Q: I would like to know which graphic tablet would do for me as a begginer the wacom intuos3 or the genuis mousepen graphic tablet? cause i want some thing that would do a good job good for me.
A: Thank you for your kind words, I am flatter. Tablet? If you are serious about doing art and such, I would recommend for serious beginner Wacom intuos3. It's worth. I am using intuos 2 & 3 and still love it. Keep on drawing and do your best.
If you are on the budget then go for Genius mouse pen, I heard that they are also great.
Q: Hey I was wondering what program and what brush settings you were using when you were drawing.
A: It usually OK to do LOW opacity (30-50) when you doing rough or preliminary. But then I recommend 75% - 100% for your mid way to final. Define soft edge and hard edge (I should make a vid about that.). Anyway, clean solid color is the way to go when finishing up. It will keep your image clean, fresh hues and increase readability. If you use anything less than 80%-90% when paint over and over it could make your image looks muddy and washed out.
**Always make sure that your wacom pen has opacity sensitivity "ON" It should be able to taper out and fade out when you draw soft, just like pencil or graphite or any traditional medium.
*** But really YOU HAVE TO FOCUS on the OVER ALL values and place them in the RIGHT PLACE. NO matter how many fancy layers you have, they won't do you magic if you DON'T UNDERSTAND BASIC VALUEs. SIMPLIFY when try to finish up, don't over do values in the certain area. Put light in the light, put dark in the dark. And make clean clear area of light and dark don't muddle them up. Craig Mullins said it best here, ""Decide what is in light and what is in shadow and don’t mix them up. Think like a comic artist. Two values, but if they are well thought out and designed and drawn they can look totally real. Think like that, but instead of making the light white and the shadow black, make the light a 7 and the shadow a 3. Then go ahead and use 5-10 in the light and 1-3 in the shadow to pull out sub forms. DO NOT use 1-5 in any part of the light, or use 5-10 in any areas of the dark. Keep you edges a little softer in the shadows, a little sharper in the light, you are done. (0 is black, 10 is white) Deciding what is in shadow and light for a particular object is pretty hard in words. I will leave that up to you and that is 99 percent of the struggle." and "Hierarchal significance for any color: 1. Value 2. Saturation 3. Hue" -Craig Mullins
Q: Did you tweak the pressure settings for the tablet pen?
And what is your setup for the layers (multiply, add....)?
Any details are appreciated.
A: I will show you on this video. You can set up your pen pressure in Wacom first (Shown in this video) then set up another specific brush in Photoshop (Brush tutorials)
