    Im just wondering, because it takes skills to make it, but it takes an artistic mind to figure out what to do, and to see if things match and look right. I have skills in photoshop, but most of the time I cant figure out what to make, and if its any good.

    Equal. You need to be artistic to know what to do, and skill to do it.

    I agree with PointZero125, just brushes and knowing how 2 do thing's dosn't meen that we can 2 a good image, we have to have an idea of what 2 do, and from there comes the artist part... :)

    I disagree with playakilla. Throwing brushes at your canvas will never get you anything. You need a vision or concept of what you want to do, and then, from there, it's skill. Just having an idea won't get you a good piece. You have to be able to make it too. :)

    Equal...you need to practice, but you have to have at least a bit of an artistic mind.

    I'd have to vote equal on this one. You could have all the skill in the world, but that doesn't mean anything you make will be appealing.

    yeah thats a very good way to put it, but i think you have to have skill and know alot about photoshop to have nice sigs, and you have to know how to make it look nice with artistic skills so you do have to have both.

    I must disagree with you here. You need to know where to place them, be able to make parts contrasted correctly, and so on.

    i should have put equal, but it takes more artistic talent...
    just brushing doesnt get you anything. you need to know how to use colour, and effects, (thats where the skill comes in)
    and skill... all skill for photoshop is, is memory. remembering how do ddo stuff.

    my two cents
