it's possible to do this with a mouse but I don't suggest it (RSI!), I personally did it with a tablet

I love this~ Thanks so much for taking your time

You used the standard brush, at what size? And how much hardness does it have >_<; I need those figured out! I tried so much to get the right sizes/Smoothness and all but I cannot ]:

Nice tutorial I liked the tip with the "dotty" brush for the hair. I discovered that too these days. I also enjoy your tone So relaxed! [link]

I dunno if is just me but it isn't 30 EASY steps...
I tried do draw according to this tutorial since 13.00 to 19.00 and the only result was that I lost my patient and and became in a very bad mood...
Sorry, but I'm just very tired and mad on myself, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you tutorial...its just me.

if you're using a mouse, then you won't have pressure sensitivity, if you're using a tablet, try setting the Brush setting for pressure to Pen Pressure
