NSL WEEK 214- Adobe Photoshop “Keyboard Shortcuts Webinar”

Last week I got invited to demo for the Photoshop and Lightroom Facebook Group.

NSL WEEK 212- Adobe Photoshop “Magic Wand Tool”

It’s time for MAGIC! =D

Basics for the Magic Wand Tool in Adobe Photoshop.

NSL WEEK 193- Adobe Illustrator CC “Blend Tool Options”

The Blend Tool in Adobe Illustrator is probably the oldest Live Effect but a very POWERFUL tool.

There’s so many uses and workflows with this tool that I’m going to be returning to it several times in the future. This time I wanted to focus on the basic blend tool options

NSL WEEK 192- Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 “Patch Tool Content Aware”

A couple weeks back I checked out the Normal Patch Tool and now I’m looking into the Content Aware version.

As per normal, I thought I knew all about it but I was wrong =D

NSL WEEK 191- Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 “New Art Has Basic Appearance”

I always tell people that Adobe Illustrator (and some other programs) are a lot like Zelda. The New Art Has Basic Appearance feature is a very Zelda type feature.

What I mean by that is that inZelda, you have to find all the secret spots by knocking on the walls =D  Check out the video above to see what I mean.

N.S.L: WEEK 105 – Adobe Illustrator CC: “Gears” Ai and VectorScribe DMALA Preso

WOW WHAT A WEEK!!! I was asked to give a quick presentation at the July meeting for Digital Media Artists LA. They asked that I show some quick ways to create Gears since the majority of the members work with Motion Graphics.

N.S.L: WEEK 96 – Adobe Illustrator CS6: Opacity Mask

I have this small notebook that I jot down “Never Stop Learning” ideas. Last week (wk.95) I needed a break from Adobe Illustrator so I skimmed through my book and found an old Adobe Photoshop tool I wanted to learn, Shadows/Highlights. While going through that list, I saw “Opacity Mask” for Illustrator. I knew I HAD to study up on it for this weeks project.

After watching so many video tutorials, I finally tried to create some for myself =D

In a comment, someone said it would be nice to see a tutorial on a piece I created for NSL week 66 called “Gray”. On this post I’ll show you screen shots of my work and hopefully you’ll be able to try it out based off that.

N.S.L: WEEK 82 – Adobe Photoshop CS6: Pen Tool New Feature and 3D

Last week, the coolest trick I learned in Illustrator was added to Photoshop 13.1 for Creative Cloud Members. So I studied up on the Pen Tool and tried it out on some 3D
