Description
Been experimenting with the smudge tool a lot lately for super-speedy ideations with simple brushes. It's more like sculpting than painting, true pixel-pushing.Related content

Do you have any tips on how to use the smudge tool properly? I know many pros use it but when I do it looks awfully amateur and ugly, and you clearly know how to do it, it looks great. I really like the big gate, it's so simple yet it looks so good

I'm toying with the idea of putting together a video on the process. Here I alternated between a hard round and square brush with all settings off, pulling out shapes from blobs of color painted on it's own layer.

I'd be really thankful if you could, but even if you couldn't thanks a lot for the tip, I'm gonna try to do that next time

Love the scale on this but I think those clouds are obscuring the gate a bit too much, maybe if they were a little smaller and perhaps if one was behind it?

Thanks for the input This was originally just a doodle I decided to polish. The gate was added at the end to fill up all the empty blue sky, I did try to push the bottom cloud back but that made the perspective seem wonky. Lessons learned

Ah I see it now, it was subtle enough that I didn't notice it. Looks good regardless!
