Description Body smudge tutorial I just yesterday and had to redo twice since the power went out once and I didn't save it. Yeah, I should have been smart and save it every five minutes, but didn't.

First tutorial I've done in a good two or three years. Woot.

I will be making a mane and tail smudge/painting tutorial soon. Links will be posted here once finished.

Mane & Tail Smudging: [link]
Mane/Tail Painting: NOT DONE YET

Horse Stock:


If anybody has any problems with something in this tutorial and needs help, feel free to contact me through a note on here. I'd be glad to help fellow deviants and photomanipulators alike. :smile:

This will definitely help me out! I have Adobe Photoshop CS6, and I can't seem to smudge anything right.

Not at the moment, but I plan on having one soon. It'll probably be up when I'm on Christmas break since I have finals coming up. My Christmas break starts December 16th.

The-Lumos In reply to XFiVESTRiDESX [2010-05-13 15:16:40 +0000 UTC]

Can do. :]
It should be finished once I'm done with finals. Life is too crazy right now to get it finished since it's a tutorial and I have a bunch of other obligations to tend to.

This is perfect! My only problem is that I sort of have bad eyes and have a hard time reading the text that's right next to the side, since the side and the text are both white. Haha, don't worry, I'll figure something out. Great result though!

Heehee. Thanks.

I'm planning on doing a mane and tail one soon. It's in process as of right now. I'm hoping to have it up in a couple days or less since I'm busy doing a collab with another person here on dA, Eltear.
