Description Seriously, I never know what this effect's called, so apologizes if the title mislead you.

Ever since I found out this effect by experiments, I have been using it on all kinds of my works because it's just so cheap and makes wonderful results. Here's to mention some:

But if you look good enough, you'll find this technique used in pretty much all other recent uploads of mine.

So I just thought of sharing this secret with you guys, wish it'll be useful in any way.

This tutorial was made with Photoshop and PaintTool SAI, but this will be applicable in pretty much any software which have an eraser tool.

Photoshop is really expensive normally, but even with downloaded versions, my laptop can not run the program because it doesn't have enough ram. Also I need a tablet, which I will be getting after I am good at drawing trandtionally.

Vista is the most down right lame. I am going to get a XP soon for my new laptop when I grad.
