@idrawgirls Thanks! :D I found it after looking at your website again.

[idrawgirls]

@MrsBenzedrine1 No prob, people often skip the basic and go straight into fancy stuff. Though the gem are always in the most basic principle. ;-)

Finally a great great great TOOLS tutorial. THAT is really helpful, xia. When I watch these tutorials and see you doing something unexpected or just smth I dont know, it exasperates me, but knowing what does each tool do and how&when to use them guides me a lot. I've learned with this, thanks dude :D

[Dragonblade180]

why is your pic movable in the PS screen? >.>...mine isnt wah

[Togusa]

If you're talking about the window that you're working on, you just minimize it to a small window so it is movable.

[Dragonblade180]

i kind of discovered that just a couple of days ago =.="

[markdawes]

Your brush mode is set to linear dodge all through this... Is that right..?

Didn't mean that as a crit, you are without doubt, one of the most informative and inspirational artists to wield a wacom,!

Question!

How can i make sure when i print my painting, it is the same color as on the monitor. You mentioned something in the color pallet box thing, but you weren't very loud and clear.

I have a friend who always has to go through 3 prints to try and find a good enough print, changing settings to get to the most similar as on the PC.

[freak9118]

what i learnt is when working on a project u wanna print, set the colour mode to cymk first before u start. coz monitor screens are in rgb. and printers goes by cmyk. k = black, making prints darker and duller than compared to a vibrant monitor.

[ricefarmer]

thanks buddy and ur videos i bought on ur site have been helpful

[Rryma]

thanks :D exactly what i wanted to know :D

[Lyod03]

that's pretty useful, thanks !

[bovery23]

[richieNJ]

One question: what software you use to record this video? I have Camtasia Studio, but the recording is slow compared to this video.

[Toddjumper]

Have you tried Cs4 out yet. I do not like how they arrange windows in it, by Tab, though harder to drag layers around to different projects. You can separate each project into floating windows though.

[0YuriS0]

u can draw a window in cs3 as well..

[Hickoryurmom]

exelant, thank

[turnbacktime]

this is what we were all waiting for we need more vids like this.

[TernolHK]

keep em coming :D

[ACherimoya]

Wow, this is exactly what I was waiting for! Awesome video!! It's great to see the tools you use most often!

[brettlee25]

i've learned a lot from your videos thank you so much :)

[L4s4gn3]

Interresting... I never use the dodge/burn tool. honestly, you're the first digital painter i see using those tools :D

*I don't mean that in a negative way ^^
