how do you make your userboxes? i've gone looking for tutorials before but the only one i found didn't work for me .::(
I use ibis paint x to make them! I also use this template
I usually get my images from pinterest and/or google, depending on what the request is for.
I get my subject and my 2 pictures. the left one is for the icon, and the right one is for the background (credit to this post for the pet dreaming flag!)
I then import the template as a new piece.
I use the selection tool to select the icon box, and then insert the icon picture I want.
for the smaller rectangle, I select that rectangle and then fill it in with whatever colour fits the userbox (you can also lower the opacity to 80-90% if you want)
I then insert the background WITHOUT selecting the background. you do not need to select the background, but you can if you want. IF YOU DO, you’ll end up with a thin white line around where the template is.
this is what the layers should look like once you’re done the designing part
now you just gotta insert the text! just go to the text option, select “add text” and put in the text you want for your userbox. you can also change the font and size if you want (highly recommend this because the default font kinda sucks and you want the text to be big enough to read). if you want to have that little white border around the letters, just go to style and change the stroke colour/thickness (the FIRST slider, not the second one!!)
and there you go! you now have your userbox! just save it, and bam! here’s the finished product of the example.
hope this helps! feel free to leave any questions below; I’m free to answer any questions if anything was confusing or unclear :3
