Creating A Moon

Anyways, this is the end result, I prefer the second myself, though both aren't all that grand, but they are moonish.

How to make the moons;

1: Use the circle tool in a medium light grey and make teh size of moon you want.

2: Fill in with a much paler grey.

3: Using the second choice spray paint and a darker tone of grey selected, shade in one side almost near solid colour and edge the spray around the moon to your liking.

4: With a lighter colour, add a highlighted area of sorts. touch up to your liking and tada!

You could probably use different colours and whatnot.
This is my first tutorial, so don't tell me it bites, I already know that. Just tell me how bad.

Abstraction Avatars

*Takes a sharp breath inward* Here goes my first Tutorial: Needed: Good Knowledge of Paint Tools

1. Click Image > Attributes > and set it to 75 x 75

2. Find a color (I used blue) and using the paint bucket tool fill in the ENTIRE space.

3. Using the Free-Form Select I drew a whole lot of squiggles with out letting go of my mouse. (Do not fill in the entire square with squiggles it’ll look bad!)

4. Then once you think you have enough squiggles let go of your mouse button and move the image around. Then click on Image > Flip/Rotate. Flip/Rotate as much as you want.

5. Open another Paint document. Repeat step 1. Then find the color you used for your first document and pick a lighter shade of the color you used. Repeat step 2. Move it around and then push (on your keyboard) Ctrl + c.

6. Flip back to your first document and push (on your keyboard) Ctrl + v. Set to the second option.

7. Then using your second paint document click File > New. If it asks you if you want to save it click NO.

8. Repeat Step 5. and 6. with an even lighter color. Do this as many times as you wish, just don’t cover the first layer that you put.

9. Zoom in 8x. Now you can be as creative as you want. You may copy the pattern I’ve shown below.

10. Zoom out and examine your new avatar.

Simple Textures

1. Make a new image and make it whatever size you will be making into a texture.

2. Select a color, for this tutorial I will be using green.

3. Select the fill tool, which looks like a paint bucket.

4. Fill the area with your color.

5. Double-click on the color you selected and a color window should pop up.

6. Click "Define Custom Colors >>".

7. On the area that shows an arrow and the color that you have selected, going from black to your color to white, move the arrow up a little bit.

8. Click "Add to Custom Colors".

9. Click "Ok".

10. Use the spray can and move across the area, coloring in areas, filling in more at different areas.

11. Continue steps 5 through 10 until you are satisfied.

12. Copy the area of your texture.

13. Copy and paste several times to create larger scale work.

Finished Texture:
