I always feel like we have such a great mix of artists on this site: some newbies, some established veterans, and lots of people in between. No matter where you are on the spectrum, however, there are always new things to learn, things you can’t figure out, or things that just baffle you. And that’s what today’s discussion topic addresses.
What are some things you always wanted to learn how to do? What are some of your favorite tutorials? Places you go when searching for assistance? Where do you go to get fonts? Textures? Stock images? Come and share your knowledge and show us your favorite techniques.
My call for assistance will be in the comments. 
*waves nervously* Hello!
A little new to this site and still figuring my way around. I found the site through my friend DirtySituation and finally signed up with the intention of entering the drabble contests.
So here I am!

Welcome to my little twi-world!
My introduction to the twilight world was through seeing the first film on a random weekend. I can safely say I fell in love with Peter Facinelli, brought the books the next day and read them within a week!
My obsession over the next two years grew from strength to strength until I discovered Twilight conventions in the UK and I’ve never looked back. Twilight’s brought me some amazing friendships that I wouldn’t swap in the world and they introduced me to this world of fan fiction.
My first fan fiction was Master of the Universe and then Clipped wings and inked armour. I lose track of all the fics I’ve read since then and then a friend persuaded me to write my own. So here I am!
I’m completely Team Carlisle but for the sake of the trend, let’s say I’m Team Edward!
Stories include:
Introducing Bella Swan: Porn Star: Isabella Swan’s adventures through her career. She’s supposed to teach Edward the business, but might he teach her a thing or two instead? Humour and occasional angst. Mature content. Rated M for lemons. Drabble fic.
It takes two to teach love: Bella is a newly qualified English teacher and thinks her boss Edward Masen is obnoxious. Is there more to him than meets the eye? Can the pair find common ground or something more? A/H.
Trapped in an elevator: It’s Mary’s first day at the office and she’s receiving mysterious emails from the boss. But what happens when they get stuck in an elevator? AH story. Rated M for lemons. Collaboration with LissyLock.
I hope everyone enjoys my stories, everyone’s reviews make me feel amazing and always inspire me to write more.
Happy reading!
ok … so I will admit freely that I’m not a manip fan, but sometimes you have no choice but to use them. So I find pictures and I play with them. These are a couple that I worked on that I would love some constructive criticism on. I have no idea how to use shadows or anything so if you can offer me tips / clues /tricks that you use when creating a manip I’d love it. The only thing I’ve ever used was the lovely Ms.A’s tutorial on here so help me! LOL Thanks everyone!
One of my readers, who also happens to be my sista’ from another mista’, made me a banner! She sent it to me today, and it totally made my day! I’m showing it off here.
This is the first time anyone has emailed me out of the blue and said, “hey, I made you a banner cause I love your story.” I’ve done this with other authors’ stories, but never had it done to me! 
I reworked my banner.

This was my third ever attempt at making a banner using GIMP, and I want to thank everyone for their advice and comments. The general consensus was that the font just wasn’t right. Not only was it too hard to read, but it didn’t mesh well with the theme of childhood reflection, so I made a few edits from this:

cheesy graphics make me smile
A week or so ago (I fail at being timely), we all showed off our pretteh-pretteh banners. But this week, we’re going in a completely different direction. Let’s talk about some of our other work…you know the ones I’m talking about. They’re those banners that you sort of cringe when you see hidden deep within the recesses of your computer, or linked to an author’s blog or story. They’re the ones that, for whatever reason, just didn’t turn out as you planned. Or maybe once upon a time you liked the banner, but after some time passed and you learned some new things, you realized that you could make it better.
Pick three to five of your least favorite banner creations and tell us why you don’t like them. We’ll offer encouragement, critiques, and maybe even some inspiration. Tell us how you would have changed the banner if you could do it over, what you thought worked and what didn’t.
Some hot Rob fyt.
