      @@oooBoEoNooo Don't know about him, but it was my memory for me. Photoshop has a lot of features, and you can only burn what you've learned into your memory if you apply your knowledge into your projects right after learning about them. Sometimes you forget how to properly use a feature and you will have to rewatch an entire video just to remember, but that is not a problem if you enjoy doing what you do.
      With time, with so much "watching and rewatching" while applying your newfound knowledge to your projects, you will see yourself pilling up on experience. But in the end, no matter how experienced you are, such tutorials will always be a part of your daily life. There is so much to learn about graphic design that you will never be able to learn it all, so it's an eternal learning process. And for me that's ok.

      I'm specifically concerned about the subject of graphic design regardless of the software. I don't know why, but I often think that the only way to learn graphic design is to study it at a university.
      Maybe I think that way because I don't trust myself to do it.
      A very obstructive way of thinking, I realize. That's why I'm very grateful for any tip that helps me to improve this attitude.

So i would like to give advice to someone who dont know the perspective,to learn it as soon as you can. colors and stuffs can go later.learn to make the foundation and structure of house only then you can paint on it

    Wonderful! Horizon lines for properly situating one image on another! Never heard of that before but is so obvious when you point that out. Not only important but critical. So many composites just FAIL in some awkward but baffling way. And here you have identified the culprit. Horizon lines. And, FWIW, ten steps is too many? No problem as you break down the process. Soooo helpful. Mike

    you are the absolute best when it comes to learning how to create this kind of art. I have been looking forever for someone who describes the process, the do's and the don'ts, as perfectly as you. You are practically a teacher for all of us first timers, so please keep doing what you are doing. I first learned about this kind of art when I just randomly came across the channel Benny Productions. I thought the art was so awesome, really wanted to learn how to do it, but he admits he will not produce tutorials because there are already tons of videos out there that are just that. I agree with some of the people on here, you definitely need to be added to the Masterclass website, for graphic design instruction.
