Do you know how to use the layers in Open Canvas 1.1? I've tried to figure it out using a lot of different tutorials, but they're all for the newer versions. (I've just switched over from Sai since my trial ended so I'm a bit confused with how to use open canvas layers DX )

Hello
I was wondering, since you use a tablet and all, do you know if a Wacom Pen and Touch tablet supports a Windows 2000 operating system?

So do you color the two diff colors on the same layer?
or do you color the base color for vincents shirt on one layer and the one for Seph on another?

In this drawing I made two layers, one for the base of Seph and the other for Vincent's.

If u mean turning the thing around then u just have to press space and u can just turn it around with ur pen or mouse and u can also zoom in or out with it ^^

Try restoring the window, clicking on the window besides the second small "x" (under the X that closes the window), it'll remove the window from full size and you can move it around.

Mila-Valentine In reply to memphis05 [2008-03-04 04:08:14 +0000 UTC]

You're zooming it too much, you should zoom out, around 25% and make a big sketch, and later zoom in to make the details.
