Best Useful Css Tips (For beginners)

Use Shorthand Css

Shorthand CSS gives you a shorter way of writing your CSS codes, and most important of all – it makes the code easier to understand.

Instead of creating CSS like this

img1
image-2342

It can be short-handed into the following:

img2
image-2343

Understanding Class And ID

These two selectors repeatedly confuse beginners. In CSS, class is represented by a dot.” while id is a hash#“. In a nutshell id is used on style that is distinctive and don’t repeat itself, class on the other side, can be re-use.

Forget <Table>, Try <Div>

One of the greatest advantages of CSS is the use of <div> to attain total flexibility in terms of styling. <div> are unlike <table>, where substances are ‘locked’ within a <td>‘s cell. It’s safe to say most  <table> layouts are attainable with the use of <div> and proper styling, well maybe except considerable tabular contents.

CSS Padding

Padding is the space between the border of an HTML element and the content within it.

Padding of an element in a single property as follows:

padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;

If you declare all four values as above, the order is as follows:

Top, right, bottom, left

Beautiful Fantasy Eyes

Today we shall explore the basics on how we can create Fantasy Eyes effects in Photo shop.

Now Download the image and open up in Photo shop.

fantasy-eyes
image-233

Let us start off with glowing the eyes. Make selections around the 2 black eyes with the Elliptical Marquee tool. Go to Select > Modify > Feather. Set the Radius to 20px.

fantasy-eyes-elliptical-marquee
image-234

Press Ctrl+C (to copy) and Ctrl+V (to paste). You will get a new layer with just the selected area. Rename this new layer as “Eyes Glow”. Set the Blend Mode of this layer to Screen. Then duplicate the “Eyes Glow” layer for another 3 times and you will get something similar to mine below.

fantasy-eyes-glow
image-235

Create a Curves Adjustment Layer. Go to the Green and Blue channels and set the curves to the ones below.

fantasy-eyes-curves-adjustment
image-236

Create a Levels Adjustment Layer and set the values to 20, 0.84, 255.

fantasy-eyes-levels-adjustment
image-237

Create a new layer and name it as “Face Color”. Set the foreground color to #45ADCA. Using the Soft Rounded Brush with size 200px, paint the face below both eyes. Set the Blend Mode of this layer to Soft Light when you are done.

fantasy-eyes-blend-mode
image-238

Open up the Brush panel and key in the settings as shown below.

fantasy-eyes-brush-panel
image-239

Create a new layer and name it as “Glitter”. Using the Brush tool with size 3px and color #FFFFFF, brush around the bluish area to add the glittering effect. Right-click on the “Glitter” layer and go to Blending Options. Choose Outer Glow with its default settings.

fantasy-eyes-glitter
image-240

Repeat the earlier step for the border around the big pair of eyes.

fantasy-eyes-border-around
image-241

This step is really random. You can start designing how you want to add some patterns to the face. For mine, I downloaded the Swirl Curls from CreateSk8. Place the floral patterns around the eyes area.

fantasy-eyes-designing
image-242

Merge all the pattern together in a single area. Go to Image > Adjustment > Hue/Saturation. Make the Lightness to -100. This will turn the pattern in to black. Set the Blend Mode of this layer to Soft Light. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Set the Radius to 2px.

fantasy-eyes-gaussian-blur
image-243

Create an Exposure Adjustment Layer and key in the settings below.

fantasy-eyes-exposure-adjustment

Create a Levels Adjustment Layer and set the values to 15, 1, 255.

Realistic View Tears on Face

tears-effect
image-205

In this Photoshop tutorial I would like to invite your attention to the unique technique how to make realistic view tears effect.

So, in the beginning you should find a good picture to work with. You can try to find it on stock photo web sites or also can use mine. Open up the picture. Then select the Pen Tool and try to make good form of the tear with black color.

tear-Pen-tool
image-206

Pay your attention that the form must be how much more uneven to be similar to a real tear. When we are done with form, then change layer mode to Screen for the current layer and apply following Blending Options:

  • Drop Shadow
  • Inner Shadow
  • Inner Glow
  • Bevel and Emboss
  • Gradient Overlay

tear-drop-shadow

tear-inner-shadow
image-208

tear-inner-glow
image-209

tear-bevel-and-emboss
image-210

tear-gradient-overlay
image-211

The result should be next:

tear-result
image-212

Looks good, but not so realistic for now. I would like to bring some white glare to this form. Select the Pencil Tool and brush about 1 pixel, then make a few dots with white color on the new layer like on my picture below.

tear-pencil-tool
image-213

After that apply Blur Tool to current layer.

image-214

We got a nice realistic view result isn’t it? Don’t be afraid to experiment and you will get your own cool effects!
