Well hello again. It has been a while. I guess I should tell you what happened. Remember way back when I posted last. Well in that post I had a measuring chart. If you missed it then go check it now. Well I guess nobody told Mr. Wolf that this was going on the internets. When he started getting jokes about having baby parts well he wasn’t too happy. I should have known that this was going to happen but I care about you guys more and my blog needed the pic. So my doorbell rings. I usually don’t answer the door but I know is girl scout cookie time and I’m all out of thin mints. I’m getting all giddy getting my money and race to the door and open it without any hesitation. Ahem Mr. Wolf wha…POW!!! Thats all I got out of my mouth before he was attacking me. He beat me around the hands face mercifully. I could tell he had done this before. I’m just glad I hadn’t showered in a week and so I was good and stinky. That was my only way I could fight back. I just let him get all stinky. I actually think he got the worst of it but I was unable to type until now. I did what I could but I was no match for the wolf rage.

Moving on.

Tutorial time. Well it is finally time to release this thing. I was going to have one big release with all the tutorials but writing just one tutorial proved to be more difficult than I had expected.

So this tutorial is for the Kids I met at last years comic con. I was handing out the really cool Mythoi posters that Jed whipped up and I got asked how we get the art into the computer. These are things I guess I just took for granted that most people knew. I did my best to explain the different processes but I could tell that it was just too much without any visual aids. This tutorial is what I came up with out of that encounter. I do my best to give you a quick way to get some pretty decent line art that is ready for prime time comic production. I encourage anyone to take a look and give it a read.

Below you will find two downloadable files. One is just the PDF and the other is a bundle. The bundle has the PDF and all the artwork I used to create the tutorial so that you can follow along.

I hope you like it and give me some feedback. I will be updating this thing and I can implement some of your suggestions.

Here is the PDF right click to save as

Here is the Complete Bundle

Well I guess thats it for this weeks Geek. I hope you like it. Next week I will be posting the Gimp version of this tutorial. Why gimp well because its similar to Photoshop but its fee. I’m Street Fece and I’m OUT!!!

I love Macro Photography. I find them to be one of the most interesting of photos to look at because they give you a glimpse into a smaller world that cannot see with you naked eye. There are also some things like big spiders that you just wouldn’t want to  put your face up close to even if you could see the detail without the need of a nice camera lens.

So what is Macro Photography?  This has to be one of the simplest definitions. Macro Photography is close up photography. Wow some definition. How bout we just enjoy some great macro photos now.

If you feel inspired after seeing some of the pictures above well then here are some great tutorials.

If you have an iphone then your in luck. A lot of people are posting great tutorials for getting macro photos using the iphone and the solutions are fairly cheap and easy to do.

Code Retard: Using a telescope lens
