Okay Your gonna improve :)

Now. when doing beams.
make sure you use the PENTOOL.
Youtube always helps.

Okay heres what i told slim about GFx.


Brushes: You NEED to download more brushes to make better Pieces.
The Defaults are good but you will neeed more.

C4D's: There are abstract type pictures to help add effects to your sig.
On some sites... Such as Planetrenders. They are called Abstracts. Using these well will deffinatly help your sigs.

Bg And render: Need to blend together. Useually it looks best with a More blurry BG blended into a Sharp Render. Smugging and the right effects can Help this.

Text: needs good placement, Font that looks good with that sig, good size And Proper colors and effects. It will vary from sig to sig. Good Text can really help any GFx. But if the text isnt working. Take it out. it will only make it worse if it doesnt look nice.

Border: I belive almost EVERY sig needs a border of some kind. That is my Personal Thought. not every piece needs a border but i think it looks better.

Color Balance: When the colors Flow It makes everything Better.
after your all done the best way to go about color balance is by clicking Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E To apply image. then Click Ctrl + B to do color balance. just experiment.

Lighting: I think this is the Hardest part of a sig Besides Text. If the lighting is off. People notice. Specially the people that count. GFx Team People and Really good Graphic Designers Will ALWAYS notice. This is something That i ALWAYS have trouble with ahha. But get it down and its another great part of a sig. Burn And Doge Tools Help those minor lighting effects.

I hope to see you improve dark :)
BTW for using the brush tool Those beams are pretty good.
I dont think i could do beams with a brush tool hah

BTW if you need help learing,

1. Youtube
2. A gfx Site
3. Tutorials
4. A GFx member here
5. Im always open to help :)

Also A sig usually Goes somewhere around 380 x 120 - 420 x 150
Thats just on average tho :P

free-form is basically a normal brush...
