Preserved Topic: New here. Need some tutorial links :D

Hi, Im a newby
I need some help I've been doin my own artwork using adobe to color in my pen drawings for about a year now. I've gotten the hang of it but the one thing I lack is the ability to do magic or lighting effects.
Heres something im working on now but I want to make it like hes got a really cool looking fireball in his hand.

heres another drawing i did, it was a frail atempt at making it look like hes using magic

Also you can check out most of my other work here. http://www.transfur.com/artwork/artist.asp?Artist=52&p=1
I'd appreciate some feedback and tips since the people at that site dont talk to each other

Welcome to the Asylum....

that's good stuff man. I like it quite a bit.

links to tuts?
just click on the little buttons at the bottom of the page that go to 'hands on tutorials' and 'the gurus network'

It looks like you've got a good grasp on the drawing end.... I'd like to see more down the road.

Fire balls...

I don't think I know of a tut location... but I think I can outline it for you.

1. New image
2. difference cloud multiple times
3. Selection to to select an area and a good moltent looking area
4. Adjust the layer color to turn it red/orange & fiery.

I learned how to color in adobe from a tutorial he posted on his site but he mentions that he was gonna do one for special effects like this but he never made it.

Welcome Jackie boy

You might want to try out something along the lines of this tut that Xdreamer provided a link to.

http://www.stridingstudio.com/tutorials/exclusivetech.html

This tut is not step by step, but with a few trial-and-errors you should get the hang of it.

If you can't convince, confuse!

Man that thing is really vague
Guess I'll have to mess around after work and see what i can come up with.

Check it out what ya'll think so far. I'm quite pleased with ym little experimentation.

That`s good stuff Convertible. Very nice. Welcome to the Loonie Bin.
