fam - I need help making a signature/banner in Photoshop

[N.U.G.]

whattup fam,

first of all - shoutouts to Illmuzik member "Daymo" who made a tight banner that Fade will be putting up soon... back to the subject at hand though, for a bit of fun and becuase it looks coo,l I want to try and make a signature that I can use on here and at MySpace etc.

I'm trying to make something that kinda like this;

As far as I understand you can outline her body in black pixel by pixel. With a black background (or any solid color) you can copy and past the picture anywhere you want. i don't know much about this though gl

looks dope bro,

a couple of things - I'm kinda wanting it more zoomed in on her face/upper body. plus I do want a totally new background and ish

how would I remove her face bosy from that background? is it hard to do?

 

[bigdmakintrax]
