[6620960]

[SightreadingCreative]

Clearly presented and easy to understand.  Thank you!

[TehnickaSluzba]

[Ritujoy2000]

Thnx.. ;) 

[mtilli82]

Cool effect, and it seems to be very easy to proceed by anyone who has the Photoshop editing software. Good advice.

[TheOnlyOneTheBestOne]

@IceflowStudios your video is being shared on Adobe Photoshop's official page.

[harveykeefe]

A great tutorial. well presented. thank you.

[Dragonguy68]

For those of you stuck on the Stroking of the heart. Make sure that you're foreground color is BLACK. When in mask mode the black acts like an eraser. He didn't mention this but hopefully this clears things up.

[DBAsare]

@Dragonguy68 Thank you thats what i needed

[acdf3107]

@Dragonguy68

Thanks a lot!!!

[Reisagainsthemachins]

what you pressed in 4:28 ???

[lightshadown]

@Reisagainsthemachins left or Right bracket, to increase or decrease the size of your brush, in PC you can do as well by clicking alt+right click and drag. in mac it dosnt works the click and drag trick, sadly, or at least i dont know how. enjoy.

[c00ltouch]

Why do you make it so freaking hard to find the snow picture?

[tashabun03]

@c00ltouch where IS the snow picture?

[tashabun03]

@tashabun03 Nvm found it!

[c00ltouch]

@tashabun03 yeah me too, but took some time!

[lightshadown]

@c00ltouch for the snow picture i think, you should look on howards page, there you might find the directly link.

[lilrufukitty]

[Midori21]

[MrStev96]

thank you very much!



[xXChenzXx]

[johnj189]

When I try to stroke the path with the brush, nothing happens. My history bar says it was stroked, but nothing shows up on the heart. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

[DijitalBiscuit]

@IceflowStudios Help, how do you stroke the path ??? Great video btw "D

[msaqlain]

dude, your brilliant!!

[trevath]

Can you tell us how you would do the same thing with text? Say you typed the word "SNOW"... I can make a selection and convert the selection to a work path, but I can't get the brush to apply to the mask like you did with the heart... Love your vids, thank you for all that you do!

[IceflowStudios]

@trevath After you type out your text, right-click on the text layer in your Layers Panel, and choose Create Work Path. That'l give you a path to Stroke.

[tedirelan]

"The Path"...is that what the kids are calling it now-a-days? lol

[doraKingful]

awsome tutorial!!!. i dont know how he rebembers the color numbers :D :D :D

[IceflowStudios]

@doraKingful They're written down. I record the audio for the tutorial first. :)

[Freelancer919]

U are an artist :)

[Witto22]

I stroke it every day

[TheDarknessArrives]

When I Applied the Brush to the Heart, It did not Looked like your Brush when you applied it. I went to check the Brush settings again and they were the same as your settings, but my Brush looks more Blurry when I apply It. Please Reply, I want to make this Image for my Girlfriend and I want it to look perfect like how your Image looks.

[IceflowStudios]

@TheDarknessArrives For those experiencing this issue, make sure your Brush's Opacity and Flow are both at 100%.

[tirathmistry]

[chaddr18]

[chaddr18]

i stroke the path and don show anything and i have selected with the broken frame

[IceflowStudios]

@chaddr18 Make sure your brush color is set to black, and you have a Layer Mask applied.

[IronLikeALionZion]

Im not sure if i was stroking it correctly... 3:55

[Privatvergnuegen]

Damn you are good!!!

[zvolencan1]

You look a bit like Zdeno Chara. :)

[MrAkross]

Very usefull thanks alot!

[iLavneb]

@GwFragg I had to put the snow brush on by hand and couldn't do it with the pen tool it just wouldn't let me......

[VAGELIS199]

first time i see your face :D

[AlbyDerapage]

very very nice tutorial :)

[Karokendo]

STOP SOPA!

[1234cvh]

3 people can't use photoshop

[iLavneb]

is there a way we can do this to text?

[GwFragg]

@iLavneb

yes, of course. type your text, right click the text layer in your layer panel and choose 'rasterise type'. however, you wont be able to edit your text when your finished, so think what your going to type carefully.

[embraceky]

Awww the result is very pretty

[LlamasAndZombies]

Crap, I really need to learn basics first.....

[mayrey1]

Awesomeness

[xThExJacKx]

when your selecting colours how do you know which numbers to put in for the colour?

[TheRealGeriBoss]

IceFlowStudios, 2012: "making love with snow" =)

[VideosMiscellaneous]

I followed everything exactly and when i go to stroke the path i press return and noting happens. What did i do wrong??

