Tutorial request

[Dinesh]

Is there a tutorial on how to create your own avatars and sigs using apps like Paint.NET or Photoshop CS5? I tried searching the forum but no avail. Or perhaps, can some of you GFX Gurus can make a new tutorial on creating a new custom signature?

have (hours of) fun! luckily photoshop comes with a month's free trial.

i find the most difficult thing is the original idea!

that's why i haven't changed mine for over a year.

@ Dwarf: Thanks for these links. I also have bookmark'd a couple of such sites.
@ Angelo: Yes, I have insatalled the 30days trial version to learn and find out if I can learn to use it.

You're welcome, Dinesh.

I'm afraid my artistic skills are non-existant and, such as they are, they make a 3yr old's paint splattering look like a masterpiece.
