Hey, just wondering if you could give one piece of advice/Tip for PS what would be your Top Tip!
One of my faves is to flip the canvas horizontaly fairly often, It amazing how mistakes and areas that need work can jump out at you when you see your art from a different perspective.

Look foreward to hearing yours! :D

Always do adjustments (ie curves, levels, etc) on a new adjustment layer, never directly on the layer you're working on. Nothing quite as frustrating as deciding that particular adjustment wasn't quite right and having to go way back in the history to re-do it entirely, rather than just double-clicking the adjustment layer above and tweaking it easily.

Yup id agree with that, Ive usually got a whole pile of layers going on whenI work, I would add that if your drawing a character or similar keep them on seperate layer to the background, saves trying to select around the foreground (character) and makes it soooo much easyer to mess around or change the background.
Nice Tip :clap: :D

I'd suggest learning some of the keyboard short cuts as they tend save time.
*Spinewinder:iconSpinewinder: Feb 24, 2008, 4:01:57 PM
Yes that is something I really should do. I have never really used them. I think its because I tend to work with the lighs off and cant see the keyboard that well! Nice Tip! :D

Don't use keyboard shortcuts while drunk. There's a tip to live by. ;)
*Spinewinder:iconSpinewinder: Feb 25, 2008, 6:39:20 PM
I find avoiding keyboards altogether whilst drunk is the best policy! :D

I totally agree here my favs are


Ctrl+D = Disselect (saves ages of times)
Crtl+A = Basic select all
Crtl+Shift+U= Desaturate layer
Crtl+U Colors and sturation
Crtl+L Levels and curves

Oh also my top tip would be to go get some good brushes this will notonly sync your workflow but make eveything sooooo much easier and makes you look pro lol.
