I have used neither - So I honestly wouldn't have a choice, but I think I woul suggest maybe GIMP, as that has layer abilities.

Hey, Northern Lights! Been working on this last night and came up with this:

ShinyBuizelTailBadge.png


Shiny Buizel tails :p

I found a new way to shade instead of changing the colour. Well, new for me. It's using the Dodge/Burn tool. I think it looks good compared to my laxst one, but I'd like some feedback, please.

EDIT:

Made shrink size from 70 to 100. I think it looks better that way. Anyway, its a Pikachu Badge.

using the burn and dodge tools is a good idea, you just need to make sure you can keep the streaks at the same angle

Oh wow, that's really good - you got the same style as me down too, well done!
and without a tablet is amazing, my mouse work is really dodgy because my mouse keeps sticking for some reason *rolls eyes*

I just wanted to post them out in an actual thread here, so thanks to your pixel tutorial, yesterday I made these
http://i56.*******.com/2h85k3m.jpghttp://i54.*******.com/zyhiy8.jpghttp://i54.*******.com/f0sqap.jpghttp://i56.*******.com/b4ggnb.jpghttp://i51.*******.com/rvjd3q.jpg
I will probably end up redoing the roses on the roselia badges though, but right now I am not entirely sure how I should fix them.

edit:
Here are v2 of the roselia badges.

The Roselia badges have definatly improved, and good work on the Pixel style too, havn't seen many people trying the Pixel style, but you've got it good =]

Pretty sick tut, thanks so much for sharing, just what I needed.

This is what I came up with, Terranova Badge.

Sample: Shiny Sandile. It's for the 1st Gym of my forum's Pokemon Club ^-^

I made the lines too thin and maybe white wasn't the best idea for a first try, but I used my personal character for the model. First stab at a badge, I'll definitely be trying this again.

I'm having problems.

I don't have Photoshop on my laptop, but I do have it on my desktop. However, it's an older version (PS5, or something), and that makes things rather difficult.

I'm REALLY confused at the layers thing. I'm not sure if I should create a layer, make my drawing on that, and create a layer UNDER it, or if I should make the image on the background.

It also doesn't help that I lack the ability to directly manipulate my objects...

It won't work on PS5 - I used PS5 for my Photography exam, you can't seem to highlight the objects within a layer using the trick I did, and i'm not sure how else you would do it for two layers at a time. =[

Nicely done LexSuicune!
Sora, yeah, the lines are definatly too thin

Eep! My first try on this. I just got Photoshop two days ago and have started messing around with it. Just learnt how to use the pen tool, thought it might work. I suck at the shading though.

I think I resized it a little too much...

I'm with the guy above me. I used a tablet but I think I made it a little too sketchy >.>

And too small.

Sketchy... IDK How you do it in the Video Tutorial :/
I have Photoshop Elements 8, which works with my Tablet. But the effects I did in Paint.Net since Photosop confuses me...
