the rules: You start with an empty stage. You may not import or open any extern images, it must be completely created in photoshop Apply filters, draw patterns, change colors, and create a cool background image (at least 1280x1024 pixel big) anyone interested? :pleased: ---

can you be more specific with “draw patterns” ? How much ‘drawing’ does that entail, and only with patterns? ---

no, do what you want, no need to use patterns if you don’t want. but you could for example draw an eye and make it a pattern. 😉 Well the main rule is, you have to do everything on your own with filters, drawing, manipulating colors, … whatever use clouds filter, draw a square and Liquify its edges, you just are not allowed to use graphics, images,… ---

Id do it if I didnt have to draw, but drawing opens up the doors a bit. The better drawers have the better chance. ---

Sen, it’s not a drawing battle, it’s everything. Maybe someone will come up with some cool effect that’s gonna beat all the drawings y’know 😉 ---

Well I guess there are already enough participants. if some mod would either make a new sticky with the rules or sticky this one, we could start 🙂 others may join later. ---

I just think it would be more interesting if your mouse never touched the canvas. That could allow for some interesting results and some creative ways to make things. ---

I wasn’t talking about drawing a picture at all 😉 is the usage of for example the rectangle tool allowed then? or the use of the text tool? I don’t think this will limit the creativity is the use of “liquify” allowed then? ---

I would be very happy with that. I always love to add something like gridlines. I never really tried something like that, but I think this will be fun 🙂 ---
