Help on learning the manip "how to"
Hi! I'd like to try and learn how to make manips, as a way to give back to this wonderful community. I don't have much of experience with photoshop, so no promises... just wanting to learn something new.
So, right I'm stuck at creating realistic (as in "not poorly hand drawn") seams. I tried to guess that you first define a path, and then apply the brush with medium opacity? But it doesn't look very good.
If anybody could give me a hint, it would be really appreciated
(BTW i tried using gimp; would you suggest to get the proper photoshop?)

I use Paint.net and a few plugins myself.

Thanks robotman! Exactly what I was looking for.
Here's my first attempt. Still trying to make the front panel more realistic!

Hey there. Do you have photoshop? I'd be happy to impart my knowledge, but its all pretty much photoshop based. I've never used gimp.

I am 1000% self taught in photoshop, as such I do things the way that make sense to me. So there might be a much better way to do things than the way I do them. So, if one of the more legit graphics folk want to correct me, PLEASE do, I welcome refined techniques.

hopefully someone that knows how to use vectors instead the brush tool for creating artificial smoothness will have mercy on us that make sketches with PS?

Vectors always, i repeat always, make me think of airplane. "What's your vector, Victor?"
