Tips from Infelice

1. Dapat maalam kang gumamit ng Pen tool kapag magaaral ka kung paano ang vexel. Kapag meron ka nang “advance pen tool skill” . Magiging sobrang dali ng vexelling para sayo.

2. Practice and Practice - Since 2006 pa ako nag vevexel at patuloy na nagpapractice at nag aaral pa. kaya hindi naman sa pagyayabang eh medyo may alam na ako dito.

3. Kailangan mong maging mapasensya kapag mag aaral ka nito - Bawal ito sa maiinitin ang ulo.

4. Sa una mong try wag kang mag expect na maganda agad. Walang nag umpisang PRO.

5. Music + Photoshop + Vexel = Perfect.

Good luck. :) Magtanong lang kayo kung meron kayong gustong itanong :)
