Hey again folks! Time for part 3 of this tutorial set on how to go from just lines to colored art! ^^
There are not a whole lot of instructions to give when it comes to painting, it's just something you know or you dont. You can of course practise and get better. All I can do is give you some tips based on experience!
I used only ONE single brush for all the painting. It was a medium hard brush, with opacity at 70%. Since I have a preassure sensitive wacome tablet, I can effect the preassure as much as I like. Part of the secret is painting in light strokes, over and over again. A good example on what I mean is our fellow ~howlinghorse who's using the technique of light preassure and flow. Look at her gallery to get a sense of what I mean, her cg work almost looks like watercolor, very beautiful.

1. Here it is, all untouched. First thing we wanna do is 'lock' the layer. Cross the transperacy box while having your chosen layer active (the body this time). What this does is that the only place where the brush will work, is on areas allready painted. You can try it yourself - while marks appear on the grey, nothign will appear outside, wher it's transperant!
The transperacy box is located around the top of the layer window - there are four boxes on a row and it's the first one you should check - like in the image!
