Could you send us a link for that "Opacity Pen" brush you mentioned? or is it already in Photoshop?

pettyartist In reply to Fuerst1 [2013-02-20 05:30:55 +0000 UTC]

It's already in photoshop! It's one of the standard set brushes.

Thanks! My drawings always look so flat when I color and shade them, I couldn't tell how people made the color so nice looking.

Can you tell me the setting for the airbrush when you were coloring the sunshine? My laptop has really low volume and I seem to miss a few details>v<

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

pettyartist In reply to valkryz [2012-08-24 17:47:16 +0000 UTC]

Haha no problem!

Sorry about the audio-- I couldn't get it any louder without completely destroying the audio quality itself.

I just use the airbrush pen opacity flow brush that comes standard in photoshop. It's auto-set at 19px wide, but I usually use a larger size to keep it from being streaky.

Hope that helps!

pettyartist In reply to calico-feathers [2012-08-24 15:53:34 +0000 UTC]

Pretty much which CRACKS ME UP.

Watson is always taking care of Sherlock (preening him, etc.) and they go on adventures together all the time.


(Also Sherlock jumps out of his cage a lot)

This was great! I think I'll try it out for Nuzlockes! But I was seeing that you were using a lot of yellows and whites for the happier look (or maybe I'm CRAAA~ZZYY. What colors would work for darker scenes?

Usually desaturated blues/violets. It depends on if I'm going for a scarier or a sadder scene.
