Hi @Dubuntu,
Feel free to contact me directly via my email or whatsapp. If your pc has strong specs you can get the Design Premium Suite or Master Collection CS6 & CorelDraw X7-8. Even if your pc isn't that powerful I've most of the lower versions. Am registered on both Adobe & Autodesk sites so I get my apps directly from them. All at an affordable price on a DVD,best regards...

dubuntu:
OK I'll be brief as possible.
I'm about to start a course on graphics designing and I need the following softwares:
Adobe Photoshop
Corel draw nd
Illustrator.
I don't trust the vendors around so I checked jumia and boy the prices I saw there were shocking. I never knew software was that expensive.
So how do u suggest I purchase this apps? I don't want to download a version that will not have some in-app content available or have certain features blocked if u know what I mean.
Suggestions please.

Thanks I appreciate it,just seeing this...

Hi,I also retail in wacom & ugee tabs here in Nigeria & am Lagos-based. It's because I had to be sure whether I had Ituos Pro Pen & Touch or not,sadly both small & medium size have finished. The cheapest tabs I've now are Ituos Draw Pen & Touch-45k(2 available) & One by Wacom-43k(2 available). Anything after nextweek Wed-Fri I can't guarantee,cheers...

Thanks for your reply,
I have narrowed my search down to intuos pro pen,
https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Tablet-Medium-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY?ie=UTF8&tag=gearo00-20

the only challenge I have now is how to get it here in Nigeria.

Seen it a slight improvement but needs more work & getting a tab also. Here are links to that can help.

Drew0:
Lplz check my profile I did a new one.

It's quite rough & needs serious work for real. You drew lines over the picture instead of creating a separate layer for your line to preserve your original picture. You didn't colour it but left the texture from the original picture,c'mon. Take note of your details you created contours in 1eye & none in the other. She be babalawo ni?!!*hehehe*lol*hahaha*Also try getting a digital tablet wacom,ugee,huion or yiynova helps a lot,cheers...

Drew0:
Abeg guys, I take God beg una drop ur comments, is it good? I just start this stuff so.

Go through the videos it's all there how to blend all the pictures into one another. Blending is also a term used in digital art for mixing colours in using the smudge tool...

Rick9:
thank u sir, I have seen the site if I have data I will download the videos,
Another thing I really want to learn is Blending.

Sign up to have an account with them & check if the particular tab can be delivered to Nigeria. Make sure it's a tab sold by Amazon directly or a retailer who Amazon helps fulfil delivery. Enable the Global Shipping feature & please take note shipping costs goes for an average of 15k plus.

No p,man,all good in the hood...

Kazna69:
No, wasn't giving advice. I don't do that. Just healthy criticism.

Wacom tabs for beginners:
Ituos Pen & Touch(small)-old version
Ituos Draw Pen & Touch(new)
Ituos Art Pen & Touch(new)
Ituos Comic Pen & Touch(new)
Cintiqs maybe way too out of your league starting sometimes 450k-900k depending on the model.
Check the attached picture of how the ituos old & new versions look like.

exceltech:
Hi, I need to get a high end graphic tab ; intuos 4, 5 or cintiq but I can't
decide on which to get.
Also I have checked Nigerian online stores and I couldn't find, can you
please suggest the best tab for a beginner based on your experience
and also where I can buy the tab in Nigeria.
Thanks

You are welcome,my pleasure & keep practising. For photomanipulation subscribe & download videos from PSDBox the legendary Andrei Oprinca is one to learn from. Still studying his videos to get better myself.

Rick9:
I want to say a special thanks to DerrickM , bro I followed the steps and the result was perfect, why am thankful to you is because I have struggled with this problem for a very long time, have done a lot of research online but none could help, until u explained it for me now I can easily remove a background and replace it in Adobe Photoshop. Thanks so much, I hope to get more Tutorials from u.

Image Background Problem Solved

Now is to learn how to manipulate Photos.

Thanks again

Contact me via my whatsapp number or email. I hook you with a very good deal @an affordable price with freebies. Am Lagos based.

dubuntu:
I need Photoshop, Corel draw and illustrator. What's d best way to get these softwares without having to break bank?

You do have a point in a way but there's another reality you should know...Not all creatives are good tutors or can explain what they did in a simplified manner that's a gift.
They learnt on Youtube or used Google to search for premium tutorials to subscribe that aren't free,others should do the same. Let's face it Nigerian people like free things always seriously. How are creatives going to be pay their bills if their knowledge is given out always for free?!!They won't be able to & that doesn't move the country forward either,bro,it doesn't...
Here are 2links @aolumaxi shared a longtime ago back on a different thread. If you had asked nicely he would have posted this himself all the same have it.

Someone who knows it should teach with picture evidence. No wonder this country don't move forward because people choose to keep their talent to themselves without impacting it on others.

