that was good ! I am always looking for better ways to colour. ^^
and I do have one question....
when taking the part "how to paint"
could you just take the main dark colour, work up to lighter (like you said ) then blend them? or is changing the opacity better...?

IMO Changing the opacity is kinda slow for me, but it's useful when you want to get like a smooth change in gradient and what not.

that is true, but I get that with the smudge tool, too.

ummm...can u use a mouse with this tutorial? I don't have a tablet....well I used to until I lost the tablet pen and mouse, so I can't use it anymore. Can it be done with a regulaur mouse?

thesealovesthesky In reply to tsukinohoshi [2007-07-29 00:43:02 +0000 UTC]

Yes you can use a mouse with this technique, but you have to change the flow/opacity/space more often than tablet users (and size too >o< )

WOO nifty.
Yargh, I wonder if it's the same with a mouse.. Probably not. Dx
But good tips still, especially with the brushes and shortcuts. xD Yum.

thesealovesthesky In reply to xNeko [2007-07-28 23:03:42 +0000 UTC]

XD
I spent a day or two looking over the shortcuts and coming up with my own X3
Most of them are the same with a mouse, but you just have to change the opacity/spacing/flow more often than tablet users >o<
