This tutorial is really wonderful... I am having problems with my illustrator though. When I hit filter>stylize, I found that I do not have the wind effect. Also, even though my line is highlighted, all the other filters are grayed out (meaning, i couldn't use even the gaussian blurs, which means i couldn't really edit my line.) maybe there is a pre requisite that I couldn't fulfill? you have my email... i hope you could help me out. I'm also visiting your deviantart to look around. You are fabulous. thank you! Anne 0   44 Admin   (2011-04-29 11:19 PM) You meant you sent me an email? but i found no email that resembles what you mentioned. I dont know what is really your problem...maybe you should show me some screenshots via my email : pureromance888@yahoo.com and i might give you some suggestions .

To do step 11, simply choose Layer-New adjustment layer-Selective Color. Hope it helps. 0   53 adrisui   (2011-12-19 11:30 PM) Good tutorial.
