After stopping by a restaurant at the end of a road, I continued to drive till I reached a beach.  And I then got out of the car and walked on the beach for a few hours, searching for the answer for my life.  I sat and watched the waves that kept coming back.  Then I realized something odd.  A sand drawing appeared out of nowhere.  I looked around, again, but there was nobody else at a winter beach.  I shouted &#8220;Who the hell is doing this?&#8221;  And I took a very close look at the sand drawing.  It said MacHouse.<\/p>\n<p>The following tutorial shows steps to create a sand drawing on a beach, using Adobe Photoshop CS2.  The beach photo used in this tutorial comes from <a href=\"http:\/\/pdphoto.org\/PictureDetail.php?mat=pdef&#038;pg=5566\">PD Photo<\/a>.  <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Use <strong>Type Tool<\/strong> to write a word.
