I want to start in gfx but I don't really know where to get started, do you have any tips for a beginner? Thank you and have a good day, your work is beautiful!
Thank you so so much for your kind words! ♥
For beginners who’d like to dabble in making graphics, I would say look through Pinterest for inspiration, from there plan out and write down your own ideas of the theme/subject that your graphic is going to be. Decide what style of graphic you want to make, be it posters, infographic, typography, etc. It’s best to have a specific idea in mind and then search for the images surrounding the theme of your graphic. For example if it’s a studyblr type of graphic, you’d search for study related styled stock images such as books and stationary. After gathering all your sources, draft a new canvas, with your visualized color palette in mind, mix and match the images together. Not all images compliment each other in a graphic, it’s sort of a trial and error process, until you see what fits together to make the graphic look nice. If it’s an anime character graphic, do the basics like cleaning and coloring mangacaps, and then add different textures and some words/info to your graphic to make it look more complete. Most importantly, keep experimenting and practicing and you will find your own graphic style eventually.
Those are just my two cents, purely advice and not professional, but I hope it helps you in one way or another! If you need photoshop/graphic tutorials, visit comepleteresources, itsphotoshop, yeahps, chaoticresources and animeps. These sites have great resources that could help beginners out in making gifs and graphics.
Good luck and have fun making them! :)
