For the step 2, black could be a real black : 100% for cyan, majenta, yellow and black. Otherwise, the effect of the step 3 will not work.

At first thank you for your share.I'm a foreigner，and my English is not very good,hope that you may understand what I'm talking about.I had downloaded the bead brush in step 8,but when I opened it ,there was nothing. Could you mail the source file to me? And the address is lian5622@yahoo.com.cn.Thank you very much.

@ Jenna- If you're having similar prob. as that of Patrick, please check back his reply-he has solved his prob., pls. check if you're also using CMYK mode.

@ Patrick- Glad you solved the issue. I also always use cmyk mode, but for this tut, i thought to switch to rgb mode.
Thank You.

2008-12-10T04:23:00.000+05:30

To: The Muse. Thanks for your help. I was using just 100% black as my second color in the gradient. When I switched to a four color black it worked fine. Most of my illustration work is for print not the web so I have to work in cmyk and leave the black as just black.

I enjoyed your art gallery. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. Yes I am doing all of those things. It's just not cooperating with me today. Perhaps my mojo is off. I will keep searching for an answer. And also thanks for redirecting me to the link for the brush.

2008-12-09T21:43:00.000+05:30

Patrick, in the Step 3, I hope you're changing the Blending Mode of the oval to Screen, for that you should have your Transparency Palette open, if not go to Windows>Transparency. Although, I have made it in CS3, it should work for CS2 as well!

As regarding the bead gem, just hover & click your cursor on "here", you will see the link.

Hope this helps.
