Not sure if this belongs here but since it's regarding photo manipulation (which counts as graphic design) I might as well try.
So I like this genre of edits of women called "Natural/Modular Body Magic", which basically means that they look like they either had their heads magically removed or that they never had any at all but they can live just fine without them (like dullahans), but many of them are pretty shit so I wanted to make some good ones of my own, the problem is that there are no good tutorials online on how to make them, so I was wondering if you guys could guide me on how to make them.
Pic related is more or less what I want to achieve, something that looks relatively natural and organic, rather than just a quick and sloppy MS paint job.

I have a Wacom tablet but I can't draw for shit.
I can't look at the screen and draw at the same time.

Should I just pick a tablet with a screen, even if it's more expensive?

Play games with it, specifically city builders, helps you get used to manipulating the cursor and get used to not looking at it the same way you don't look at your mouse pad or track pad.
Getting an expensive tablet will not bless you with artistic talent, getting used to your tools and practice will.

Shoulder problem is clearly an issue with your ergonomy you dipshit.
If you can't use a pen I don't think you have much choices left in terms of your future career prospects and hobbies.
I'd say maybe finger painting is more suitable for you or crayons.

I would do it with Liquify in Photoshop. It can be done but you have to vary brush sizes, pressures

Then add colors (highlights / shadows) on top of that layer, liquify those, lower opacity as needed

It will take lots of time if you want those tiny fine line details. Might even need to pull in the smudge tool

LOFL, "Job Stealing Robot" is a trope that's literally as old as labor saving machines. "Artists" who want people to think they are some kind of prophets have leaned on it so heavily and whined so hard that it became a self fulfiing prophecy.
Fucking hilarious; churn out the same basic AF "creative work" over and over like a robot long enough and eventually people figure out that they might as well just use a robot that doesn't infuse its work with self absorbed whining.

Damn, where do you even go to talk about web development? There isn't even a thread on /g and I have some questions to get CSS working on my individual posts in wordpress. The plug-ins don't work or if it does, it applies it to my entire site, not individual posts.

I think you're looking for /wdg/, no?
Also, I'm not sure if you've tried this but some of the plug-in developers respond to emails so that may be worth a shot. I had a question about a fairly obscure plug-in and the creator replied within the hour.

Buy one embroidery machine. Post listing online. Next day:

>Have you though about hiring our teme Mr?
Non-stop china and india calls all asking to do my design work. I tried it one time, it turned out like shit. Called back and got a "I believe it must be your fault or machine" yet low and behold when I put the time and effort into making my own design it works just fine.

Have any of you guys been scammed by ESL's?

Why not get a barudan? I've been digitizing and decorating with the same barudan machine for about 18 years. They are amazing. Obviously don't get the new single head machines, but a used 6 head should be great and there will always be parts available.

I mean, if you translate it to USD for sure it seems bad, but as I did earn and spent in BRL it was good. I was never in the top edge of most awesome book cover designers, but was above average for sure.

Also, if you are strugling with negotiating pricing, take a look in the Jonathan Stark interview with The Futur about pricing, it helped me a lot on how to negotiate prices and adapt my services so I don't get ripped off. Beware that most The Futur content is bullshit, but this specific interview is good for this skill.

im trying to find a sense of the market. im in the usa and want to know if im leaving money on the table,as they say.
>>
>>457846
Don't know about the market in the USA, but what i can say to you is that there are certain ways to ask for the budget that will help you find a good pricing for the work they are offering. Negotiating face-to-face is always best and the person will not be able to ghost you if you place a number above their budget. Also, you need to know the bare minimum you need to earn to not work for free or at a loss. Oh, and your contract should make clear that revisions beyond some point are paid (my standard is 3 revisions after the concept is approved), and make clear what a revision is and what is a rework is.

I apologize if something that I said is already of your knowledge, I am just trying to help.
