[SSDEdward]

Best help so far, going to check out the rest of what you have now. ty :)

[szabofoktszilard]

You are an exellent teacher and paint, if I could give you and advice? or maybe tip? on that painting with the sea monster, you could add some blur maybe? so it's more action type painting, i'm just saying :P

[DW1014]

Finally someone that's actually showing a step by step and not being a jerk and just showing off through speed painting, I kind of get the concept of how it's done but there's just some things that don't come out like I think it will because of the technical part confuses me a bit so this definitly helps

[TheSonneillon]

At last something good! I just hate speedpainting... and I like this kind of tutorials :) Can't wait to see another parts

[nickedreprography]

You, sir.

Is awesome.

[fdxpunk]

where do i hand in my homework?

[SuperThunderdrum]

what settings on the pad do you have so that you are able to zoom in that far without the paint getting pixelated so easily?

[owenowen212]

Amazing, thank you so much. This is such a great starting place for beginners like me. :)

I have a few questions, if you could give me your best answer it would be a world of help.

1. Can you have a tablet for a desktop PC?

2. What version of photoshop do you use?

3. I am plan going into the video game design industry also and I was wondering what type of schooling (university/college) did you take to give you such experience?

[17dbJohn]

@biggestfanof300 I can answer question 1 and 2 for you!

You can have tablet for any kind of pc as long as it has an usb input.

He using Photoshop CS5.

Hope I could help.

[biggestfanof300]

@17dbJohn you very well did

[KookiesCartoons]

@biggestfanof300

1. you can use tablets on any computer that has an USB input (thats every computer i know of)

2. Photoshop CS5 it isn't free

3. If you want to have any arts as a proffession you have to practice a whole lot, not just schooling. How much you practice is a very important thing, what you teach yourself is around 75% of the skill you need for drawing. Schools you should apply for things directed to one pieced illustration.

Practice is the key, im 13 and i practice 5h+ daily c:

[ariesamfcaballo123]

where do you get photoshop...

i really want it...

[Hellvantard]

@ariesamfcaballo123

You can buy it uprfront... expensive. You can get it with a very high end graphics tablet package... VERY expensive.

Or you can just pirate it... cheap but risky.

[ariesamfcaballo123]

@Hellvantard

thanksss

[Mdesigner10]

I'm looking into purchasing a tablet. I don't want to spend copious amounts of my precious dollars, but I have a keen interest in starting digital painting. Does anyone have a suggestion for what kind I should look into? I have an idea from my research thus far, but I always love to hear suggestions from experience.

Also, thank you for the incredible video! Its helped me work through the basic concepts a lot better than any other video I've seen.

[kmde666]

@AlexWearsHatsArt wacom all the way. it doesnt matter what tablet if ur getting a wacom branded one.

[Shinzu92]

I just got a wacom tablet but my pen has no sensitivity on Photoshop CS5. How do you set it so it can recognize the sensitivity. I know the tablet and pen works because I did the tutorial that came with the tablet and it worked but when I opened up PS the tablet only did an "on/off" brush. I'm running Windows 7, Photoshop CS5, Wacom Bamboo Pen/Touch.

[zanpaku]

so you say that a tablet is much better than a mouse, but how does it compare to say a portable laptop with a touch screen. could that possibly work just as well? would you recommend it?

[mrbiotech]

@zanpaku A modern Wacom tablet has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity with a high level of resolution. A capacitive touchscreen will probably have significantly less pressure sensitivity, and low resolution, although it will permit other nifty things, like multi-touch. Wacom tablet is highly recommended, even a basic Bamboo unit!

[mislam13]

@zanpaku portable laptop?laptops were meant to be portable lol

[Criterion515]

@zanpaku "so you say that a tablet is much better than a mouse, but how does it compare to say a portable laptop with a touch screen. could that possibly work just as well? would you recommend it?"

If you mean a standard touchpad on a laptop, no, there is no comparison. A touchpad is probably the worst possible device to use for graphics. Not recommended at all. If it is actually a touch screen it may be better to use than a mouse, but still nowhere near a tablet.

[techgil]

Thank you a million times over. Big fan.

[IcerC]

Thank you! Your video is exactly what i needed to build up the courage to draw in PS.

[TheWarOrphan]

Thanks Matt!

[SpookyFan]
