Hey @ the person who sent me the ask for any tips/tutorials on how to make gfx: 

im still kinda intimidated by photoshop and have a long way to go with editing but ill try my best to answer! i don’t think i can give a very technical tutorial, but i’ll share my experiences and hopefully it’ll help.

For me at least, I kinda saw an improvement in my gfx quality once I started learning how to make gifs properly in Photoshop and tinkering with colouring/adding overlays. While gifs kinda make Things ~spicy~, they’re also super annoying and make my already slow editing process about 9000x slower so the choice is up to you if you want to incorporate them into your gfx!

HMM Additionally it depends on the aesthetic you’re going for in your edits. What inspired you to make it / Are you going for a theme or AU / A set of images or just one / How complex or simple do you want it to be / What colours do you want?? Tbh mostly what I did at first was merely adding gradient maps & changing blending mode.

I also have a private pinterest board and a sideblog to reblog gfx or other things that inspire me. I don’t really follow tutorials but it might be useful to try them out; itsphotoshop is one of many tumblr blogs that have a whole host of useful stuff from tutorials to texture packs.

But to be very honest most of the time idk what I’m doing until I get some semblance of something decent lmaooo so just have fun! Play around with textures/overlays/adjustment layers till you’re happy >:)
