Freebie: 26 Random Vector Doodlings

Hi guys, I’ve got a freebie for you!

I’ve made some random doodlings and converted them to vector format, for your viewing and designing pleasures! If you like the look of the preview image below, you should download the files and check ‘em out.

How to use them

Well, you can either download the .ai file or the .psd file, then you can open them up in either Photoshop or Illustrator, then get designing. A lot of these will probably work best blending them into the background.

How to make them

I made these using a permanent marker on paper. To make your own:

1. Use a permanent marker, paints, etc on paper
2. Scan it in, open the image(s)
3. Use the ‘live trace’ feature in Adobe Illustrator

Download

To download .rar files you have to right-click the link and click save target as or save link as.

Download the .ai (1mb Illustrator file)
Download the .psd (175kb Photoshop file)

Thanks for looking.

The Photoshop Anthology: Free Download

Hi guys, just letting you all know that the folks people over at SitePoint are giving away the Photoshop Anthology (digital format), at no cost.

This offer is only standing for the next 18 days, so you had better get downloadin’.

As far as SitePoint books go, I’ve only bought one once before: the hard copy of The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, and I have to say their stuff is top notch.

Nice ‘n’ Simple Subscribe Badges

There have already been quite a few tutorials around documenting the making of these sleek, supermarket-style badges, but none of them have made them into subscribe badges! Well I actually have no proof of that assumption, but anyway.

In this Photoshop tutorial we’ll be making those cool supermarket-style badges, then we’ll be turning them into subscribe buttons for your website, a must-have for any blog!

To Watch: Photoshop Video Tutorials

Here’s a couple of nice Photoshop video tutorials that you guys might like to check out! Hopefully I’ll have some more new content up in the next few weeks as well!

Learn the Basics of Curves

Very important tutorial. Curves are great for adjusting your photos and art works.

Digital Makeup with Photoshop (part 1)

Although girls don’t always need their faces beautified, this one may come in handy in case you’re ever working as the Photoshop expert for a magazine

Using Layers for Effects

Very interesting tutorial, particularly helpful for the newbies learning new effects.

Using the Extract Filter

Personally I don’t vouch for the extract filter, as I find the Pen Tool much better for cutting objects out, but you may find this good as a beginners option.

Aqua “Sphere” Effect

Interesting interface design.

Toning & Burning

Interesting, old-timey effect to add to your photos.

Turn a Photo into a Sketch

Very cool photo effect

CGing Manga using Photoshop

Please note: The author of the above tutorial has told us that the audio quality is very low, so you may need to turn up your volume.

Quickly & Easily Change Hair Color

A must-watch video tutorial if you’re a learning photo manipulator!

Creating a new Planet with Photoshop

Love this effect because it reminds me of the Heroes intro!

Making of an Abstract Art Piece: “Lonium”

In this Photoshop tutorial we’ll be walking through the process of making an abstract artwork, using abstract 3D renders, textures, and more.

Tutorial9’s “School of Photoshop”

David Leggett (GreyCobra) has recently started Tutorial9, GreyCobra’s predecessor. I’ve sort of been following it since the start, since the website looks top-notch quality, and also has some great, helpful tutorials on it.

He’s now taken Photoshop tutorial websites to the next level. What he’s done is made this ‘School of Photoshop,’ in which there are lessons, pre-school, kindergarten, 1st grade, and so on. It’s kind of like ‘You Suck at Photoshop,’ but this is actually helpful.

I recommend the Photoshop newbies definitely check this out, because this guy knows what he’s talking about!

Eery-Eye Photo Manipulation

In this Photoshop tutorial I will be walking you through the making of an interesting art piece, “The Eye, the Key of the Soul.”

In this tutorial we will use the burn tool, dodge tool, brushes, layer modes and more to add an interesting effect to an otherwise regular stock photo.

Design a Stylish Fashion Advert

In this Photoshop tutorial we’ll be designing a simple but stylish fashion-themed advert. You know, so you can sell sunglasses and stuff

All Things Designed: Free Seamless Textures

I was recently notified of a really cool website that has some free, top-notch seamless textures for free download. You can find these textures at All Things Designed. The maker of these textures claims to have been working in the texture industry for years, so you can trust that these are a pretty sweet deal
