wooww yes
I think the steps should be more detailed for example, try giving better pictures and deeper instructions for beginners.
Great concept and artwork but the tutorial writing needs improvement. More effort describing each step would help.
period
This tutorial was slightly confusing, but by the end I got the hang of it. Thanks, the results were impressive!
I am a graphic designer so I just ended up using this as a basic guideline since following these directions was getting confusing. I do like the result though. Thanks for the tut.

The spelling in this is awful. It's very confusing and doesn't always make a lot of sense.
This is terrible . He calls the layers by different names the whole time, its inconsistent, confusing, and pretty vague. This tutorial will drive you crazy.
