FAQ: Q: Do you think you could briefly explain how the pen tool works? A: Pen tool in photoshop gives is very good for laying block / solid colors before you being painting them. It can also give you the effect like the ones you see in Anime. There are several options for the Pen tool. Click and hold the pen icon in the toolbar and select Freeform Pen tool (your default Pen tool won't work XD) and draw whatever solid shape you want. However, this shape that you just drew, cannot be painted on with the brush tool. What you must to do to paint on it, is to create a new blank layer under this shape. Then you select the shape you drew with the pen and you press Ctrl E to merge the shape and the blank layer. Now you can paint on it
Hi~ so some tips and ideas for y'all to explore and experiment with. Mentioned tips on how to use the overlay layer to it's maximum potential (Don't overuse it though) Had to sort of design a guide on a whim. Don't kill me for the ungryness |D
tutorial as promised for my seal momo-chan (:3____)3 (in trade for her seal babies (_____)3 ) and (in trade for her beef).
I DO NOT welcome critique on this tutorial. I only intended to explain some areas of coloring I feel that people have not mentioned or stressed the importance of. If you feel like I missed out some vital areas on shading hair, well here's news for you 8>
