I still can't get OC figured out. I can draw with it, and ink, but shading in that program is beyond me.

Nice art. =)

The only way I can describe it is that it behaves like paint in real life. Whatever color you have on one layer, anything you add over it on that same layer will automatically be pulled and blended into every stroke with a different color thereafter by the program.

I don't know if watching an event file might help? http://www.mediafire.com/?0lmzzmagepz

And thank ya! :D

It definitely threw a learning curve at me when I first used it. I wasn't expecting the blending feature of the program. If you're able to pull the watercolor tool in downward strokes quickly, then that's all you really need to be able to do. Whatever colors you put on top will blend into the one below it on that same layer.

^^ and thank you! <3

All of them look great. I should look into a tablet. I never did well with them the first time I used them in PS class, but I probably should have gave it a little more of a try. Hope the price has gone down from what it was back then... o.o

looks like a hell of a fun one

Sure was ^__^

That last image is absolutely freakin' gorgeous.

I've always been amazed by people who can do digital media of any kind. I guess it's because I could never figure it out. XD

Thank you! I like it the most also.
A beginning step to working your way to digital media is to start with a pencil and paper, and practice "pressure sensitivity" exercises first. Just take your pencil (angling it so you're using the side of the lead, not as if to write with the point) and lightly make one motion strokes away from yourself, gradually pressing harder until you're able to create a smooth transition from light to dark. It's like training yourself to know just how much harder you have to press to darken something. Or if you have a tablet, you could go right to digital canvas and do the same exercises. It all depends on your comfort level.

Maybe watching an event file from open canvas might help? If you have the freeware version, you can download and open the file to watch it replay from beginning to end. http://www.mediafire.com/?0lmzzmagepz

Wow. Thank-you very much for the advice. :D

Maybe digital media isn't beyond my grasp. :3

I really like the one you did of yourself ^^

Thank you :D

Very neat! Digital stuff is incredible. But I doubt if I'll have the money to get a tablet for a while. Anyways, I really love this picture. It's really good.
