Hi I was wondering on how people photoshop great artistic sigs. Do i just do it out of the open or take random pictures and put them together? Can someone explain how you do it? Thanks

Just try out different things on PS, see what you like.

Practice, practice, practice. There are also tutorials if you want to search on Google.

Yup, read some tutorials online, of video tutorials on youtube. I've been doing it for years, just takes some know how and creative input.

Practice, tutorials, practice, practice. Pretty much what everyone else is telling you, there's nothing much to it. Just work with things and see how you like it.

Not really. I picked it up with infrequent use. It just takes time, but not necessarily a lot of concentrated time. >_>

Just start with a base image, build layers upon this and add effects.

I heard practice makes prefect, but I think this is a job only the mythbusters can handle.

Just mess about with all the tools and see what they do. Read up on them if you can't figure them out.

Lots of practice, reading about it, watching tutorials.. Also a tablet helps. If you have one it makes things like drawing and shading, coloring, much easier..

I don't know, I'm not that good yet. Started using PS after getting this account in Gamespot, since then I've played around with it every time I want a new sig.

Tutorials helped, think I found some useful ones at devianart.com

And here you are, posting away on GS- I am envious of your obviously rich "life". I learned photoshop through doing web design, making hundreds of dollars an hour. So, in other words, go to hell you arrogant pos.
