      Hi mate, hope you're good! I used a drawing tablet for pretty much everything I do in Photoshop - for this particular logo I was using a Huion Kamvas which I think I prefer over Cintiq's. You can grab a Kamvas for around the 500 quid mark and they are a worthy investment!

      Nice one mate - do you mean free transforming the letters? After rasterising the text layer, you can simply copy and paste them onto new layers and then manipulate them as you please that way.

    • @SpearheadMedia

      Unfortunately when texturing and detailing like this, if you warp at the end it will distort the texturing! Without the texture though it will certainly be no hassle to leave the warping until the end of the process

    • @SpearheadMedia
      @SpearheadMedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi mate, cheers for your comment - im afraid I don't have any experience using Krita, but when drawing with the lasso tool I intentionally draw as jagged and sharp as I can when making the selection before filling with black. I use a Huion Kamvas drawing tablet which is a display tablet and I find that helps achieving the real spiky edging. I hope this helps, and I encourage you to keep at it!
