These are the tutorials I managed to put together during 2018. Not that many, but still a number of them. Most of them were nature themed, and about half of them were a result of my Element Experimentation builds.

 

Making tutorials is a rather different experience as compared to normal building. It takes a great deal of time and effort to put a tutorial together, compared to making regular builds. You have to take many pictures, think through the flow of the technique and write good descriptive texts for each picture. Tutorials also play out differently on different platforms, so often you have to create multiple versions of the tutorial to fit the platforms you post on.

 

Also, for me, pretty much all tutorials I make are of techniques I've already showcased in builds before, so tutorials doesn't bring anything new to the table - it just shows how a previously used technique is made.

 

These two things combined makes tutorial making more of a chore than fun, to be honest. It's a lot of work and it doesn't result in a nice new build. So why do it?

 

I have personally learned loads from tutorials made by others, and so I have reaped the benefits of their hard work with very little effort on my side. So, making tutorials of your techniques is a way of contributing back to the LEGO community. It may not be the most fun, or get you the most likes or comments, but it's still a satisfying experience knowing that you have given something back.

 

And of course it puts a smile on your face when you see people starting to use your techniques in their own builds :) I have noticed that both my spruce techniques are seeing quite some use these days, so that's something I'm really happy about :)

If you have ever struggled with making a round roof, you'll definitely want to check out this tutorial by Cozei on brickbuilt.

For those who did not see the first picture...

 

This is going to be my first visual tutorial about consciousness and awareness.

 

It is very easy because the pictures will speak for themselves.

 

Without words you will understand, what it all means.

 

Maybe you discover something very important for yourself... :-)))

 

If you like, ask yourself what you see and how you see.

 

Next picture tomorrow.

This is a visual of one way to improve dark eyes. There are several other things you can do including using a hue/sat adjustment layer combined with it's mask to eliminate color in the whites of the eyes. It's not shown here. LARGE IN SEPARATE WINDOW

So I finally completed a tutorial on the tree technique used in some of latest MOCs and you can find it here:

Feel free to let me know what you think of it, and if there's anything that can be improved upon. Hope you will like it and find it useful :)

 

Planning on making a few more tutorials that some of you have requested, now that I have some time, so keep an eye out for them :)

Hi guys.

I´ve been getting many emails where people are asking me how

I work my photos

so I thought you´d like a tutorial.

 

Well, this is the first time I do a tutorial. I hope

it makes sence. If you find this helpful

I ´ll try to find a photo that needs a massive

work, and do another one, with more steps and screenshots.

This tutorial is made with Photoshop version 8.0, and a basic

knowledge to do this tutorial helps.

  

STEP 1

duplicate layer, name it sky

 

STEP 2

with layer we called sky, go to

IMAGE - AJUSTMENTS - LEVELS

and put in the numbers

68

1,38

255

  

go to IMAGE - AJUSTMENTS - hue saturation

-12

-55

0

  

STEP 3

name the background layer mountain (turn off the sky layer)

go to IMAGE - AJUSTMENTS - LEVELS

 

49

1,03

217

 

STEP 4

turn on sky layer, and with that layer selected, erase everything but the sky

 

STEP5

duplicate sky layer, name it blur

 

go to filter - blur - gaussian blur 8,4%

  

STEP 6

erase everything but the blue tones with a soft brush to make the clouds in focus

and bring down the opacity of the brush at some points

 

STEP 7

merge sky layer and blur layer and name it sky

at the sky layer go to:

 

levels

44

1,00

255

 

hue-sat and change Cyans, blues and master.

Cyans

-5

-38

0

 

blues

-7

-28

0

 

master

0

-18

0

 

STEP 8

go to mountain layer

 

levels

31

1,00

255

 

at last I put on a radical gradient

with 50% opacity, to do the vignette

(make new gradient from gray to white, with

opacity at ca 70% on the gray part)

This is what I basically do, with some

images I duplicade layers again and again

to ajust the levels, and the hue sat untill I´m

happy. I sometimes use gaussian blur at the sky

if it´s noise after all the ajustments, and then

erase the clouds part to get the focus.

And here's a look at the technique used to reverse the stud connections inside.

 

The 1x1 piece with the thick 'o' clip is the key part. And the result is a very tight connection that can be used to quickly reverse stud direction. it's three plates thick. And depending how you line up the 'o' clips, you can have studs facing other directions too, and, they'll line up very neatly with the edges of the bricks.

  

Few people were interested about the 'acrylic' fake nails I made for my Zero, so I decided to make a tutorial so everyone can make their dolls some fancy nails.

You can make any kinds of fake nails with this method, and maybe use other material than straw, but I this is just how I do it.

 

Hope this is helpful!

CaptainDiamond36 asked for a tutorial on how to build the floor I used in several vignettes like Sudden Trouble or Boarded!, so here is a little bit of instruction.

