Plants and Water ContestHi everyone!A very Happy New Year to you all!I hope the new year has been treating each and everyone of you well. So far for me, it's a bit half and half lol.I missed you all bunches. School is starting back on the 21st January so my activity is gonna plummet again. So sorry about that.... but I this year I wanna start off with something new. Instead of a journal feature like I usually do, I'm going to do something a lil different. I'm going to host a competition.The theme is 'Plants and Water'.I chose this theme because, not everywhere in the world has snow and it'd be difficult to do a winter themed thingy.The medium is photography ONLY. You can submit TWO entries only.Entries must show water on the plant/ part of the plant. Parts of plants are acceptable such as leaves, stems, flowers, fruits etc.Here are some examples of what I am looking for: I will NOT be acce

PE: 10 tips and tricks not very known about PS10 useful and not very known Photoshop tricks1. Saving your .psd with all layers hidden makes a smaller file compared to saving it with all layers visible.2. You can use the Crop Tool to quickly increase the canvas size of an image by holding down Ctrl + Alt whilst dragging the Crop Tool outside the current canvas.3. If you want to see only one of your layers at a time, hold down Alt whilst clicking the eye icon of the layer. (do it again to show all layers again)4. Holding down Alt while in a dialog box turns the Cancel button into a Reset button, so you can reset the values back to default.5. If you want to just quickly check a very heavy .psd file, you can hold down Shift + Alt while clicking the Open button. This way Photoshop will open a flattened version of the file.6. You can change the gray background that surrounds your image with the Paint Bucket Tool, just hold down Shift and make click on the background.7. Not a very unknown tip, but if y

GratitudeNovember 21, 2012I believe in deviantART. Which is to more accurately say I believe in the concept and the reality of the deviantART community.When in contemplation of the eternal wellspring that is the deviantART project and how it has become the engine keeping my heart and mind on a full burn as I strive to be an upstanding member of the community as well as a helpful architect and eager participant in the conversation -- my thoughts inevitably settle upon my attempts to define my concept of Gratitude.Marma Lisa by *HenrySchreiberNo matter your medium of choice as an artist, your artistic intentions or the mystic guiding force that has led you to this community, there is one thing all constituent members have in common:A first step into this world consisted of a simple return to the practice of

Need textures?We had a feature of drawing references yesterday, so let's take a look at textures now. I must admit that I'm a total freak when it comes to this topic. I love textures, I love making them and I love seeing them everywhere. In this feature I'll also include some tutorials, traditional and digital, so you could learn how to make some on your own.TUTORIALSTEXTURES!Metallic Green Textures by ~Gypsy-StockOld Paper Texture Pack by ~nevermoregraphixold paper stock 03 by =ftouriniWood Texture by *TammySueSeamless desert sand texture by ~hhh316yellow texture by ~raregirl86yellow cracks texture by *ftourini-stockold map by ~Meltys-stockYellow fabrics by ~10grams-stockMerlin by ~dazzle-texturesBurnt Orange Patterns Part2 by ~WebTreatsETCOrange Grunge by ~R2krw9Red Velvet Textures by =RockStockRed Clouds Texture by ~JRMB-Stockexclusive red by ~valkiria-stock:thumb276819046:Pink Stripes Texture by ~emothic-stock:thumb110124321::thumb116788933::thumb154539504:purple texture by ~raregirl86Paper Pack 6 by =dierat:thumb167329623:old victorian blue by *ClarabellafaireStockMore Cement Floors by ~GreenEyezz-stockvintage blue texture by ~beckastexture 140 by *Sirius-sdzdark blue textures zip pack by ~BreedStock:thu
