How do you make them Blasted? Like the cartoony ones, what software is used? That Ronaldinho one is just superb.

the ronaldinho one is really nice... I really like it.

But just a question - why does it say Gaucho in the shadow part. As far as I know Gauchos are only people from Argentina.




From wiki:

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (born 21 March 1980 in Porto Alegre), commonly known as Ronaldinho (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁonawˈdʒĩɲu]) or Ronaldinho Gaścho,[2] is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Flamengo and the Brazilian national team. He is a two-time winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year, awarded to the best player over the year. He won the award in both 2004 and 2005.

I take it you're trying for a caricature? You're almost there, but not quite. I've not drawn many caricatures, but the principle behind them is simple: keep everything as close to recognisable as possible, yet distort the most outstanding feature on the face as little or as much as you like. I think you're sort of caught between keeping a likeness and trying to hard to distort every feature. Keep everything soft, especially the eyes. Keep the face essentially the same shape as it would be in life, though again, keep the edges soft.

Bit like yourself as regarding PC issues, French, so I've not wanted to open up Photoshop for a while as it becomes a bit of a bollox to work on with this fuckin PC. My new one is sitting here waiting to be put together but for a heatsink not fitting on the board. Anyway, I pulled out the tablet to draw a quick caricature. Draw a very simple shape of the face first, and then the features after. When you've done that, you can play about with each feature to get the effect you want as opposed to trying to draw it all at once. Keep it simple.

love you r work before i say anything else! 

The close up of the eye... instantly Suarez, unmistakable. the others... looks goofy, kind of clueless, comic, inept? ( the caricature not your drawing)... part of his character (limited views ) is he is always scheming, working an angle... The eye portrays that for me, the other bits not so much. Would chop my hands off for your talent....ah.. that doesn't work does it! keep going you will crack it.

That effect is usually done in photoshop using the Threshold settings of a photo. There is a free online photo editor that you can use - once you open a photo if you go to Adjustments > Threshold you can play around to see the effect: http://pixlr.com/editor/

It takes a few steps to get to the final product so this video tutorial may be useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXuGWGWyPvE

Do you make lots of banners? I've got an idea for one but not sure how to go about making it so if you've got any tips that would be amazing.

Jesus those youtube jobs were an eye opener. Crapped myself when I saw the price of Photoshop though.

There's ways around that. Why pay extortionate prices if all you're looking to do is adjust the contrast in a photo or two? Download the trial version, then download a crack when it runs out. Or you could just do what most people do and just torrent the full version.

Or use GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/ for the simple stuff?

Another option is to just use something like gimp (http://www.gimp.org) its free and open source is more than adaquate for just having a bit of fun, actually it's quite powerful.

But if you want the raw power of adobe then Macphisto's route is the one. Tho you could just try turning back the clock on your comp when your trial runs out, works somtimes.

don't be, I'm glad for Suarez and Carroll. I'm done obsessing over torres now that we have them two in our team. Worth the trade.
