This is a nice tut, but it seems almost like it's a tut for the program, as opposed to choosing colors for painting a picture.

This seemed so strongly focused on the pressure/gradient tool.

anyway it's nice. I wouldn't mind you splitting it up into pt1+2 for these larger coloring tuts, just so it doesnt seemed rushed as much.

The brush I'm using can easily be recreated in Photoshop and Sketchbook Pro. I think Open Canvas can do it too, as well as Painter. It's a conventional solid circular brush that many digital painters use.

As for the Dartboard palette I'm using, it's pretty much like any other colour palette, although it auto-calibrates to whatever colour I sample. You still have to hunt for whatever colour you want to use. (see the previous episode - Picking Colours).

Thank you very much! I wonder if Photoshop CS2 have this transisitonal brush as well? It does make painting more organic!

Other Dynamics: ON (Opacity Control - Pen Pressure, Flow Control - OFF)
