So I made the brush you use but when I actually start inking it comes out grey. I've made sure the opacity is at 100% and that it's actually black. But it always comes out grey. What am I doing wrong?

@MonnkeyOrgy Check in the Brush options Brush tip shape> Hardness 100% and the spacing at 0%. Check that the Layer opacity is at 100%, and thet the Layer mode is on: Normal.

I just got photoshop cs5, and im so confused, how do you get to the brush preset thingy

[eldropperart]

@rikkijk3 Go to Window > Brush, or you can just click F5 and it will appear.

Another way is by pressing the shortcut button, after selecting the Brush tool (b), in the menu buttons, just right to the PS button (in the upper left corner) look for a button that has a small folder icon with 3 brushes.

Every time I lightly press my pen, the hardness dissapears. I need help with that.

I am working on my very first graphic novel!

So this is really going to come in handy for me very soon!

Rock on artist!
