You can play with the layer, adjust to your liking, etc.(play with the optional layers, in the preview, the original psd with one optional layer is shown, but when 2 of them is made visible at the same time, it's gonna be different :D)

Sorry for the lack of updates during the Christmas season everyone. Seems like I'm not yet into the Christmas mood. Both Mint and I will get pumped up in the next few days and hopefully throw in some cool, resourceful resources.

I'm so glad my last font pack was more well received than I expected so I'm releasing another one. I highly recommend these fonts.

Merry Christmas!

You know your "Making a Honeycomb" resource template, you said a pentagon gas 6 sides. Those shapes you were drawing were hexagons oh my god

hahahahahahhaa yes thanks for telling me xD I seriously laughed at myself for this. Gonna change that into hexagon (actually I am embarassed but let's pretend I'm not oh my God I used to be pretty good at chemistry) Good thing I didn't take chemistry as my major or this won't look good on my test paper

TUTORIAL :: Making A Honeycomb Template

So, I got a request on honeycomb template, and I got a few more requests on making a tutorial, so I guess these weeks I'll be making a few tutorials (yes!) and the first one would be honeycomb template/texture!

Difficulty : Easy

What you need : Photoshop  (I am using CS6 but I think earlier versions will do :D)

STEPS : 

1. Open new file.

2. Click polygon tool, by default it's rectangle tool. 

  3. Make sure the "Sides" are 6 (because lovely pentagons hexagons has six sides! :D)

4. Start making a pentagon hexagon on your layer. Then make another one, putting it closely to the sides of the first pentagon, and it goes on :)

5. Repeat process till you like it :D

P.S : Play with this for many types of results :)

Change those to change the color of the pentagons hexagons, the strokes (if you use any) etc.

For using it as a template, fill : black (or any solid color, actually, but black will do).

Some of my examples, you can use it with the usual texture rules.

Enjoy :)

30.10.2014 edit : Thank you kind anon for letting me know my stupid mistake! :D I only crossed the word 'pentagon' because this tutorial has been read by quite a lot of people so yeah, let the mistake be there, not that I can change the past :) From now on I will remember this forever, hex is six xD - mint
