i got photoshop!!! wats the best tool to use to do this sig
I can't speak for any other artist about how they would do what you've got. But I can say that there are many ways to go about it and many tools that go into it.
If you want to get into photoshop, I suggest taking a good basic photoshop course or buy a good 'how to get started with photoshop' type book. If you know anyone whose familiar with it they can help you to get started. It's a great tool with almost infinite possiblities. But it's also a pretty steep learning curve. So don't get frustrated with it.
I find that I use the cursors, lassos and airbrush tools more than anything else. But I've been using a real airbrush for 15+ years so my style and techniques tend to reflect that.
I'm not an artist by profession (if I were you wouldn't be getting this stuff for free) but my brother is an illustrator. His background is in fine art and painting. He uses the program like a typical brush and his style reflects that. BTW a sig like that from him would cost you a few hundred $$$
Try using the 'polygonal lasso'. It allows you to use short little lines to surround the object. It takes a while but if you have only a mouse the standard lasso is way too sensitive. To open the polygonal lasso click on the little triangle in the lasso tool sqare. It looks like a coat hanger.
