Well , i know im new here , but i thought it would be nice to submit this tutorial here.

I know its not a great sig but i couldnt find a good render to use anywhere.

Ok onto the tutorial :-

[FONT="Courier New"]Here is the result of the tutorial http://www.ugt.clanspace.co.uk/sig/sig%20tutorial.jpg

1st open a new document into photoshop
http://www.ugt.clanspace.co.uk/sig/step%201.jpg

Next click the fill button http://www.ugt.clanspace.co.uk/sig/FILL.jpg

Press d if your colors arent already set to black\white.
Fill the background as black and you should get something like this (without the gray in it) :

For this tutorial i used the same brush , you can download it here Brush download (http://ugt.clanspace.co.uk/sig/brush.abr)

Once you have the brush installed , click once or twice then make a new layer , then keep doing this until you have 3 - 4 layers and a sig like this :

Ok onto the coloring , For each layer make a color balance :

Try to use different colors but not Really different colors for example aluminous green with pink.

Once youve done that you should have something like this :

Of course you can add your own effects and lighting and stuff like i have here :

Well that sort of covers it for this tutorial.

If there is anything you guys need help on ill be happy to help.
Im just finishing off my portfolio which will be up soon with free sigs and templates
Im also going to be making some more tutorials later on.


Err if the mods/admins want to edit this for spelling mistakes/grammer they can ( i know they do on some other forums ) :cool:

all you did was use basic brushes and coloring please move onto to filters makes them look advanced and better

also try using a simple 1px border
