(5 years and 576 days ago)Hello,
I'm from Vietnam
I like your tutorial very much, especial this one
Can I ask for the PSD file?
I need to make a poster for my friend's school's festival and this picture is the perfect fit for what I aimed to have in the poster
I'm bad at designing and I don't have much time to create a new poster
could you share your psd file?
I will be extremely thankful if you do so
I just make a poster to help my friend, not for selling or doing anything to gain profit.
So please let me know if you agree to share it as soon as possible
Thank you so much.
Best wishes
Bee
p.s: I will leave my email address here

I'm learning from tutorials for a 2/3 months. I have to admit this very tutorial has motivated me for real art rather than manipulation so much and inspired me to create my own drawing. It taught me so much. I made a poor imitation with mouse thou it says a graphic table is its requirement. Cordial thanks to its author for such a detailed tutorial.
(5 years and 510 days ago)Amazing love it!
(5 years and 507 days ago)amazing butterfly i like it ******************************************
