I attempted my first ever smudge sig ever (and first time I open ps in over a year).
I plan on practicing a lot and hopefully I'll start improving pretty quickly.

Made this tag yesterday night



I understand that one of the biggest issues is the lighting. Followed a tutorial: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/260/c/5/smudge_signature_tutorial_by_n_95-d4a4zm8.png

Please let me know some tips/link me to tuts to help me improve certain aspects.

I won't get butthurt so don't hold back.
