How to on Renders

[Koshka_Goddess]

Okay, I need to learn how to make my own renders cause finding decent renders of Aizen Sosuke is almost impossible. I have gone through several sites that offer anime renders, and after going through literally dozens of pages on each site I have yet to find anything at all. It is really frustrating and so I really need to learn how to do this on my own. I am a gfx noob who is looking to expand her understanding of the art.

pen tool.
learn it.
use it.

and don't complain about "how hard it is."

www.google.com and look it up.

and by the way, when making tags, don't put like 30 different renders in your tag. have one to focus one.

and NEVER, EVER, use comic sans on tags, EVER.

Honestly, I just learned pentool by experimenting. But hope this helps.

I also learned by experimentation...however for those of you elite, yet sparse, psp lovers...maybe this will help a bit?

Even after I started rendering I found it somewhat helpful: http://www.createblog.com/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=658

Thank you. I will look into this. I've never use the pen function before(yes I am that noobish-lol).

I use the polygonal lasso tool. Much simpler than the pentool, but sometimes you can't produce curves as well as a pen tool would.

[Koshka_Goddess]

Ooohhhh. Interesting. Thanks. I'll try that, too.

Trust me, once you learn pentool, you will laugh at the lasso tool. I actually haven't used that tool for well over a year; at least not for rendering and the like.

you can render any picture using the pentool in about 15 mins and it will look better than the lasso which will take like 60 million hours.

Thanks. I definitely plan on practicing the pen tool first since it was the first suggested and is so highly recommended. Thank you all.:ginn:

Kudos to all of you for your suggestions.

u can also try layer masking, and the magic wand!

lol@ magic wand. It renders like muhammad ali.

LOL, pen tool is where it's at if you're drawing anything (hard, but well worth mastering)
Pen can do things lasso can't

Polygonal lasso is important for my selections (easier)

They both rock.

the magnetic lasso pretty wicked too
