untitled Posted by: Lakshal Posted date: March 6, 2012 | 9 comments Tags: actions, mulletgod, photoshop A few years ago, I decided to make some Photoshop actions to make editing a little easier for people. There are so many simple things that people do in Photoshop that are tedious because of the click, click, click, drag, click nature of things in the software. Actions help with automating the process, doing much of the hard work for you. I had a website dedicated to these actions but that site was hacked and subsequently infected my main wedding photography website which obviously was not a good thing. These actions are completely free of charge but I would love it if you could make a donation to Médecins Sans Frontières if you enjoy using the actions. Download the actions here Please note, The readme document contained in the ZIP file should have everything you need to know and I can’t offer any support for these actions anymore so please do not contact me asking questions!

Tutorial Tuesday: Foreshortening Tricks Hi folks! Tutorial Tuesday is going to be a basic one – I’m a bit under the weather currently so this may not be the best post, but I want to give you something that I feel is important in the world of drawing – some pointers on foreshortening. Check this out. Foreshortening is basically an optical illusion created from a compressed looking drawing in perspective. There’s several ways artists choose to render their drawings using foreshortening. Receding Plane Technique Scruffy Ronin uses a method that relies on a drawing a flat plane that recedes into space as a boundary.
