new here and new in the photoshop world but getting better ! at least i try!

I am a backhoe loader operator and passionate for heavy equipment dump trucks and offhwy trucks.And yes i am a female!

So while i am here i just wanted to ask if it is possible to find custom shapes of big excavators or backhoes.Or maybe do it myself with some guide?

Hi and welcome to BioRUST.

I seem to remember quite a while ago someone here was asking for custom shapes of monster trucks. I did a search and couldn't find much in the way of any sort of "heavy plant" shapes. I think your best bet would be to find some images and make your own custom shapes from them.

Thank you for the welcome.

I would be willing to do it but i would'nt know how to do but i'll do a search if i can find tuts about custom shapes.Find a pic won't be the most difficult part! lol
I wouldn't know where to start.

Do you know how to use pentool?
If yes, then great.
If no, then check http://forums.biorust.com/tutorial-s...how-101-a.html (Paths, Curves, Custom Shapes and How-to 101) (yes i'm a baštard and linked to my own tutorial)

After you know how to handle the pen tool just use it to create the shape by following the outline of the truck on your picture. Did i explain too hard? If so please tell me

I used the pentool for the first time,i found a tutorial and could do something good but i used the pic showed on the site (a gun so not too much details to draw.
It's 4h30 am i should go to bed now
But, thanks for the help and if allowed i will post my backhoe shape when done ,Hey it's the machine i work with everyday but it's also a big toy lol
