@architectus777 Just got the pear tutorial highly recommended! And got these brushes with it, excellent. Was brilliant to find this video on how to user them. One question, the opacity values you mention. In another video you said one value for one wacom board and another for a bamboo board. It that the same for each time you quote a opacity value? The Bamboo is usually set higher than what you set yours too?

@shinymetalvids I set my Cintiq to 100 percent, but bamboo between 60-80.

The leg was good, you made it look very simple. The chest wasn't very good. The clouds were alright.

I have a question, for some reason, when I set the pen pressure for the brush, it stays the same? I couldn't get any opacity on the ends of the brush. Please help! Thank you!

@architectus777 Ok thank you :)

@architectus777 I know it's a bad program but that's as good as it gets for free.

@ooOSANEOoo I was going to do a tutorial using Gimp, but I hated the way it painted and felt so much, I didn't. I no longer recommend that crap program to people.

@lycheesack If you don't have money for Photoshop then I would recommend Gimp, It's free and barely differs from Photoshop, although you may find the interface quite off putting. 

[ooOSANEOoo]

@DarkBoxeR He uses a bigger brush size to make his maximum pen pressure limit better rather than just using a normal sized brush and keep changing sizes.

Unfortunately I dont have system requirements for a premium photo editor, I will take the tips of hot and cool to MS Paint, I'm not sure if you have any tips how I should approach blending in MS paint? Thanks for the video!

Can you write the keyboard shortcut to how you eyedrop the colors? English is not my first language, so I didn't understand very well certain parts of this tutorial :/
