aisumomo, thats cool. do you use a mouse or graphic tablet?

its part of the ink effects in painter 9.5. it's a scratchy ink brush, which is then topped of with manually scratching the inks with the knife tool to enhance the... urm... scratchiness.
naah not yet. i'm coming back to msia for christmas. i'll probably shop in lowyat or something.

hmmm... i'm not sure how to say this without actually showing u how. certain things are better explained by example rather than description .

lets start with:

painter is subtly different from photoshop in terms of brushes. basically, what painter does is to imitate natural media as close as possible. this includes how each bristle behaves, the paint mixture and texture, how the paint interacts with the paper, and the paper itself. meaning, u can control the moisture absorption of the paper to produce different results. but i never get to use that.

if u're more of a photoshop user, u tend to immediately adopt photoshop style in painter. nothing wrong with that, but it might be why u cant grasp that natural feel to it. there's no real way to do this, other than to practice, familiarize, and practice again. it took me about 6 months to complete my transition to painter.

what i'm trying to say is, photoshop and painter can both achieve the exact same result. but the method of achieving can be very different. there are brushes in PS that could easily imitate acrylic on knife effects. painter on the other hand attempts to mathematically recreate the acrylic on knife effects. u may need to manually mix the colours gradually in PS, but painter will mix the colours just as the it would mix in the real world.

susah gila nak explain without demo
