Hello guys, I was hired again by PSDTuts to write another tutorial, this time completelly FREE.
In this article Im going to talk about my workflow used to design mascots for websites. This process in this article was described in real time as I created the designs. Let’s look at this more closely.
Hello buddies, looks like I was really busy during the last month, as you noticed I dont post too much latelly, but its because I was working in the biggest and more detailed tutorial I have ever write, PSDTuts hired me to write a tutorial about mascot design in Photoshop.
Searching in my old CDs and Hard Drives, i found some mascot designs. I made this ones to practice when i started designing; i never sold them… so here they are in case anyone wants to use them .
I will add more designs time to time, whenever a order from SOSFactory fails, I will upload the design for free download.
Hello Newbies!! You already noticed SOSNewbie is not updated latelly, the main reason is because my workload (Im sleeping 5h per day one week ago) but there is another one… I was working the most complex tutorial about mascot and logo design I never did, I spent lot of time doing this tutorial like […]
Sometimes Im really amazed on how the luck (good or bad) become so important in life. Linerider project was the weirdest project I never worked on from SOSFactory. Go ahead if you want to know more about this designs.
It’s time to write a tutorial about vectorial illustration. In this post i’ll explain the process i followed at the time of designing by order (from SOSFactory) the mascot in vector format of Twisted Monkey Studios, producers of horror films.
SOSFactory is a team of freelance artists. We have been working for small and big business like Funrise during the last 3 years. Due to the success of our work we cant accept more orders because of lack of time. So we are looking for mascot designers and possibly logo designers.
In this video we’ll learn how to make a digital drawing from a sketch made in pencil, as we do in SOSFactory. If you’re a novice in Photoshop i suggest you to practice first with the basic tutorial on Digital Drawing with Photoshop. In this new videotutorial the main news is that we’ll learn how to modulate the lines giving them different weights; with this we’ll get a much more shocking and dynamic result.
We are going to inaugurate a section that i think it might be interesting, it’s about real cases of orders we did in our beloved SOSFactory. In this case we are going to see the design we did for the header of Free Power Boards, a content management system for forums based in PHPbb which is about to launch it’s third version. They ordered us to created their new header design.
Here is the last step when designing mascots for websites. I did this color job just to do this video, so its a short version, I usually spend around 3h per mascot design when I work from sosfactory… but this would be too long, impossible to edit, maybe in the future 
This is a photoshop video tutorial where I show how to clean lineart done in a traditional way. Its the usual process we do at time to from sosfactory.
In this article we are going to see some general questions about mascots design for websites: composition, lines weight, file formats, styles and color schemes… This is not a tutorial, when you read the post you will notice that during the text there will be several links to other pages where every topic is explained in more detail.
