Does anyone know a website that you can download GIMP that does give your computer virus , cause i tried to find some on google and i downloaded it 3 times but i couldn't download it and it has virus . and i have no glue on how to do anything on photoshop or adobe fireworks .

The best place to get it would be the GIMP website http://www.gimp.org/ I don't know if you've tried it If you try to download anything it is quite possible that you may get a virus from it.

I hoped this helped

some small tips from me.

Try to blur the shadowing a bit on the leg
and the arms look a bit...how do i say..mechanical... try smoothing them down like an arch.

But yes, it is a very good pose Neriah

Yup! I agree.
I also have a few extra tips

I think you should add more shading, like to the other leg and body, blur it or smudge it too.

Also the shading should just be a little teeny weeny bit darker. Like the same color as the shading on the face.

First off, which program do you use? I used Adobe Fireworks CS3.

http://photo.missbimbo.com/2/957/moy/765053.jpg

This is how I did it:

- Firstly, using the pen tool I created my desired shape.

- Then I chose my colour (I usually do everything in different shades of black, makes changing the colour easy.) I then created a new layer and started colouring. I then draged this behind the over layers which the pen tool created. Rub out any colour outside of the lines.

- After that it's pretty much the same as step two only this time it's for the shadows/shading. I chose a darker colour than the main body colour and in a new layer I lay down my shadows. After this I then drag behind the pen tool layers but BEFORE the main colour layer. I then choose 'Gaussian Blur.' Rub out any colour outside of the lines.

- Repeating step three only this time it is for Highlights - so do the opposite for the colour ---> a colour lighter than the original colour and place this behind the shadow layer.

- Create a new layer, I then drew in detail using the brush - pockets and the zip covering thingy Then using the circle shape I made a button.

- Then after this I created a new layer (as always ) and then going to my brush shapes I selected in 'Air Brush' - 'Texture' and coloured all over the trousers. I then rubbed out the excess colour around the outline and dragged this infront of the main body of colour.

- Using your own initiative rub out anything that you feel doesn't belong.

Hope this has helped!

I use GIMP, but it seems to have a lot of similar tools to Fireworks, cos i used to use Fireworks in my ICT A-level.
Thank you for helping me!! I will try it out ASAP! Will come back once i have tried it and show you my bad handiwork!!

i don't have photoshop, but i downloaded PhotoScape, and it's very good program!!
now i can make a lot of banners, but i want to learn how to make backgrounds!

Hi guys Wanted to ask you some advice on my first pose. I know where I did tweaking and stuff is quite obvious, I'm working hard to fix it.

Also, don't have the big black shadow, as Blsk says it can be hard to see where to draw

I can try and help with this one hon..
I do layers.. the base layer with min. shading a dark shading layer and then a light layer.

The base layer has minimal shading just so I see the lines (Creases) I want to make darker. then I blur it a bit so it is not so sharp of lines.

Second layer, I select the base layer so when I am drawing and smudging it is not so messy.  I have a larger brush (size 8-9) and the sharpness on the brush is about 25.. I then go along the bottom edge of dress and the outside edges, I then make the brush smaller (2-3) and make the lines I want my folds to be in the skirts.. THen I use gaussian blur.. (1-2) and then use my smudge brush to drag the lines up and down so you get the depth of color.. so it is not all the dark.

I then do almost the same thing on the light layer.. but not along the edges or bottom and use I (1-2) size brush and where the top of the fold on gown would be is the light color, gaussian blur then smudge. I then set the layer property to screen and move it behind the dark layer.
The dark layer I will change properties too Multiply and lower the opacity till it looks like silk or satin.. you just play with the opacity and smudge tool till it looks just right..

Big key is to make the light layer color a bright light color not a dull light color..( I added examples )
Hope this helps hon
