photoshop tutorial - how i do it

[jumpinj2000]

whats your flow for your brush?

[abovocipher]

@jumpinj2000 usually varies from 15%-85% i think for this tutorial i had it close to 50%..? but that's just a guess. its best to draw a little with a percentage and see how you like it. Just play around with it :)

Is you brush opacity always set to 100%?

[abovocipher]

yeah usually, unless i want to do some subtle shading, but if u set the brush options on pen pressure. that helps alot when u want to use it lightly and dont wan to change the opacity. hope that makes sense.

[Urhed]

Thanks for your response, It helps alot :)

[abovocipher]

Not a problem :)

Do you still use CS2 or are you upgrading to CS3? Or CS4?

[abovocipher]

yeah I still use cs2, I'm comfortable with it, and as far as I know cs3 or 4 isn't really that much different for what I use it for. I've seen a bunch of artists still using photoshop 7 and making images that look way better than mine. So I think its all what your comfortable with.

[AnimationArtist001]

weecan u buy cs2? and for how much?

Nice tutorial! Also, Whats the names of the music used?

[abovocipher]

they are from the unreal tournament 3 soundtrack, i forget the actual name but they are all good :)

[sergie]

Thanks for the reply, again awesome tutorial!

[Mitchelldvc]

wow that shits amazing. Are your drawings original or are they placed over an already made sketch or something?

[abovocipher]

they are original

[darksaiyan2006]

And great choice of music as well! :P Thanks for the tutorial.

[Denzell007]

WoW AMAZING!!! love the way you draw. thanks for giving tips to draw:)

[abovocipher]

not a problem, thanks for the comment :)

[mxgotland]

what program are you using? :)

[abovocipher]

just photoshop cs2, but ive seen alot of digital artists use photoshop 7 and up

[mxgotland]

is it very expensive to buy?

[abovocipher]

yeah, the older ones would be less id imagine. if you want to draw digitally, itd also be good to get a digital tablet. like from wacom or theres other companys that have cheaper ones

[mxgotland]

what company can sell me a good tablet to a good price? i want one to draw your darth maul or something like that

[abovocipher]

thanks :)

amazeing

[sputnik90]

could you direct me to some other tutorials? this ones really decent. apart from the fact we saw the finished pic for a fraction of a second, the final product is obviously amazing. its a really good beginning, maybe you could slow down the beginning of each major feature (eyes, nose) because anyone can touch up when they have a good base of a feature, but its a lot harder just to begin. really nice. peace.

[abovocipher]

i had to shorten the vid to fit it into 10mins, but i just put a link to the finished picture in the comments

[abovocipher]

yeah sorry, you can download the larger size in the comment

Great technique, great tutorial.

[eratoscribe]

Makes me think maybe even I could draw heh

[mortalsphere]

Very good first tutorial. Your processes are clear but not over technical.
