Win a Wacom Intuos4 Tablet and Corel Painter 11!
Happy Thursday everyone! Before we go into the tutorial of the day, I wanted to point out that time is almost out for you to take part in our Layers Back Page Design Contest here on the Layers Magazine website – the contest ends July 10!

The concept is pretty cool. You design something based on the contest’s mission, and if selected, you win awesome prizes. This time around the contest is pretty straightforward:
“Your mission is to create a poster or flier promoting a sporting event where a mobile device is going head-to-head against a desktop computer. Each device needs to be an illustration of your own creation (no photos of the actual devices allowed, but you can use photos in other parts of your design).”
The judges will be looking at the overall design, creativity, use of type, and quality of the illustrations. Keep in mind, if you want to win the grand prize, you have to show us your skills as an illustrator. (Note: Please proofread your designs, or have someone proofread them for you. Typos have a negative impact on the judging.)
The grand prize winner will receive a medium Wacom Intuos4 and a copy of Corel Painter 11. That’s a retail value of $778! With Intuos4 offering 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity and the latest version of Painter adding incredible new features such as tablet tilt, you’ll be creating masterpieces that will make the masters themselves roll over with jealousy.
