Crochet an Android Robot

Thursday, 01. 7. 2010  –  Category: Tutorials

I love the Android logo guy. He’s adorable. So I thought I’d make a stuffed one! A break from the usual Photoshop/After Effects stuff for something a little cuddlier. He’s not too hard to make, but requires a bit of improvisation.

Okay Paintings

New Photoshop Tutorial! Give pictures a convincing “painted” effect. This technique works best with images that have large, clearly defined areas.

The results may not make people think you’re the next da Vinci, but they might make them wonder if you actually got out a canvas and brushes for once. With any luck, your local coffee house will be begging you to hang your work on their walls!

New Tutorial! Make text look like it’s been stitched onto fabric. Useful for sports design, sewing/scrapbooking, kids stuff and anything else where you want a handcrafted look.
