Description A simple tut about blending in Photoshop (I'm using Photoshop CS2) with a pressure sensitive graphics tablet (I'm using a Wacom Intuos 2)

btw this is just how I tend to go about blending, if you have a better method ffs stick with it!!!

of course it doesn't, you need a tablet to do pressure sensitivity, a mouse will never do this i'm afraid.

For people who can't find "other dynamics" it's the "tranfer" option that you have in your brush preset both art the same thing,god knows why Adobe changed the name :\

thank you! do you have any other tutorials or links on PAINTING in CS2/PS (I have CS2 and 7) ??? I'd like to learn to do more than cell shading..... you know, make paintings and not illustrations with cell shading or something simplifies, I feel like I can learn/do so much more if I am able to find people who know the ropes, even if I learn through step-by-steps people post.

Hi, Thanks for your contribution. I've been practicing blending colors with this tutorial but I still can't make it just like you did. Not because I can't do it right at the moment, I just wonder, is there any function that you customized to do this? I mean did you also adjust the opacity or flow other than choosing a stipple brush? Let me know. Thanks.

Zablorg [2012-02-07 10:37:38 +0000 UTC]

This looks like it gives the effect of very fine brush-strokes, which is something I don't see in blending tutorials. Nice work!

zispra [2011-06-17 23:50:30 +0000 UTC]

I am so scared of blending! I tend to use SAI's "watercolor" tool as a crutch, but I feel it gives digital paintings too much of a "smooth" feel, rather than the cool grainy textures you can get from Photoshop. I'll definitely keep this tutorial nearby. Thank you for this, and grats on your DD!
