Dang it!

I swear, I cant draw a good looking line. I am trying to replicate this image to learn how it was done! I just cant do it grrr...... Anyone have good suggestions to get quality lines like in the link provided? I would like to get some longer interweaving lines going on too. Any tutorials available on this effect? I have looked everywhere to no avail. Any help is appreciated :D Thanks


Beware: This is a pretty big file ;)

Well I dont want to download anything, but my assumption is you need to start learning the pen tool....

Try 3D - or learn a lot more Photoshop...

Thanks for the deep and insightful advice

well, I doubt anyone will download a zip file, so why don't you make it a .jpg or a .gif so people can just click and view it? :confused:

there. Go here

I still believe the most easy way to make this effect is in 3D... sorry, just can't give you a more deep and insightful advice

This is a good tentacle tute:

But like pixelchick said...you can get much better results from a 3d app...I did some one time with this semi-translucent raytraced chrome material...came out pretty cool

If you are just wanting to create a smooth line, Just click, hold shift and click again where you want the line to end. (if you are on a PC). Voila a st8 line. Now you can use the transform tools to manipulate it if you want curves. In that case you would be wise to start learning the pen tool. You can create very nice curves that way.

u could also modify the eplastc tut to come out like that if doen right.
