Digital Painting Cloud Tutorial

Using Photoshop CS 3 and Intuos 3
Here's the step-by-step of my painting

I don't really explain how I built my brushes in this tutorial, please go to my first � tutorial to learn about brushes and layer effect click here :)

	Step A	Step B
Step 1
Explanation 1	Using Photoshop, I did the rough sketch in a layer separated from the Background.	Then I filled in the background layer with gradient as my base color palette. Then I created a new layer to block the color for my foreground area (characters+land).
Step 2
Explanation 2	Then I roughly laid a shadow, tones, and highlight on the characters. Notice that I kept the shadow tones purple. Then I pressed Ctrl+B to pop up the Color Balance Window to adjust the color so it harmonized with my background.	I also tweaked my background color, to achieve this look, I cranked up the yellow and cyan tones a lot with a bit of the green. It was fun to experiment with this process :)
Step 3
Explanation 3	After I was happy with the color scheme, I started to work on the characters details. As I painted, I also added the line art to make the characters more crisp.	I continued working on the foreground elements before I jumped into the background. I removed the branches on the top of the boy head, since I felt that the composition started to get busy.

Making Parisian Macaron Tutorial
STEPS A vs. STEPS B
Ever since I tried Macaron back in Columbus, I've always fall in love with them. It's kinda hard to find one in San Jose area, and these little fella are quite expensive on its own, so to achieve my unlimited supply of macaron for the rest of my life, I've tried to make them, without having a formal culinary background, yes just a normal person trying to make macaron...
I failed...miserably.... around 20+ failures...
they are so tricky to make, aside from the meringue, the batter also sensitive to the humidity.
But after all those failed attempts I think I start learning something, at least I think I could make a decent one now, they're still a lot of room for improvement. but I think that I could share what I've learned so far.

I've been trying alot of macaron recipes online from blogs and etc
but here is my favorite recipe by Chef Pascal Riss http://www.cuisinerenligne.fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=45Itemid=45

But in this tutorial I slightly changed the ingredients especially on the sugar syrup, i used more water and less sugar.

for the blueberry ganache, I adapted Tartelette's peach ganache (she's the goddess of macaron!!)
