fun! did you use a pic of a bike and lay the paper clips over it? if not, great detail!

Hi bjaockx, At first i did think about doing the layers thing but i thought that would be a little too unchallenging so i grabbed my bike and created it by drawing what i could see in front of me. If id done it the layers way, i would have known that all the effort i went to to include the gears and chain would be barely noticable, lol. Anyways, this is why i say i thought this may have been a little too ambitious. I realise that most people on here could have done this with a picture of a bike in the background so I chose another way. Thanks for your comment : )

spaceranger [lvl 22] [vp 1000] [ 54]:

Nice work, good idea! The shadow seems too wide since the highlight on the snake is on the left side of the image the light source is from upper left placing the shadow below and to the right. I really like the work on the head especially! Minor point about mask work, check the top edge of the sand dune.

CMYK 46 [lvl 20] [vp 1000] [ 44]:

Good job, but your light source is opposite the highlights on the snake.

I am absolutely new to Photoshop, so I only used the buttons I know. Probably did it the hard way. *shrug* Hope you like it.

spaceranger [lvl 22] [vp 1000] [ 54]:

Cute idea! I think you should put the shadows on a multiply layer. A simple way to do shadows is to put the shadow color (i.e. blue/black) solid on a multiply layer, then use gaussian blur to soften edges as needed, finally adjust layer fill or opacity to lighten shadow as needed.

freakin hilarious! check out some tutorials on the site here, they will help you learn some new tricks... and how to not do things the hard way....

mymyb37 [lvl 31] [vp 2000] [ 499]:

Very funny. Ok advices: to mask objects, try the pen tool (you will find great tutorials on this site) To create a shadow and not a "halo" as you did, the burn tool is a good simple option
