Question. How do you colorize a texture? If you mean the drop-down menu on the layers window, when I use it.....everything turns a nasty grey. It happens to evry one I have used.

I use a colorize funcrion thats not in the layers menu. In PSP its colors> colorize... I don't know what it is for other program's but I hope that helps :3

It's okay! And I think I figured it out but it's ..... different o_o Oh well! I can basically use burn and didge to alter it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually never really liked burn or dodge. Mostly because its pretty obvious when you use those tools.... unless you do it subtly!

I've been wanting to use textures for a long time now, considering the fact that they make images look so much less perfect~

Oh I see, really helpful
I never use textures in my drawings, I've tried to am... emulate that effect with brushes 'coz I don't know where to get good textures or maybe I fear them haha 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea emulating with brushes is really the way to go..... using textures like this is kind of not such a good tecnique, but it does the job :3

That sounded SO easy...but still. Better to simplify something if it still gets the point across. ^^

Thanks for making it and the effort you put in this! I don't know if a lot of people tell you this but you're truly appreciated for all the honest effort you put in your work and every single thing you do in this community.

I've always loved the use of textures like this but I just can't seem to fit them into my pictures :\
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yea its a bit awkward to try to force them in..... Its become more of a stylized thing. I like textures to be either very faint and discrete (then they are used well) or really really bold and obvious (ala stylistically). I think its difficult to learn where and how to apply them to get the effects you want...

Very nice tutorial...simple but more importantly leaves room for a lot of inspiration and creativity. I'll have to do some experimenting with something like this and try some different presentations for my work.
