Photoshop tutorial: drawing a glass of beer
Eren Göksel has an excellent tutorial showing you how to draw a glass of beer using Photoshop.
In this tutorial, we're going to draw a beer glass with some beer in it. We'll create the shiny curly glass with reflection, put some beer in it, add some bubbles, and finally we'll make the shadow and the reflections. Meanwhile, I hope you'll have some fun and learn some cool techniques too.Illustrating a Cool Glass of Beer

Back in my day, we used a keg with a tap in it to draw a glass of beer. Cheers! :-P
Sorry, folks --- I just HAD to get that bit o' PUNishment out of the way.
...Anyone got a link on how to "re-fleshtone" B&W photos of people?
I realize that Adobe has incorporated more and more of the features of Illustrator into Photoshop, but I still would not use Photoshop to draw an image from scratch.
I'd rather do it with Inkscape, but I always appreciate a good drawing tutorial.
Ish thash Pisswasser Bier? Looks like urine.
Re: #2 (OM) I don't have a link to any site that gives step-by-step for re-flesh-toning BW photos of people, but I have a theory based on color-correcting I've done when compositing in Photoshop. (This works for changing the shade of brown of flesh tones, so I imagine it should work on a BW picture as well; it would just take longer.)
1. Make a copy of your picture in case you screw it up.
2. Open a file with a color photograph displaying a person with the flesh tones you wish to mimic.
3. Enlarge your target picture. Using the "magic wand" tool, highlight an area of the face (preferably a very small one).
4. Using the "eyedropper" tool, select a color from a similarly-lit part of the face on the color photo.
5. Color-fill that color into the highlighted area on the BW picture. This will look really weird at first, but as you continue along these lines, it should start to look natural.
6. Small edgy areas or missed spots can be smoothed over with the airbrush. Faces can also be highlighted and then the brightness & contrast levels can be edjusted separately from the rest of the picture.
7. Warning: unless you're going for an artsy look, you'll have to colorize the entire picture.

Who's gonna drink the flat beer?
Mmmm...yellow foam-free beer. *drool*
The title of the tutorial is an example of pun intentional AND pun unavoidable!
One advantage of drawing your own glass of beer is that you can make it any beer you want, however difficult to obtain in life. I'll draw a Duchesse du Burgoyne, I think. Mmmmmm....
Re: #3 Thank you. How can we get this message out? I do print design, and most people simply cannot understand why Illustrator is better for things like this. They also can't understand why Photoshop makes my job hell.
