Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"
ok so the application i use is either photopea or ibispaint , both work although i personally prefer photopea ! ibispaint doesn ' t support animated dividers and it ' s harder to make colorings in ibis as well ( normally ) so keep that in mind ^_^
i ' m going to be using photopea for this tut ... so instructions will be more suited towards photopea users ...
before you start , try to have a vision of the type of divider you want to make ! for example , what color scheme do you want ? are there any motifs that you ' d like to include ? is there a specific character you want to center your dividers around ?
also make sure to check the little box that says " transform controls " ! this helps you move your divider pieces around easier :>
so normally , i start off by opening my photopea and clicking new project , then i pick the size titled " twitter header " to start ! you can change the size later :3
next , go to either a resource rentry ( examples include rentry.co/crusher and rentry.co/ulzzang ) or find your divider pieces right here on tumblr ! you can search up " rentry divider " to get some good ones ^_^ i just pick one that appeals to me most atm ...
i ' ve decided to make piano themed dividers , so i picked out this little piano lace thing !
normally , the first divider i pick out is the one i center the piece as a whole around ^_^
just copy and paste your selected divider into photopea !
after this , make sure to remove the background layer so your divider is transparent !
extra : you may want to explore some stylization options ! if you look at the top bar and find the option titled " layer " , and then go to layer style , you ' ll find a bunch of different effects , such as stroke and drop shadow ( which are the ones i use most frequently ) ! play around with these for a bit :> it helps you get to know the platform better !
just keep copy and pasting different dividers into photopea and try to experiment with what combinations of dividers look best ^_^
i like the way this combination looks together , so i ' ve decided to go with this !
next is the fun part ... picking out pngs !
honestly , it takes quite a bit to try to find the right ones . you just need to keep searching and searching ... if it exists , it ' s a png somewhere on tumblr ! you can just type _____ png into the tumblr search bar ~
i like to pick my pngs that i want to use first , then arrange them in the interface :3 i normally only do one side first , i ' ll teach you how to mirror things in photopea later without mirroring the entire project !
here ' s the png arrangement i ' ve picked ! next , you ' re going to merge all of the different pngs into one layer :3
then , to make the mirrored version of the png arrangement , open another new project , also the " twitter header " size ! drag your pngs into the new project !
then , go to image > transform > flip horizontally ! you should have a mirrored version of your png assortment ! drag the mirrored version of the png group from the second project to your original project !
it should look something like this ~
next , coloring ! i normally use gradient maps because they ' re easy to make yourself :3
click layer > new adjustment layer > gradient map !
kind of just play around with the gradient map interface to see how it works ... weh i ' m bad at explaining
i picked a gradient map with three stops : the first one is black , the second one is a dusty purple , and the third one is white !
click ok when you ' re done !
this is the divider so far ! make sure to export this :3 the top divider is now done !
to make the bottom one , just use the transform tool that was described earlier , but instead click the flip vertically option or whatever it ' s called uh ...
the above is the final result ! these divs are f2u with credits ! ask questions as needed and happy editing ^_^
hulloo everyone! <33 this is a blog for me to rb all edit materials I find interesting, as well as post them for safekeeping, and this is a placeholder intro!! I may take requests once I'm better at edits <3
