Carl's Randomness! Updated 6/24: Frames!

<< < (38/38)

Ruffnut:
I didn't see shrek, my sister-in-law did and she brought home glasses so i went nuts I was lie i want to see if pictures work! D;

Carlwashere:
Hah, that sucks though, I don't think there's anyway to get some of those unless you have them already or make your own.  :p
Not sure how good the homemade ones are, I don't have any red or blue sharpies. But it's worth a shot.
Anyway, an update that's actually worth SOMETHING!

Well, while I was messing around with art, I've discovered several things that just make have a lot more emphasis, with not too much effort!
Hah, just finding out ways to be lazy... what a good use of time.

It's a pretty easy effect. Simply frame the subject, and overlap some of the border. It makes this nice 3D effect. I've been adding it to most of the portraits I've been drawing. XD

It's a lot more pronounced here, where two of the sections of the border are overlapped.
By the way, the background on this is placed in, she wasn't ever even close to this house.  :p

I'm thinking of writing a short tutorial on this. It's an EASY effect, one that ANYONE can do on their first experiments with a photo editor.
Would you guys like that? I don't want to put effort in when no one is interested.  ;D
FYI, the pictures themselves are not edited in anyway, I don't brighten my pictures, but it looks that way. I don't even sharpen them. heh heh.

Zggs:
If I had a photo editor (should not have taken me three times to spell editor right... :-\ )

miros1:
Yes, I'd like to see that tutorial!  Do you need pure white walls/floors in the room where the Sim is.

Carlwashere:
All right! :D
That's great, since that's the one I'm using.  :p
Ok, I'll quickly set that up.
A plain background helps, it let's you have more freedom and a lot less detailed busy-work.
But a real background can work, it'd just take a bit more time.
I'll go ahead and show examples of both.
And other things you can do to make it more exciting, solid colors aren't too interesting.
While it gets the effect done, there's a lot more you can do.
I'll post again, (or edit depends if someone replies) when I'm done.
