Webdesign graphics - Rules/make your own avatar & Tutorials

In this forum, we try and be more creative...and use more of our minds and artistic sides and less wanking :P

Kinds of threads you can/could/should make here
Make any thread that creates creative thought, as in fun, serious and artistic matter, in any area of webdesign and in the graphic fields (including photography and written art). There are various "post your [insert here]" type threads, so keep an eye out and join in, such as avatars and desktops.

What is NOT allowed
Any material you submit to WBW and upload to our servers MUST be your own work. If not your own work, it MUST be hotlinked and you should say its not yours. Dont try and be a smartass and claim others work as youre own. If your thread is ALL PORN related, with very little art, it must go in the babe forums.

Do not post links or codes to crack software, such topics are forebidden on WBW and a warning or ban might be handed out to said poster.

This forum is not just a place to post graphic works or to show off your skills to people, it is also a place for newcomers to graphics to ask for advice, opinions and "how to's" so there is not to be any form of bashing or trolling for requests.




WBW has many artists, in all kinds of different fields....so weve made a thread to allow people to post their work and to get feedback/praise/criticism from others, if you want to join in...or maybe just have a look at the talent on this site go here --> http://www.whatboyswant.com/forum_read/3313593/1/10




the following are tutorials made by others on this site...added to this for a 'one stop shop' for this forum, if you have any tutorials youd like to add...please do so. Make sure you add screencaps of your "step by step" tutorials for easy reading.


enjoy.