[EspeshallyWittyTV]

Stroke that path, Howard :)

[mranthonymcneil85]

Mann I so wish I had your skills.

[mikeprdct22]

[gregaaron89]

[ArmedFlag]

Awesome tutorial! Very helpful :)

[liquidus2172]

lovely couple ^_^

[tastetherainbow4321]

[bee5120]

I don't have a Valentine's this year. . .

:(

[Shaarme00]

I LOVE this idea! thank you so much for sharing! ^O^

[nonatanoftona]

Can you tell us 'why' you make those Options "numbers" in the custom Brush setting ?

Great tutorial btw ..

[IceflowStudios]

@nonatanoftona Mostly trial and error.

[sLapMeWitHaFisH]

hi, glad to see ur videos as always.. can i ask u what type of text/letter u recommend me to use for write something there.

[sgtm1775]

@sLapMeWitHaFisH Whatever looks nice to you should work just fine.

[tedirelan]

@nonatanoftona many people like to follow along with tutorials very precisely. If he were to just say, "chose a light blue", many people would be unhappy with their result because it doesn't look just like his. I'm not one of those people, but that should answer your question.

[kReEaYtEr]

Remember, guys. You can do this with text, too!

Command+Click or CRTL+Click the icon of the text layer to select it, then go to your paths tab (by your layers tab), go to the bottom and click the "Work path from selection" option.

From there, you'll have a path and can simply follow this tutorial!

Enjoy! (:

[miame0071]

with what program you edit your videos? Thank You

[IceflowStudios]

@miame0071 ScreenFlow.

[Picotee810]

very nice, me likey.....*__*

[tzouzi]

we need to stroke it..THE PATH.. we need to stroke THE PATH!!! LOLED so hard->fell off my chair !! awesome tut Howard!

[IceflowStudios]

@tzouzi Hope you didn't hurt yourself. Thanks! :)

[ninjahameboy]

hi, i have been following you for ages now, i prefer video editing but i still love to learn about photoshop :) i really hope you reply to this as you know loads about graphics. anyway what tablet do you use and what would you advise for a beginner (that will last long) plz reply cause im having difficulty finding one i know will be good :)

[IceflowStudios]

@ninjahameboy Wacom makes the best tablets out there. I use the Large Intuos, but as a beginner, you'll probably be okay with their Bamboo line. It has less pressure sensitivity levels, but you may not need very many to start.

[slevarn24]

THATS YOU HOWARD! (Tom)

[LeonaLewisvidz]

Great video, gonna use it right now! :D

[TalentkeyMedia]

Excellent tutorial as usual. Keep them coming!

[ThEePiCgOoFyKiD]

heart shaped clouds?

[KVfilms]

Great tutorial!

[enjoydotcom]

Hi Howard, I'm a longtime fan of your tutorials. And I like that you get your images from Deviantart. However, could you mention that Deviantart is not a free image site. Of course there are mannnnny stock photo's. But there are also people who don't like to see their work pop up here and there.

I trust you already know this, but the random watcher of your video's do not know it.

Sincerely, a deviantartist.

[IceflowStudios]

@enjoydotcom I understand that. I only use images which say they're available to use.

[nemesisN3]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Will try write a lady's name in the snow with some piss style, I'm sure it will impress her, I'm so romantic :)

[agon29]

Can I have PSD file please ?

[agon29]

@agon29 P.s I LOOOVE your tutorial,been following them for a long time ,never got disappointed. <3

[matheusrl1]

Make that the brush opacity is set to 100% before stroking the path.

[rockhopper123452]

what do u use to record i dont see any recording software on your taskbar

[IceflowStudios]

@rockhopper123452 ScreenFLow.

[rockhopper123452]

@IceflowStudios why cant u see the screenflow icon on the top i want to do that

[IceflowStudios]

@rockhopper123452 You can turn it off in the Preferences.

[MrPKick]

How would you do a picture so it looks like there is footprints in the snow?

[IceflowStudios]

@MrPKick You could probably use the same method.

[kickit246]

Forever Aloooooone..... lol put that pic inside xD

[skinhoe]

awesome, again!

[akomrofl]

Where can I find a tuortial Of how to use the T toolz ( Writing ) made by you?

[IceflowStudios]

@Neil197 Someone's been disliking my recent videos right when they upload. Probably a competitor. :P

[TheMatt7000]

@IceflowStudios Some people dislike our videos as soon as they go up too. I wish there was a way to know who it was so you could just block those few people.

[IceflowStudios]

@TheMatt7000 Yep! It's unfortunate. :(

[ChRiSiMoN]

Wow the result really looked awesome!

[IceflowStudios]

@ChRiSiMoN Thanks!

[PostItsDead]
