You seem to handle all my pet peeves with your tuts...
Adaptable tuts are a must now, with so many Tut Writers using pay only artists it makes it difficult for the PSP hobbyist, (who can't..or won't pay for tubes).....to get something that even looks close...
I realize tuts are only guidelines...but a lot of us are learning...we want ours to look as good as yours..For some of us that means, "the same as yours"...I've been there..
I like that you offer some supplies..and often times even the tube you use...A lot of writers are stating..."a tube, font, mask, etc of your choice"...I can't tell you how many tuts I've just passed on for that reason alone..
I'm not a beginner anymore...but I certainly appreciate having things so readily available...Anyway..Kudos to you for being so helpful....Here is my go..:)
