I've never looked at text this way. I mean in a artistic way. Text has great potential for creating beautiful arts!

Hello, I am so glad find your channel and learn all your technics. Right now I would like to learn how to change back color of a image. for example, the satin sheet color with a different color pillow on it. I just want to change the sheet color. Thank you. Since you have so many tutorials and I thought I better leave a message to you. I hope I can get your reply. Thank you. God Bless you.
