Making perfect repeat patterns in photoshop – Part 2. So, yesterday I posted my tutorial on how to make repeat patterns. I also posted the same tutorial onto deviant art. Today one of the members, who goes by the name of Percomis, commented that there is in fact a far easier way to do this. So i am in his debt for his great advice! I’m leaving yesterdays tutorial as it is however, as it will help you better understand the process behind pattern repeats. So here is the revised, and much faster way of making patterns repeat. Make a new image 600 x 600 in size Draw your design in the centre of the image, without letting anything touch the edges. Now here is the clever bit, that bypasses all the tedious guides, cutting and aligning that I made you do yesterday… Go to Filter > Other > Offset Use the values above.
Now continue filling in the centre of the image with more of your design. I created a few other colour ways for this tile, and saved them as a pattern set. Paint Bucket Resources.

Helping icon makers one tutorial at a time. - Textures/Brushes Guide. The last image is always the finished icon.
PART 1 - BACKGROUNDS//NEGATIVE SPACEI included this part because when I looked at the examples I chose, I realized that most kinds of textures work best if your image has an empty background. If you use textures on icons that already have a lot going on in the background, the icon often tends to look a bit cluttered. In the following, I'll describe briefly four different techniques that explain how you can get rid of the things in the background and create a nice and even one. Example #01I am a lazy person by nature, so I tend to choose caps that already have a nice clean/empty background (at least around the subject). For example, in this cap (from homeofthenutty). I used the smudge tool (using a soft brush) to smudge the white background around Jenny's shoulder (#2). .psd files- layers only- complete Example #02I swear, I don't know why I felt the urge to remove the entire background of this cap (made by me). .psd files- layers only- complete to.
Helping icon makers one tutorial at a time. - A Quick Guide to Understanding the Channel Mixer. An explanation of what colour channels are, and how to use the Channel Mixer to manipulate them. General theory, translatable to all programs that have the Channel Mixer tool. So first, what exactly are channels, and why are we mixing them? Well, it has to do with the way that colour images are stored and displayed by computers. To be stored by a computer, an image has to be converted into a binary sequence of ones and zeroes, or 'bits'. If you use a single bit to represent each pixel, the image can only have two different colours, '0' and '1'.
Using two bits per pixel, you can have four: '00', '01', '10', and '11'. With 8 bits, you have 28 possible values, or 256 shades. That means that a greyscale image stored in an 8-bit format will look perfectly smooth. So to get full photographic colour on-screen, we use a system of representing colours called the RGB model. When you split the colour data up to work on one set at a time like this, the individual sets of values are called channels.

Many events are happening at the same time, and it can seem overwhelming. A single mistake on your first drawing can wreck the rest of the scene.
However, the process can be broken down into a series of steps which can go some distance in simplifying the process. A walk cycle can be described by four distinct poses: CONTACT, RECOIL, PASSING and HIGH-POINT. These four poses and a handful of inbetween drawings constitute a walk cycle. Here is the contact pose in front and side view. Look at the pose carefully. Some animators think that the recoil and high points are the most important poses because the head is at its highest and lowest positions. When the right foot is forward, the right arm is back, and vice versa. Another name for this is “Torque”. Why animate in place? Muscle Tutorial thinger. This came about after talking to a friend who said he wanted to improve at art but didn't know how to break out of his rut and try something different. I started drawing this as a "this is the easiest way to draw a relatively satisfactory cartoon head" thing and it just ballooned out from there.
It doesn't cover proportions and stuff like that because there are a billion billion tutorials and anatomy books that can tell you "a person is so many heads tall, a head is so many eyes wide, ect". I made this because no one else seemed to have a quick reference for origin and insertion points. This has been up in my DA gallery for a while, but people have been asking for a printer-friendly version so I'm uploading the individual pages here.
