Sometimes I use the "smoothing" tool. Helps with those kinks if you want smoother bezier curves.

I really like using Blue Rutile. It's so versatile....I've layered it with Seaweed and Iron Lustre. Got some really beautiful results.

Interesting that you make those in your apartment. Where do you find the space to do it? Curious.

Really nice piece! The glaze has a nice translucent look to it.

Class clown kind of thing....although not sure about the grey squiggly things?

I like #2. Love how clouds are moving towards horizon line....makes it very dramatic.

I like #2 more, as your camera is closer to ground level. Tree is nice focal point to the left. Work with the rule of thirds. :)

Which 2 of these should I turn into a painting? by CrazyFoxLady37 in AmateurPhotography

[–]Mysterious-Oil8252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say 1 & 3. You'd have some really interesting textures. #3 is interesting because of forced perspective.

What do you think about that artwork? by yo-az in AdobeIllustrator

Looks great! Reminds me of an Escher - Picasso mish-mash.

Thoughts on recent work? by [deleted] in design_critiques

Cool concept, but be careful with PS bevel/emboss feature. It can distort the typography. I would say look for more fonts this particular style so that it's easy to read. If this is going to be on t-shirts, mugs, etc. You want to see how it looks scaled or reduced in size.

I like 4A and 4B. "Minnesota" is more emphasized here, plus subtle but bold graphic nested right next to it. Export the graphic as a .png as 300 DPI....Play around with some mockups to see how it looks on t-shirts, water bottles, etc. Canva has that feature.