It's really weird am the one answering when I was just a buzz away from you,dude...na wa Ooo

*On the layers tab,choose the layer you drew & painted the hand. Duplicate the layer to preserve the original layer.
*You can rename it the way you like.
*Still on the layers tab,you can either rightclick on the layer to access blending options or click on "fx" the bottom with icons for layer mask,new layer,group & delete.
*From the effect options there you can perform both an inner & outer glow.
-Added Effect-
*Using the soft brushes that have an airbrush effect added to them you can use the polygonal lasso tool option to create the effect of light beams bursting from the palms.

Millex:
Need help from pros in the house, I painted a hand and I wanna make it have a glow, like a glowing hand. Ideas are welcome

*Smh*lol*lmao*lwkmd*Thanks for your observation. Now here's a reality check for you. Nice coming from the guy who gave whole of BS tips not having a clue about the art process in the 1st place. Wasn't sugar coating the kid,amigo,look very well at the comments on the thread. You gave advice that was point blank wrong. #JustSaying

Kazna69:
You know some times you actually do talk a lot of needless bs. Stop sugarcoating & petting the kid.
If kid wants to learn, there's a door to that. Yes making fan art is OK but if that's all every young artist does then Pizza delivered from Hell has a better chance of tasting better. Just black and white.

Dude,I don't why you are taking this out of context. It is @Jifem's fan art of somebody else's imagination not his. To draw correctly he needs to pay attention to the original sketches but draw it in his own way while adding his touch. Yet even these imagined/original characters still take reference from someone,something,occurrence,cause,object or ideal. It's just a rule of art that can't be contested. It's just like someone still drawing Superman or Batman in their old spandex with pant suits of the 80s/90s when they have better suits/costumes presently...

Kazna69:
Well they do to have an idea what they're illustrating. Imagination still wins... Every time.

Haba,dude,seriously way too harsh now. At least he gave a good attempt & has lots of potential to get much better for real.

elkraune:
rubbish

For a beginner,that's wrong advice,visual references are always the best bet to get the details. In this case,he would have the screenshot on phone of Avatar Korra or Aang. Even the best artists in the world still use references.
Now when it comes to abstract or zentangle art then imagination is allowed not the above. That comes with lots of experience.

Kazna69:
Practice drawing from your imagination.

Yeah,you are improving. Keep it up & work on studying human anatomy for better results.

cosmic22:
I think I'm improving

Follow the steps below:

*Open the image you plan to edit in Photoshop
*In the layers,double-click on the image,it will be called "Background"
*A layer dialog box will pop up showing it now as "Layer 0". You can choose to rename it or do so later
*Now that your image is a layer you can go ahead to easily edit it
*Duplicate the layer to preserve the original
*On the duplicate layer,select the lasso tool & choose magnetic lasso to trace around the image
*Once that is completed,the image will be highlighted in a selection window that looks like marching ants going round endlessly
*Go to menu bar above,"Select" > "Modify" > "Feather" choose 1-3pixels radius. This helps to refine the selection
*Rightclick to copy the selected area or just Ctrl+C to copy
*When you paste or Ctrl+V;the selected area is placed on another layer
*The result is your image independent of its former background. Reusable elsewhere. You can now delete the other layers you don't need.
Hope this helps...

Rick9:
My Photoshop problem is this.

Answers to your questions:

1. It's wrong
2. 1st learn how to use VideoScribe before you post a gig on it. You can try computer village if they have it or try looking for the completely activated ones online.

femipeters015:
Good morning house, have been a silent follower of this trend for a while now, and i must confess have been well enlightened. i opened my fiverr account some days ago, with a US IP under the gig "proofreading and editing", i just have two questions
1.under my buyers request page i keep seeing people posting their services, is that right?
2. i intend opening a gig for videscribe, later on but all the download of the software i see is trail version, can i get the complete software at computer village?
here is my gig kindly rate it https://www.fiverr.com/victoria_words thanks everbody

I gentle & on my pixel hustle evaly...

klexycole:
Baba DerrickM, I hail faa.

Actually Digital Tutors when it comes to Photoshop tutorials are so dope when compared to Lynda. Don't get me wrong I love Lynda as well for sure on other stuff.

elijahakodu:
There are a lot of tutorial that u can even imagine for photoshop but for nubees like ur Bro go to Lynda.com

Scarface Remix - The Digital Version

Started with pencils then scanned into Photoshop,inked & coloured with my wacom tab in Photoshop...

Starting is usually the hardest thing so great you are set up. I like your confidence as a Nigerian on your profile for real. I just kindly ask that you check top sellers in your niche to see how they differentiate the services for each package. Another thing if you create a short video where you speak English & translate exactly what you said into French I think you would see more buyers. Even I need to make videos for all my gigs past & present to make more sales.
I don't see any difference between your packages from $5-$15. So it will confuse the buyer as it did me,best regards.
