Put a Fireball in Someone's Hands

Here's a written tutorial that will show you how to create a fireball in someone's hands. As we've featured a couple fiery text Photoshop tutorials, I thought you might like to try this one out. It looks like another terrific opportunity to hone your smudge tool technique.

For the tutorial, you will have to visit My Best Web Ideas site.

Fire Dragon Photoshop Tutorial

After my laptop went down, I had to spend some time looking for new wallpaper and discovered Photoshop Master Vlad Gerasimov's excellent site Vladstudio.com. His art is compelling and fun, but what makes his site especially good is how he provides Photoshop tutorials for some of his work. The only down side is that his tutorials are text based, not videos.

I think you might enjoy his fire dragon tutorial. It's pretty advanced, but he writes his tutorials well. Check out the fire dragon wallpaper here, then if you want to try your hand at recreating it, click here.

Thanks for the great tutorials, Vlad!

Fat-to-Thin Photoshop Makeover

This fat-to-thin Photoshop tutorial was just too good to pass up. The video is aptly named "The Magic of Photoshop." I'm not even going to attempt this one at this time, but it certainly is inspiring.

Now, if only I could find one that shows this process in reverse.
