Its nice, but you just seem to be putting single brush pieces onto a canvas.

too much of easy work to be rated, sorry.

I know you like you simple style, but try some tutorials of different things, grunge effects etc. You'll pick up some good techniques on the way and you can use the different techniques to create something you like yourself which is better :)

Thats what im currently doing at the moment anyway, i do tutorials then after iv followed it and completed it, i try some of the techniques i'v learnt and create something i like.

(although if you think i suck at photoshop then dont do as i advice lol. - hopefully im better than when i started though)

- Google.com and search for tutorials if your gona ask where to find tutorials from.

You are such a hard critique for such a inexperienced designer. You seem to think you know it all, it isn't all about tutorials they do not teach you to be creative, but to follow uniform styles. I've never once followed an entire tutorial, so I really cannot see how it is so important that other people do.

I do like this piece, and it's of a higher standard than most posted on these forums, I just think that if you are going to add vector to something, you should try to make it merge with the design. The arrows an circles in the corner are fine to use in a piece like this, but you must spend more time on the placement, as they just look like they have been put there to take up space. If you are stuggling to fill the canvas, try to work on the main feature in the piece, add to it, and fill it with as much detail as you can, this will draw a focal point, and if it's good enough you won't even need to add anything in the empty space.

Good job and keep at it :thumbup:

Dont care what you may think, i agree with my own personal choice, you can rate it as well or as badly as you like, and ill stay with my rating and advice to give.

Im sorry but love has alreayd asked on another psot how to merge layers etc, and i actualy learnt how to do that from tutorials, so i believe if he went through some tutorials he could learn alot.

Sorry but not everyone can jump into photoshop and do everything without help.

- maybe im inexperienced but im still entitled to say what i like thank you very much

- The tutorial but wasnt ment to make them creative, it was merly to show new skills which cant just always be asked for on lomcn as im sure after people had asked something for the 5th time you'd be telling them to go google search and learn for theirselves.

Im sorry but the internets there to be used, and the tutorials are there to be learnt from, weather you'v used a full tutorial or not its my advice.

Tofas. Grunge is my least favourite style of working m8. Ive only tried vector and abstract so far but i look at other peoples grunge effects and dislike them.
Woo 2 lyrical for giving some real constructive crit.
