Lol, well I've been doing gfx+web designing for about 2 years and I learned in all sorts of places. Generally google for tutorials then learned everything myself. You know, played around with the program.
photoshop isn't the only program that can do those *cough* gimp *cough*.... but I see where you're coming from
Wow. Everything is amazing! I wish I could do this. I'm not good with graphic designs yet. Bravo, though. I'm highly impressed!
I mainly use Photoshop CS2 but I also do use Paint Shop Pro 7.0 sometimes. & folks, my portfolio has been updated! http://www.succexy.org/gfx/
OMG Succexy, your work is absolutely AMAZING! I swear on a scale of 1-10 your work comes out 1 point higher (11/10) And all those were made by you! BEAUTIFUL!
