i dont know why i cant use custom brushes. whenever i use the other dynamics, it overlaps. it looks translucent but my opacity is 100. it doesn't blend. help. :(

[daarken]

@bellabanda08 Hmm, what other options do you have turned on? Do you have wet edges turned on? Sometimes that can make your brush look translucent.

dude ur vid stuck at 4:53 , dunno why

[daarken]

@TDuD3 Hmm, I dunno. I just watched it and it worked fine for me.

any idea of wwhy my pressure sensitivity doesnt work?

[daarken]

Could be that you don't have it turned on under the brush controls. Go to Window - Brushes. Turn on Other Dynamics and make sure Opacity Jitter is set to Pen Pressure.

If that doesn't work, try updating your tablet drivers.
