TUTORIAL-"PAINTING WITH THE FINGERS"

#10

this is a GREAT tutorial! The greatest things are always very simple at the foundations :slight_smile: I’ve been itching to try it out all day at work, but now that I’m home and at my computer, I think I’ve hit a snag. This may sound like a very stupid question, but erm… I adjusted the brush part of the brush, to your specifications. But (in Photoshop 7), how do you get the smudge “version” of the brush, to adjust the way you have shown? I don’t seem to be able to turn on scattering or smoothing, in “smudge” mode they are greyed out, though they work fine in normal “brush” mode.

Maybe I’m just over-tired and missing something very obvious? :frowning:

+thanks Rebeccak, it is a pleasure…your anatomy lessons are brilliant

+jmBoekestein, you know…the technique is really simple and easy, the complex thing is what you do with it :slight_smile:

+Alexandrite… Damn! I do not remember if that version (PHOTOSHOP 7) has the options.:sad:

Ahhh okay, thanks. I thought it might be a Photoshop CS thing. I’ll have to go finally look for the demo heheh… :slight_smile:

#13

Thank you for doing this, I love it as a brush too…just great! :applause:

#14

Unless I knew this tutorial for quite a time (as I check your website on updates, quite often :twisted: ), it looks like such a natural way to do this… I still really need to give it a good try, but in every case it’s cool to see the ways you - the master :bounce: - does do it! :slight_smile: That awesome photoreal look of your images is great…!

I can’t wait for the 2D-lighting-techniques lessons next year on Industial Design! :wink: :buttrock:

Good luck with your stuff & again: thanks allot! :applause:

Greetz,

new to painting with photoshop, just got a wacom graphire 3, ive only used photoshop in my 3d modeling touch-ups, i can draw but no scanner, the wacom im steadily learning how to control all the functions, ive never used brushes to actually paint, i was wondering what you mean by finger? is there a certain brush called finger? of is it a custom brush? or am i way off, im trying your method but im lost by the word finger :slight_smile: any help would be nice, or else my wacom would be a waste of money. thx

#23

I call it “painting with fingers” because we used mainly the smudge tool.If you use photoshop you must know smudge tool ! Its icon is a finger, you know :slight_smile:

#24

I followed your tutorial and created that brush. It works great. I now realized that shape dynamics can be useful after all to create things such as foliage.

Thanks!:thumbsup:

Bee sure to post as many tutorials as possible.:buttrock:
