I have seen some fantastic kits being made by so many of your over the last year or so and would really love to know how to do it myself... I feel quilty asking you guys for kits all the time and feel its about time i learned how to do them...Trouble is i have not got the first clue where to start... Please help!!

get a paint package and learn the tools first.
esp layers and their properties,vector tools and resizing

Ok cheers jim!!!

good luck
