Last year I created some images using fireballs, explosion, fire and smoke. Basically I only used brushes to create that in Photoshop. Now with the release of the new Pixelmator 1.4 and its brand new Brush Engine I decided to try it and create the same image in Pixelmator.
So, in this tutorial I will show you how to create fire and smoke using Pixelmator. We will play with the Brush Engine, colors and Blendings.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Alex Beltechi for the 5th Anniversary of Abduzeedo. Alex Beltechi is an artist and designer based in the city of Oradea, Romania. Although a student at a Visual Arts University, he also teaches the tools of his trade through various blogs and magazines.
Alex frequently experiments with a wide range of tools and techniques, more recently culminating in illustrated typography. If he's not found scribbling design schemes, you may find him pestering the world with his amateur photography or slamming piano keys furiously.
As the name implies, this book (but I dare call a Bible) tells the story of graphic design in Brazil in a very intelligent way and brings a wealth of incredible images and with a touch of nostalgia for most Brazilians.
