I’ve been seeing a lot of perspective tricks pop up on my dash, so I thought I’d share the one I use when drawing backgrounds. I’m working with Photoshop CS4 here.

Good idea!

This would have saved me about a billion hours of my life I will never get back.

Holy shit.

reblogging because this is the most useful photoshop tip i’ve ever seen.

okay guys someone the other day asked for a bow tutorial so here it is! :> I hope it is helpful.

It’s not exactly the precise archery information and it’s not completely accurate for shooting. I tried to simplify things for artists and include what you guys need to know to depict bows at least a little accurately—and remember as always, references are great in addition to looking through tutorials

Tumblr made them weeny but the magnifying glass will take you to full view
