To get the brush on the right, I started with a solid photoshop default brush, checked other dynamics and pen pressure. I typically have the flow at 100% and I mess with the opacity depending on what I’m doing.

The brush on the left I did everything I did with the brush on the right, except I also checked scattering. You can play with the scatterbrush to find a “scatter” that you like. I find it extremely helpful with laying down colours quickly for easy blending. Hope that was a good enough explanation, but let me know if you really were looking for a better one. I can’t show anyone how to paint, but at least for me, having the right brushes certainly does make it easier.

Thanks cypherx for your reply and the examples of the brushes

i feel if one uses lil bit of scattering in normal brushes ( like ur example on the right) it gives more natural look…

i’m interested in the result of the brush you have shown on the left…it would be nice if you can post some example image(s) where you have used that brush.

warm regards,
saiko

[cypherx]

saiko, pretty much all of my drawings use those brushes. Sometimes I’ll only use the hard brush though, without the scatterbrush

For my speedpaints I use resolutions around 800x600
For detailed images I go for 5000x4000 ore something.

Hello , I have simple question to You: for high image res. use 5000x4000 in what dens. 300 PPI or higher, 8Bit // 16Bit for color? And what a computer You are using ?

Hello , I have simple question to You: for high image res. use 5000x4000 in what dens. 300 PPI or higher, 8Bit // 16Bit for color? And what a computer You are using ?

well, 5000x4000 pixels is a constant size, doesn’t matter if you’re working at 72dpi, 300dpi, or even more (or less)…
Just try this: create a new file in photoshop, 800x600@10dpi. another one 800x600@300dpi; there’s no difference except the relative size for print.
For the last two questions, I’ll just let Goro explain it, as he surely knows it better than anyone else (personally, i’d like to add that you got a lot more color depth in 16 bits pictures, only your eye may not be able to make the difference between every color shade (65536 levels for each color channel instead of 256 for 8 bit pics). So, speaking for myself, 8bit is enough for sketching, even for illustrations).

Hey, Im dunno if anyone is intrested, but I did this one today in painter…
And I had “by accident” started to record the screen, and forced myself to do
alittle better cause of that

Thanks for all the help, guys! This is a truly great thread. Seeing how other artists work never gets old.

I was thinking about one of the problems with Photoshop’s current brush engine–you can’t invert pressure sensitivity so that, for instance, lighter pressure makes the brush larger. This would be useful for some things. Imagine lightly sketching in outlines and/or details, then pressing harder to make the brush larger and fainter. Unfortunately, there’s currently no way to pull this off. However, you can set “color jitter” and “size jitter” to pen pressure and then use white as your foreground color and black as your background color. This gives approximately the same effect, although the brush is opaque the whole way through.

[Wysocki]

OK. Thanks for help ;D

Hey guys, I have released a tutorial a week ago and I would like to share it with you guys if that’s okay. It’s about Sketching with Photoshop 7.0 (Well, that’s what I used.)

It’s my first tutorial, and I hope it turns out well to you guys. It’s a step by step guide/walkthrough into basically I just mentioned

http://s11.invisionfree.com/Snapester/index.php?showtopic=92

Good luck and enjoy!

[ysvry]

great tuts goro, its good to see how other ppl work, much easier then reading about it, maybe there should be a thread with only screencap movies on how to do things.

[Dile]

yeah, thats a VERY nice idea! a thread with only screen captures!

[architectus]

Here you go, two threads here at cg talk with video tutorials for painting, working on one now for sketching

Hi everyone!
I thought to start a thread where people can show there sketching technique.
Everyone can post tutorials and brushes and stuff in this thread.
Since I was asked several times to do some tutorials (still don’t feel like I have enough experience for that…) I thought I should start this thread.

I answered some questions in some sketchgroup topics but they get lost.
Nobody will search for the old threads to get some information. So I thought this
could be good as a sticky thread so everyone can share there knowledge at any time.

Thnx Roberto for the sticky feature!

So here are some of my files.

Goro’s Brushes (compatible with Photoshop CS) 2.8MB UPDATED 11.09.2005!
(these are not only my custom brushes. many brushes are collected from other artists)
