The triangle-shade-fur thing really helped.. I never thought about it like that! Drawing the triangle-lines for shading fur is genius! Thank you a million! <3

nequita In reply to rawring-paper-dino [2010-01-08 07:25:47 +0000 UTC]

im pretty sure it does. i have never used 8 but it should be basically the same. and use the brush tool for drawing. it looks like a little paintbrush on the tools menu.
