Description
---This is a surprise gift for all the people that have subscribed me!
Still don't know the last ones but i hope you like the gift
!---
This is an advanced layer tutorial. It will teach you how to use photoshop layers, the advanced way. If you are still basic inside photoshop i suggest you take some basic tutorials first.
excuse for the confusing guide, but deviantart didn't let me load images bigger than 10080x10080 pixels so i needed to
crop it up a bit.
---
!For those of you who can't read the tutorial because of to small texts!
Download the image, DeviantArt crops the full-size which is highly disturbing
---
I hope it helps!
And don't hesitate to send the results after you tried it!
Greetings,

Thank you very much for this awesome critique!
I am stunned you took the time to write it and take critique eye on my tutorial.
The size is true, after some hours of work i made a massive tutorial with over 25000 pixels in the height and i was caught by surprise that deviantart has an actual pixel limit. So i kind of sloppy, quickly resized it. I knew it would be less, euhm eye catching but i wanted it all to fit into one deviation.
As for the grammars, i'm dutch and got dyslexia it was quite unavoidable 
Glad you enjoyed it and i hope many others will do.
and as you might have noticed its not about digital painting at all. I just used a painting example, it would teach people how to use layers more than just a pile of invisible papers.
greetings,
Z

I love this tutorial, it's clear, concise and easy to read, and very informative. As a self taught photoshopper, there are big gaps in my knowledge, and even though I knew some of this info most of it was all new to me and very very helpful. I especially like starting with a black and white image and colouring it afterwards (although usually do it with markers) so I think this is just what I need. Great work!

Hello, I was looking at your tutorial and got stuck. In column 1 just under where you talk about hue/sat settings, you mention making a "map" by clicking on the "map icon". The picture just above this sentence has a picture with you pointing at "create new group" icon in my photoshop 5. Could you clarify if im using the wrong version of PS or what im doing wrong? I've even googled "map icon" and not much is coming up.
Sorry for the hassle.

If its any help i think zevenstorm means Folder instead of map. So if you click the folder icon you should get what zeven was doing.
But as zeven said, its the group icon, but it looks like a folder.

No problem, hope it sorted out what got you riddle'ed
if not im sure zeven is up to clarify it.

well i was looking for the map icon and he went straight into the textures. I think what hes doing is putting the texture inside the group folder?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well theres a few ways to do it, if you wan't to do like zeven does, then open the texture you want to add in another photoshop file, so you have 2 documents open, and then use the clonestamp like he explained he did.
What he did was painting the texture into a layer in the group folder, with the clonestamp.

I actully didnt get past the "map" part when it things didnt add up but i hope to work more on it later tonight i hope! This adding textures looks really cool! I like the effect it gave his work.
Thanks for the pointers i will check out both ways!

No worries, I read your tutorial and found it very helpful. You really deserve some credit for that. *thumbs up* (hope not i said anything wrong)

Thank you for your reaction.
I am sorry I think I wrote to much in the sentence of how I see the icons. The icon was indeed the group icon, I just named it map icon because it shows a map on the icon. Sorry for the confusion there

ok very good guys! Im a bit unlearned here so it threw me for a loop. Now i see you've made a group and going to put your textures inside the group. Very nice!
Thank You Thank you Ashie and zeven!

dude, thank you so much. this actually really helped me figure out graphic design a little more too, because I didn't understand that you could do that much with layers and I was doing everything manually or by hand

This is PERFECT! I made a gray scale digital painting a while back and wanted to do this, but I couldn't figure out how it was supposed to be done. After checking this out, I think I can actually finish what I started. Thank you!

I learned more about some stuff, so I think this is pretty nice. ^_^
Although... there were a few things I was a little confused about. What's the map icon? And what's a falue? Did you mean to say value, or is it something else?

If been corrected about the map icon already

She probably meant Value. It was probably a typo~
