come back online in DeviantArt and work carefully on some specific requests that I have been receiving for the last few months.
You have asked me the two following questions (presented exactly as stated in your comments and notes):
1. CREATING BRUSHES VECTOR BASED a. How do you create your brushes? b. Do you use the pen tool? c. Can you make a tutorial on how you made the ornaments pack? d. These are all vectored. How do you do that? e. Which program do you use?
Answer: Most of my brushes are vector based. I am using Illustrator and Photoshop for the creation of the packs and my favorite tool is the Pen Tool.
And now comes the important part: I will make you a video tutorial from start to finish on how to create something like my ornaments pack, yet till then (as it will take me some time...i am really shy and don't want you to hear my voice XD) i have two gifts. You can download two different video tutorials, the ones that MADE ME start with the pen tool both in Photoshop and Illustrator from here: a. [link] (Photoshop tutorial/ a gift from a friend, so i do not know the creator of the videos T_T) and b. [link] (Illustrator tutorial/ free download from the wonderful Veerle's blog at [link])
2. STOCK PACK TEMPLATE a. I really like the presentation of your stocks. Did you make it yourself? b. How did you made your template of the stocks? c. Where can i find such a presentation? d. Can i have your template and use it for my stocks, please? e. Can you make me a presentation?
Answer: I made the present stock pack design after this wonderful and honest man `wroth said something like "you really need to change that template...as every stock deserves to be presented in a unique way". I thank him for sharing those thoughts with me and made me think about the importance of the presentation. The template was originally made in Illustrator and then transferred to Photoshop for the final adjustments. You can surely have my presentation by sending me a note BUT you can also read this amazing article [link] by the beloved `znow-white and get some ideas on how to create your own and of'course to download and use two of the most elegant templates that are offered to you for free: a. [link] and b. [link]
And now comes the important part: I made a Stock Pack Template FOR YOU [link] It contains the illustrator file, the psd file, a jpg preview and all the fonts used. You are allowed to modify it, change it, resize it, crop it, alter it ANY WAY YOU WISH, please feel free to make it suit you and only you.Oh, don't forget that you have to enter your own information in the specific sections instead of mine (insert the username, the date, the way you worked, the dimensions etc).
Hi. I think in my haste to thank all the stock I used for one of my pieces, I linked to *another* piece of mine, which I imagine caused a bit of confusion for you awesome stockers. Here is the correct piece. [link] Again, I thank you!
