Great stuff bro! A trick: I like to use the mirror option when sketching logos. It's great as you don't need to worry about the flipping. After that, I turn that off and work on the letter forms of the right half of the logo. Keep these tutorials coming, love em!
Cheers matty boy, hope you're keeping well! I find that live mirroring just throws me off real bad and I can't focus on my first half of the letterforms but that's a personal preference and I can see how some might benefit from it more. I shall indeed mate, thanks for tuning in!
the way i was doing it took SO long!!! i will try this and i really hope it works. i'm a new black metal logo artist and this video was really helpful, thank you!!
Oi cheers mate, this is an oldie and I've got some new better tricks for lettering like this - I should whip up a new video soon. If ya ever wanna collab on a piece or a video just shout dude. Much love and respect ⚔️🖤
love that i found this channel. I'm an aspiring graphic designer and have done some flyers, logos and demo covers for local bands. Would you recomend studying graphic design for this type of stuff?
Awesome dude, that's how I started a number of years back - making posters/logos for local shows and bands. I then studied graphic design and learned loads within the discipline that I could apply to my own style and develop my own business. If you're in a position to study even for a year or two I fully recommend it and wish you all the best going forward! Many thanks mate 🙏
Get involved in your local scene. Put on gigs, book tours, play in bands etc. Be proactive in your local music scene and show people there your logos and then offer to create some for bands you know.
I found your channel and it blew my mind. I been playing with graphics for the pass few years since I'm a screen printer but your videos have helped me alot. I've been making graphics on my phone since I'm hurt and on bed rest and don't have a working computer. I've learned alot from you dude and appreciate it.
@@TheDJShadowKid hi I'm so sorry. RUclips keeps deleting my comments. msg me on instagram : atrixidy (or Gmail: jedaiahlyle@gmail.com) I just want 1 word: luminous . thanks I rly appreciate it
Hi mate, cheers for the kind response! I quickly colour my logot like this by making a selection of the logo layer (hold ctrl and click on the layer thumbnail in layer panel) and then using the gradient tool to fill in the selection on a new layer. Hope this helps ya!
Are you using your mouse to draw with the lasso or are you doing all of your illustration with hardware? Like a drawing pad or something? Great videos!! I love this channel!
Thanks so much boss, really glad you're digging the vids! I hope they're helping ya. I use a couple of different pen tablets for most of my work - if you're interested in getting one (without spending a fortune!) I recommend looking for a second hand wacom Intuos. They are very tough little tablets 🙏🙏🙏
Hey man! Informative video and it helped me a ton! Just wanted to ask why you made it in Photoshop instead of Illustrator considering that vector graphics are supposedly better for logos? Is this just a personal preference or something else? Just wanted to get an insight :D
Great question! While industry standard logo work should exclusively be vector format (lossless scalability!), this tutorial is aimed more at quick and gritty logo design. This design for example is only about 4 hours work while a similar project in illustrator with pen tool could take x5 that time to get perfect - Photoshop with a drawing tablet is akin to drawing on paper which is nice and quick. A little trick to vectorise raster based logos is to use the image trace function in illustrator or even a free software called inkscape, although you can expect to lose some detail in that process. Cheers for checking it out and I hope this helped a bit mate! Best of luck with all of your designs 🙏
With the selection you've drawn with the free lasso tool open, just press shift+f5 to fill the selection, and choose black. That's the quickest way to fill a selection. Hope that helps.
Oi cheers for the feedback mate, hope this vid helps ya. Beginner tablets I would recommend are the Wacom Intuous S which is around €99 and is a really solid little tablet, as well as the Huion Kamvas 13 which is a display tablet (essentially a 13" monitor you draw onto) which costs around €220. Both are great little machines that I fully recommend - it all depends what you're hoping to spend. Hope that helps mate!
Hi there. I have a question about the start of a Logo. I made a logo with 2000px x 2000px with 300dpi. Is this enough for the future? Like when I want to make a T-shirt design or making a poster, tour poster and sorts of that? Thanks in advance. this channel is really awesome to learn about photoshop! best regards Andy
Hi Andy, really glad to hear that the vids are useful for ya! 2000px is definitely fine for posters etc, but for merch design I would try to go for 5000px wide minimum to make sure the print captures as much detail as possible. Of course, vector logos is always best for large format such as backdrops etc, but once your raster logo is big enough you can automatically vector it with the trace feature in Illustrator or even free vector software like Inkscape. Hope that helps mate! ⚔️
It's actually not an auto fill. With the selection you've drawn with the free lasso tool open, just press shift+f5 to fill the selection, and choose black. That's the quickest way to fill a selection. Hope that helps.
Hi mate, when you make a selection with the lasso tool you can instantly fill it in by pressing shift+F5 and selecting black as your fill colour. Hope this helps!
That's with perspective warp buddy - should be in the edit drop-down menu, then you just pinch in the edges to get your desired effect. Best of luck with the logo mate 🙏
Hi mate, I use a display tablet to draw. I have a video reviewing the current tablet I use, and show how I use it to draw metal logos. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/AbGtd2HwAlU/видео.htmlsi=sGH7n3cg1mZN4VK9 Hope that helps mate ⚔️
great tutorial dawg. when it comes to pen i can easily draw something of this sort, so if i had a tablet, this would definitely be possible. the only problem is i don’t have the money to afford something i’m not gonna use too often, such as a tablet. i’m curious if this is as possible w mouse, as it is w a tablet
Hi buddy, cheers for checking out the vid! Yep I believe it's definitely achievable with a mouse, when I first started I was using a mouse and this free software my dad got on CD with a camera back in the 00s haha. However if you're interested in a cheaper alternative to current and expensive display tablets I'd recommend checking out second hand Wacom Bamboo's or Wacom Intuos tablets - they're solid little things that are super durable! Hope that helps buddy 🙏
Craic mate! Stoked to hear that you got a wacom, that rules 🙌 I usually have the brush hardness at 100% with the pressure sensitivity turned on for sketching - then I use the free lasso tool for the detailing layers. Hope this helps pal, best of luck with it 🤝🤝
Hi pal - yep when I was starting off I used my laptop trackpad. It's definitely a little trickier using a mouse and it takes a little longer, but it's still achievable! Best of luck pal 🙏
@@SpearheadMedia great work honestly! i would be so glad if you've made a tutorial for that kind of design, looks amazing! also thanks for the great videos!
@@ravenholmn7036 Sick mate, great idea! I'll put that on the list for future tutorials for sure. And nice one mate, I hope the vids have helped ya out with your design work!
Hell yes mate, been thinking of going for a more dirty asymmetrical osdm style for next logo tutorial. Maybe some illustrated elements within the letters too ⚔️
Man, tell me please, are you graphic designer, yes? what is the name of this direction? I think now, i want to be a graphic designer too, because i want to work with logos in future.
Hi mate, that's great that you want to pursue this career. Yep - I am a graphic designer/illustrator and most of my work is music industry based, although I also work with other businesses like streetwear brands, barbers and tattoo shops to name a few! I hope my tutorial videos can help you on beginning your design journey.
@@SpearheadMedia this helpful because you make videos on those topics that are close to me. I think about this long, but i don't know before who is make this works, it seemed to me that it was painters or something
@@likeadead2230 I'm glad that these videos have shed some light on the topic for you. Hopefully I can continue to make videos that will help you find out more about the design and illustration world of metal & hardcore 🙏🙏

