Manual for ginnyweaslyfan to create fanart and icons:
1. If you don't have a Photoshop download one from here or there:
(Photoshop is a program with which you can editar and create different artworks. There are many tutorial vídeos on youtube if you've got problems using it)
link link 2. You collect some fotografias and pictures online. Of the person or character you want in your fanart.
3. You open them in Photoshop in a new project. Its size should fit your preferences. Like, if you wanna make a desktop you'll want to have a background of 600x800 pixels or so. I you want an ícone it'll be 100x100, and so on.
4.Then you cut them and mount them according to your taste. You can use various effects (lighting, color, blur etc) to improve it and the you decorate with text, brushes, mais effects and everything you like.
5. You save your work in the appropriate file format. If you are finished you'll select .jpg or .bmp or .png. If you wanna keep working on it and apply farther changes later you'll leave it .pdf so that seguinte time you'll have all the layers.
6. When finished you upload it here so that we'll see it.
7. There is no need to worry if it doesn't work out at first. I spent 5 years learning to use Photoshop properly (that's partly because it's an English version and I'm not native, so I had to learn the photoshop language too). Practice maked perfect, don't forget that.
8. Good luck and enjoy your work!
