Description So, ~StillRaging asked me to do a walkthrough of how I use grayscale, which is invaluable to smoothly shading difficult patterns and markings. The header font is Hill House and the main font is Cobain. I hope this is helpful for some of you!

Here's the finished piece, with links to everything:

Here's his HARPG ref if you're into that sort of thing:


If there's any other thing you'd like a walkthrough/tutorial on I'd be glad to make it

Other info: I use Photoshop CS5 Extended on a Mac. My desktop picture changed once every minute, I'm not manually changing it between screenshots

Download recommended.

Thank you so much for putting this up! This is so much freaking simpler than what I was trying to do! You are completely awesome and amazing!

Grayscale doesn't look quite as scary now o.o

You are so welcome! It was actually kinda fin to do and helped me stay focused since I knew people would really be looking at it I have no idea what all those other tutorials are talking about, but it does look like a lot of people go through a ton of unnecessary pain!

Good god, your art just gets even more incredible by the minuet! I may have to try doing some shading, you make it sound so simple.