It says tutorial but how you make it dark what tool is that how does it auto fill ?
It's actually not an auto fill. With the selection you've drawn with the free lasso tool open, just press shift+f5 to fill the selection, and choose black. That's the quickest way to fill a selection. Hope that helps.
Do u use a brush with the lasso tool? And also do u use a tablet too im guessing?
I use a huion kamvas pro display tablet - it's inexpensive and quite good!
awesome dude
Cheers Mark ye legend!
ay man can u explain how you use the lasso tool and then instantly fill it in?
i just cant get anything to work
Hi mate, when you make a selection with the lasso tool you can instantly fill it in by pressing shift+F5 and selecting black as your fill colour. Hope this helps!
How do you get both sides to skew at the same time?

I don't have mouse pen
What should I do or use a normal mouse?
Hi pal - yep when I was starting off I used my laptop trackpad. It's definitely a little trickier using a mouse and it takes a little longer, but it's still achievable! Best of luck pal 🙏

Awesome tutorial! Just subscribe to ur channel 😊

Those letters need to be spikier.
Not as sharp as you jawline glynn 🗡️
2:42 im really bad at doing those "shaky lines" any tips? or is there a tool which might help me do them
Hi mate I'm afraid there's no real tricks here - I just draw these shapes with my drawing tablet! I use a Huion display tablet. Hope this helps 🙏🙏🙏
@@SpearheadMedia mh ok thanks, i was doing them with my mouse, maybe i should switch to a pen
Yes mate - pen would be best. May take a lil bit of practice, but keep at it! Best of luck
A balanced look is key I know. Fun fact the google "G" isn't a perfect circle because it looks more round to the eye. Cool right?
Aye it's super cool, really interesting how perfect geometry looks "off" to the human eye in some cases!
cool
Much appreciated mate 🙏
what is the name of the style of your first logo at the start of the video?
That style might fall under the bracket of Acid Gfx or Y2K design - truthfully I was inspired by WipeOut 2097 on the PS1 for that logo haha

well, its not a "tutorial" you are no describing which brushes are you using...
I state that it is the free lasso tool, not a brush.
