yes im using tablet.
For the fanart artwork, the only setting im using at that time are :
Shape Dynamics -> Size jitter -> Pen Pressure

On my latest artwork Ive try to add Angle to tilt and Roundess jitter to pen pressure .. Maybe because of lack of angle and round variability the fire seems to be very wierd.

Any tips to set up the brush? Im using intuos 3..

there is some tutorial on net may help you.

Your fire looks ok, but the left side not so good, try to use diff brush with diff opacity.

thanks.. already got some from deviantart. just want to know if some1 here got their own best settings.


tq... will try to improve on next artwork hopefully.


Below are C.C from code gease anime, in kimono. not complete yet.. I need to search for "flower" brush that can fit onto the kimono. any1 hav a good source of this type of brush?

alternatively, u might not need a flower brush for the effect u want.

this is a drawing i did about a two years ago. it's based on a lineart, then painted over on several layers. one of the layer is a batik pattern i downloaded off the net. i cant remember exactly, but using a shade pattern, i "wrap" the batik pattern over the curvature of the fabric. it's much easier and more realistic than to "paint" the patterns over it.

i cant remember exactly how i did it as it was quite a long time ago. if i have the time i'll dig it up. but u can just google pattern wrapping or mapping images in photoshop.

thanks for the tips. but kimono only have patterns on certain parts of it so wrapping the texture allover the cloth will not make it a kimono. I try researching more on this later today when i got free time.

nice artwork there azarimy. I've go through ur blog and really like ur "streetfighter" in malaysia classroom artwork. cant really remember what the title is.

the pattern is totally up to u. it doesnt have to be full. just find whatever pattern u like or paint one urself. the pattern should be painted flat, like batik on a stretched canvas.

using shade map, u will "wrap" the pattern around the fabric. it doesnt really wrap in 3D like in those 3D softwares. hence why i use the inverted commas. u can find the tutorials on the web.

inverted commas, wrapping and mapping~ hmm.. its very new to me.. really excited to learn this. tq so much~ I'll post the result later tonight (after class).

nice job bro....im so jealous...

why not try to draw something?

who know you got talent in you.

does anyone here tried corel painter X?

yup, tried it.
i still prefer painter 9.
painter xi is release early next year. now testing beta version.

Uuuhh aaahhh.....

Painter is a good software.. but I think I prefer photoshop because I start doing CG with it. Maybe real painter/watercolor etc artist will benefit from it. I has a realbristle feature which simulate the brush textures, plus it will follow our pen tilt nicely far better than photoshop. I really like the rotate canvas feature, which allow us to rotate the canvas as same as we rotate paper in traditional on paper drawings. Yes we can do it in photoshop but I think we will lose some quality as doing a rotate in photoshop are as same as applying transformation (like filter, brightness etc).

animous,

the texture wrapping technique is called "displacement effect". google for tutorials. here's one that might be useful to u. should be self explanatory.

tutorial source

good, well come to the cg comunitty.
i do love photoshop too.
but it is ram grabber compare painter.

Due to somehow sloww internet connection.. the example picture all loaded halfway.. very frustrated. Also cause my search for flower pattern brush end up failure. I'll try again later. Tq for pointing out the links~


Tq. But even the latest Painter X does not support Dual Core processor yet, so I guess Photoshop is much faster than Painter. I can do my art in PS, open up to 25 tabs of webpage in firefox, Antivirus (Avira) scan, plus mp3 and apache webserver. still ok exept when painting the mp3 will somehow stuck2 a bit. haha.

becoz fedup with internet connection, I halted the kimono patterns work and try planning up the background for her.

greetings guys. i like to do impersonation of mag cover. in my office, the bday boy/girl will get their pic imposed in a magazine cover by me and printed in a nice glossy paper to be put up on our "hall of fame". i'm learning to use photoshop cs3 mostly by trial and error, so most of my work involve basic function and only for personal satisfaction.

here's some of my work

something I did recently

very nice work.
creative + solid concept