 

The technique is rather easy. You just need a lot of grill tiles, a few 2x3 plates and several 1x2 and other 1xY tiles, along with a simple SNOT base. The size of the base is variable and the number of panels you use is totally based on how large the floor should be. I don't know exactly how many panels make a certain number of studs in length, so you just have to try it out, if you are building larger or smaller than this.

 

I hope this tutorial helps. Please, let me know, if you want to see more instructions like this for the techniques I use.

I've written a tutorial that could help give you even more control over your images under conditions that can either ruin a photo or help to create a vibrant photo. This is a technique I use a lot..See the link below to learn how to be completely free from lens flare without using filters.

How to make a lomo vignette in photoshop... one way to do it

images can be found at www.soffia.net/tutorialll.html

 

First of all, open a photo you want to add a lomo vignette to

 

1. Go to Layers - new fill layer - gradient...

 

2. Name it lomo - click OK

 

3. you get a window up there:

Style: Radial

Reverse and Align with layer should be checked.

 

3. Gradient: (image 01) As seen in image 02, choose forground to transparent. Left color

 

stop should be black and white in right color stop. Left Opacity stop is 80% and right

 

is 0% ( image 02)

 

4. Change the layer to overlay (image 03)

  

You got a lomo effect, you can play with the numbers as you like, and somethimes I erase

 

part of the lomo layer if it´s too dark at places I want to be light. Like in this

 

photo, I want the lower right corner to be light, cause I like the marks in the sand.

 

*TIP* I use a soft brush and often with 60 - 80 % tranparent to erase parts of the lomo

 

effect.

  

(Another way is to go to Filter - distort - lens correction. There you can tweek the vignette settings)

step one: extrude strands of the desired thickness in your chosen colour and cut lengths of about 2.5 cm with a craft knife or a tissue blade.

 

step 2: take one of the cut lengths and push the ends together to form a loop. repeat.

group the loops together as shown.

 

step 3: take a length of extruded clay and lay it across the group of loops as shown.

 

step 4: using the back of the blade deeply indent the clay making sure the indents are aligned with the centre of the loop.

 

step 5: i flatten the tails of the loops with a cocktail stick. this ensures each line of loops will lie reasonably flat. if you are making long lines you will need to do

this bit at a time. be carfull you dont mark the 'stitches' with your fingers/nails as you roll the cocktail stick.

 

repeat steps 1 to 5

 

step 6: place one line of stitches overlapping the flattened tails of the loops.

 

you can use this effect on its own or experiment with knitted cables, plaits etc.

 

if you have any questions or anything seems unclear please dont hesitate to ask : )

Tutorial

If you like it here's a beginning to either finish or experiment. If you'll notice the strip in the photo, it shows before the process.

 

1. Duplicate background layer twice (command/control + j twice will do it).

 

2. Click, choosing "Layer 1", and go Image > Adjustment > Desaturate (Or make it black and white anyway you want to).

 

3. Click and choose "Layer 1 copy" and put that in "softlight" blending mode using the Layer Pallet drop down menu.

 

4. Go to the Channels Pallet and command/control click the RGB channel, getting a highlights selection.

 

5. Go back to the Layer Pallet and "Layer 1 copy" should still be chosen ( You can tell it's chosen because it'll be highlighted with some color), and again do command/control + j. This creates "Layer 2" from your selection and it's in "softlight" blending mode.

 

6. Go back to Channels pallet and command/control click the RGB layer, getting the highlights selection again. Invert the selection by either going to Select > Inverse or use the keyboard shortctu of command/control + shift + i

 

7. Add a hue/saturation adjustment layer and set the saturation to +50 and Lightness of -10.

 

I've created an action at www.allangengler.com/my_actions if you're interested. BUT do it manually first so you can see the effects and maybe try creating your own action.

Since many commenters seemed to enjoy the well I built for my Herbalist's Garden, here is a tutorial for it!

Patrick B. shares his wooden wall technique in our latest Guest Tutorial on brickbuilt: tutorial link.

Some of you have been asking what I have been talking about when I've said that I've been using pixel blending to improve the exposure on some of my photos. Well here is the second of my attempts at writing a tutorial, this time on using "Pixel Blending".

 

I'm afraid this tutorial is only of use to those of you who shoot their images in RAW (and use Photoshop CS2), but if this applies to you or you're just interested please have a look through my tutorial in the comments section below. Any criticism or comments are welcome (I'm not an expert and always like hearing about new techniques)

 

Here is the other tutorial I have written if you want to look at that.

Depois de abrir as janelas e tirar as abas da caixa eu reforcei as laterais que ficaram fininhas demais com o próprio papelão das abas. Assim o mini studio não corre o rsico de "desabar"
