Description Self-portrait (with a few pounds off, hahaha!). Vanity. Wheee.

I just got a copy of Painter 8 (thanks Carlo, if you're visiting!), and since I have never touched that program before, but am hoping to use it on this commission I have right now, I thought I'd do a test run on an old drawing.

Those who saw me at the C3 con might remember this outfit. I drew it during that day (and I always draw myself wearing whatever I'm wearing) and tossed it aside.

Definitely could use some improvement, but I think I basically got the gist of it... I hope

I hope I don't bomb that commission, hahaha!

very kewl! i'm using painter 7...sabi ng kaibigan ko mas madali raw gamitin compared to painter 8 e...but then i haven't seen painter 8..hehe

masaya gumamit ng airbrush! but then...mahirap maglinis kapag lumalagpas..^^

'tis very cute! galing galing..^^ bilis mo talaga matuto..asteg.^^

Hehe, my solution to the lagpas problem is that I do the flats first in photoshop, then I do the freehand shading on Painter, with the transparent pixels locked, para walang lagpas

Were you at SM North today? I thought I saw you, but I couldn't say hi kasi umaandar yung sasakyan ko

Adorable~~ I tried Painter last night but I couldn't figure it out. T__T Is it all right if I ask you questions from time to time (like how to smudge - I can't find the smudger, and I keep accidentally smudging the line art itself)?

yapi In reply to milchstrasse [2004-03-13 03:38:18 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I'm still feeling my way through it as well, but I'll asnwer what I can

I think you can use the blenders to smudge.. Namely the "oily" blenders. As for smudging the line art, maybe make a new layer for the smudged color?

(what I can't figure out is that for some reason, digital watercolor seems to like ignoring the fact that you asked that the layer preserves the transparent pixels... hm. bastardo.)

milchstrasse In reply to yapi [2004-03-13 03:43:45 +0000 UTC]

Uh...yung blenders, saan yun dun sa toolbar? @_@ Anong itsura nung icon? Tsaka pag maliit ba yung 'min. size', ibig sabihin mas mahina ang pressure?

yapi In reply to milchstrasse [2004-03-13 08:31:29 +0000 UTC]

Isa siya dun sa mga mediums, kasama ng watercolor, acrylic, etc.. Yung icon, mukha siyang yung paper nib na ginagamit mo pang-smudge ng charcoal pencil.

Nyaaa, di ko alam yung min. size ^_^;

few pounds off? can't tell. and that's a compliment. i'm a sucker for those leg warmers.

btw, i'm kinda confused with painter 8 controls...

Gwehehe! Yaaaay! I'm not bondat!! hahaha

It was a bit confusing at first, and looking through all mediums just made me go o___o

Took me a few to finally find a "medium" and brush that I was comfy with.

and it kinda bothers me that the shortcuts aren't the same as photoshop... o_O
