Description A basic tutorial I'm creating to help Tang with her painting. Yes.

This is a panel from my Versus Goth Girls comic.


NOTE: If you're getting ugly chunky lines with the darker bits, lower the opacity, until it blends better. You want it to blend, but also want it to be defined enough that it stands out. You may have to fiddle with it a little.

THankyou so much for this!!!


Ahhh, so you don't paint everything on one layer like a real canvas But you do just directly select the colour when painting shadows and highlights! I found it easier to set my shadow layer to linear bure and highlights to linear dodge haha


Oh also, do you make the opacity of the brush variable with pen pressure?

No, but that would actually be a good idea  ^.^

I shall try that.

Usually, I just use pen pressure for size and thickness of my lines.

The technique is just really simple.

This is a great little tutorial. I'm only just beginning to dabble in computer art, so the simplicity and straight-forwardness of it all was really appreciated. It was helpful, thanks!
