Thanks. I guess I was still having some tech-difficulties with that.

Thanks =)
I'll make a more intricate one sometime soon, since I'm getting the hang of more detailed CG's.

I (finally) got around to reading your tutorial. :noangel:

Great job! It was interesting, though I don't use Photoshop much and I've never tried to CG anything so I didn't understand half of it, but that's okay. :lol:

I noticed before that there were no legs in the earlier version but I never mentioned it to you because I thought it was intentional (that you cut the drawing off at that point). :P

Two small things:
1) There's a typo in the "Choosing A Light Source" section: "Making the transparent" -> shouldn't it be "them"?
2) You put a glowing orb in her hand to obscure the fact that "you can't draw hands," but in doing so you forgot to take into account that a glowing orb would have its own light source, which isn't reflected on the drawing! If you look at the shadows on her clothes, it's as if the orb isn't glowing at all. :drop:

Well, those are just two minor things I thought I'd point out. Don't worry about them unless you're a perfectionist for that kind of stuff. :D

1) Yeah. I tried to proof read most of it
2) I never noticed. I'll eventually have to
fix it.

One typo in such a long tutorial isn't bad at all. :lol: And you don't HAVE to fix the lighting thing, but go ahead if you want to. ^.^

Well I was almost an english major, you know. :lol: Actually I don't care about the typo, I was just pointing it out for "thoroughness." :P

lol xD

I'm kinda surprised that I only had 1 typo
in that entire thing. Usually, it's 2 or 3 xD

Pronounce it like thorough, with -ness added to the end. :p

"thurrow-ness"
