it looks like its all done on one layer. Which is pretty limiting. You should alter the opacity and fill of your brushes, they are too noticeable so that the blends aren't too subtle. Try working from 40 opacity to 7 fill. Its my default setting and from there i just alter it when ever I need to.

Here is a Nice painting TutorialReally? What did you use to blend the layers? Because i couldn't notice it. Also you would really want to lower the opacity of your brushes alittle more.

How do you change these kinds of settings on your brushes? I only see options for opacity. (It could also be my photoshop version..)

It should be near the upper right, closer to the center. You Should see brush shape, Blend mode (default being normal) Opacity and Fill.

I see all of the above except Fill, which means its probably my photoshop version. (Unless Fill is.. size?)
What is fill exactly, then?
PostPosted: Mon Oct 22, 2007 7:00 pm


I may be wrong because I forgot the exact definition of fill. But from my understanding fill in relation to brushes has to do with how the paint flows. Compare it to leaving a fountain pen on paper, fill determines how strong the spread is.
Btw what version of Photoshop are you using?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0.

It doesn't have a pen tool either which bothers the CRAP out of me.

ouch. I have heard of a few people doing some cool things with elements, however your should upgrade and search for one of the many copies floating around the Internet. Or if your a rich kid who has money to toss around then spend $600 and get CS3.
I never use the pen tool...infact I hate the pen tool!

Sorry, not quite the rich kid. D:
I've been thinking of getting a less expensive version for christmas maybe, but I don't know. I'll have to do more research P:
Maybe I'll just tough it out with elements and get illustrator or something.

I'd like to help you tough it out with Elements but unfortunatly I'm not too familiar with it. However just keep in mind you can still bust out great stuff. The most important thing is just to keep at it. Illustrator is a vector based program which works totally different than photoshop. I'm not as knowledgeable with using illustrator as i am with photoshop. Sorry again.

Rose: We have the same program XD

I see. biggrin
I agree, its still possible to come out with great stuff in elements, and I'll probably just still with that. I'm working on something in photoshop now thats a bit different(better) than things I've done in the past, so I'll post that once I've finally finished.

And yeah, I know Illustrator is vector-based and completely different from photoshop. But thats not really a bad thing, eh? smile I've used Illustrator quit a bit in the past, because we have it at our school. You can do some pretty interesting stuff with it.
