What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 3 weeks 20 hours ago

Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

Okay, well, obviously, I need help. How do you make a wallpaper? What do you use? I mean, I know you need an image editing program like Photoshop and a scan but what else? Those 2 things can't be all! And can you make a wallpaper in paint shop pro? What are the basic things that you need? I have paint shop pro so I don't think I can use textures and photoshop-only stuff. So do gradient in PSP count as texture in photoshop? Brushes, do we need that? And what about the background? Like this wallpaper for example:
User posted image
How do you make the trees, do you have to hand draw them or is there a trick on how.
And how do you make the lighting and the color at the bottom to be like that?
Again, I would appreciate any kind of help at all to get me started and I don't expect to get as good as the person who made the wallpaper above but I'd like to have a good start.
Thank you very very much.

Well, I guess you need a scan, an editing program and an idea...or some inspiration...otherwise you can't do anything, don't you think?
I don't know PSP so I can't help you...
and if you need any help you have to check some tutorial guides...
that's all for me, I don't think I have anything else to say...

Session Zero is only for having your wallpapers evaluated not for asking complex questions. Asking how to make a wallpaper is like asking how to make a website. You first buy/download the tools: Photoshop, learn tutorials, have an inspiration, and just practice, practice, practice. No one is a waller firsthand. I suggest you join the wallpaper groups here at AP such as the Photoshop Lovers, The Resource Pool, to name a few. Good luck!

CLOSED.
