Underwater bubbles in Photoshop

Here's another one of my pieces I've created after learning from a tutorial I found on Worth 1000

I created the wrecked photo and depth by myself (you can find other tutorials to help you with this) but I created the bubbles and water using this tutorial:


Making Bubbles with your own custom Brush in Photoshop

Check it out!

I really like this one, because once you have done it one time, it is really easy to use again and again

If everything was made from chocolate....

Mmmmmm..... chocolate!

After finding a very delicious looking photoshop tutorial to chocolatize anything and everything you could ever imagine, I decided to give old Shepp the Dog here a makeover.

It was very time consuming (which is why I haven't tried it again since!) but the end result was worth it!

If you want to check out the tutorial I used to create this,

Their picture they use isn't as cute as mine :) but its a great tutorial!

Adobe Illustrator spirograph effect


Next time you are in Adobe Illustrator, try holding down the little squiggly key on the left of the number 1 key on your keyboard while you use the shape tool. It makes really interesting spirograph patterns!

more swirly curls in Illustrator

Here is another Illustrator tutorial on creating decorative swirls or curls or whatever you want to call them. This one is incredibly simple (basically 3 steps!), and I still find it very effective.

Visit Veerle's blog to see this tutorial!

Decorative swirls in Illustrator


This was one of the first Adobe Illustrator tutorials I ever did, and so I would recommend it to beginners. It is a very interesting technique to get those decorative swirls that everyone seems to use. And like any tutorial... it's all about what you do with it that makes it a good tutorial!

Space Art Photoshop Tutorial

It's probably about time I posted some of the fantastic tutorials I have found all over the web, so I will start with one of my favourites:


GREG MARTIN has come up with an amazing tutorial to create realistic planets using Adobe Photoshop. It is the tutorial I used to help me create my space image:

My next piece of space art

After such a long time since my first attempt at space art, I decided that it was about time I tried it again. So here's one of my new pieces that is now available on Shutterstock and hopefully soon on iStockPhoto too! I used both digital art done in Photoshop and a fractal made in Apophysis. Tell me what you think!
