I dont get it !! when I go to do a bit map my duplicated layer just shrinks !! anyone got any Idea's as to where i'm going wrong?

[Jartemeous]

holding shift down doesn't do anything when i use the eraser tool. Is there some setting i have to tweak to set that?

[ryebin022]

[jamateva95]

[Chuppsi]

what must i press? at 2:30?

shift and?

[varikaz]

shift and control and U

[maxnsanderson]

very helpful, thank you :D

[wetdefek]

how did you make the diameter of the eraser go smaller or bigger without changing it on the toolbar?

[ernescalante06]

bracket keys "[" and "]"

[L33tm4st3r]

something that will help you out, instead of using the eraser tool to erase the background layer, go to the paths tab (next to layers) and create a new path. now grab the pen and just click "verts" around your art. then right click the path and select "make selection", then invert the selection and press delete. saves a massive amount of time

[freetutorials]

True. One reason I use the mouse/shift-click on this project is so I can get the straight, clean lines that you see in Pop Art. But thank you for the suggestion!

[EncausticBliss]

Do you use a mouse or do you use a pen, like wacom products?

[freetutorials]

I use a mouse, but I do like the pen/tablet.

[EncausticBliss]

Do you think the pen/tablet is better? I want to know if it is worth it...but it seems most people prefer the mouse. Thx! your videos rock!

[freetutorials]

If I had the extra money I would get a Wacom tablet. There's definitely a learning curve if you've been using a mouse for a while, but most professional graphic artists use the pen/tablet setup. It's nice if you get one that lets you slide a photo or image under the pad so you can trace over items.

[L33tm4st3r]

i use a wacom religiously for sketching on photoshop, but i generally do this kind of stuff with the mouse. it's just a lot less of a hassle sometimes, but i definitely recommend a tablet

[Arkonic]

What suggestions do you have on darker skin? This effect only works on lighter skin.

[freetutorials]

If you can send me a photo I can play with some different methods to see what I can come up with.
