This is my first attempt on a signature, don't hold back on the CnC because I need to learn, not be pro when I have just start making signatures. I wonder why I have tried out so many things this year.















Help me improve please! I tried to do it as easy as I could have and note that I took 5 hours on making a crap sig like this. I tried ripping it, it took less than one minute to change the text from 'oblueknighto" to 'mynameisbob'.







Order I did it in:



1. Use the brush around a little.



2. Shove some layers in.



3. Use the brush a little.



4. Put the render in, duplicate it so that there are three copies.



5. Started smudging two of the copies.



6. Brighten the copies, 100 and 50.



7. Smudge the original so that it blends in with the other two copies.



8. Smudge all three of them so that they make a kind of movement thing.



9. Put a light source into the original layer



10. Merge all the layers together.



11. Make the signature black & white.



12. Duplicate it



13. Gradient map it.



14. Change the one with colour in it to a 'colour" setting layer.



15. Play around with random colour related settings.



16. Smudge to fix up anything that didn't fit.
