Description Here's a little tutorial I made, maybe it'll help someone get a little more comfortable with Photoshop.

These are techniques I tend to use when painting on Photoshop.

How do you work the pressure? Mine was working one day and turned off the next? Is there a certian button or something?

raerae In reply to ShadowDragonFox [2009-08-27 12:06:47 +0000 UTC]

Certain brushes already have pressure automatically on. And if you go into the Master Brush Settings, you can set pressure to things like flow, opacity, size of brush, and so on.

Or if you're talking about the tablet pen itself, might be a driver error. It can usually be fixed by restarting. If not, reinstall the drivers.

do you use pen pressure in your brushes?

raerae In reply to NeverBlink [2009-01-28 02:05:21 +0000 UTC]

Usually, but I've managed to get similar effects without using it(my old tablet's pressure would stop working when it was on it's last legs), I just have to lower the opacity and flow a tad more.

Fab tutorial, thank you so much! Too many tutorials simply assume that you already know which settings to put your brush onto, and that was what I needed the help with, so thank you so much, this will certainly come im handy!

Please, how do you do that super-looking Gradient with Brush? Thx

raerae In reply to BeryUmbreon [2007-10-26 03:22:06 +0000 UTC]

With a brush a really low opacity, going over certain parts until it's a gradient.

About your shading technique... Errr.. How did you know which colors to get?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

raerae In reply to lorraine-kristine [2007-07-15 13:46:56 +0000 UTC]

Basic color theory, lighting, and so on. Skin, for example, is slightly transparent. This is why I use purple a lot for my deep shadows, because of the red and blue blood vessels underneath the skin.

Anyway, I suggest taking a gander at [link] , It helped me a lot perhaps it will help you.

Do you use a tablet or just a mouse?

raerae In reply to Clouded-Mind [2007-06-26 02:34:26 +0000 UTC]

I use a tablet. I tend to use Selections if I must work with a mouse.

Selections? I'm not sure I know what you mean.

raerae In reply to Clouded-Mind [2007-06-26 05:44:24 +0000 UTC]

Like so: [link]

It helps me gain control I lack when using a mouse.

O.O Why do you have 26 faves and only 3 comments on this deviation? Eh, I know there aren't that many shy people in the world (or are there?) >.< Well, anyways nice tutorial I've been trying out the photoshop trial version and was slightly confuse. I'm more used to arcsoft- due to it's simplicity. But this tutorial seems as if it could be of some help
