Advanced Signature Tutorial by Cloud Chaser
Today I'll be teaching you how to create a signature. Since this is my first time making one, I might miss out a few things here and there so BARE with me.
Though before you start reading, I'd like to tell you that this isn't a step-by-step, only people that are familiar with Photoshop would understand.
First off, you've gotta pick a resolution. I personally use these resolutions when I'm creating signatures but you don't have to use them.
Once you've chosen your resolution, find a vector of your liking. If you don't know what a vector is, it's basically a picture that's been cutten out by somepony with only the pony itself and nothing in the background.
Vector
I'll be picking Rainbow Dash because she's cool to work with. When you're picking your vector, remember to look for ones that fit your resolution. Just because it looks good doesn't mean it'll always fit.
Remember to position the vector so that it covers around 1/3 of the signature, like this.
And not like this.
Remember to re-size the picture within it's ratio or else it'll look ugly.
Now let's get to the background. It depends what you want but I'll just use the stock as the background. It's basically smudging it.
Once we're done with that, we can start adding those little details that make a signature stand out.
This isn't in order, so you don't have to follow exactly what I'm doing. Also, these things are only suited for this specific vector so don't do this for every single signature.
First, we'll start adding some sparks onto the signature. I used this.
Remove a few sparks that were covering her face and it should look something like this.
Lets start adding some lights. This is a huge part of the signature, and one of the most difficult. Since I can't run you ponies through the entire process, here's the end result.
It's a little bit dark, so lets brighten it up a bit.
We're almost done, all we need is the text.
I usually add a shiny border around it.
And we're done!
I know this isn't a step-by-step but I hope you learned something new.
And remember to give me a brohoof before you leave this thread!
