The biggest problem with tracing is that it leaves little room for interpretation. You can't stylise or elongate figures, something even realists might want to do for creative reasons.

For instance ...

I think I remember the post you are talking about, it was on the Cennini forum:

Maybe you're spending too much time noodling/rendering your work. That's one problem I used to suffer from, and it made me very slow.

You should try doing some speedpaints, it's very liberating and ...

The brush editor breaks up workflow, sure keep it but can we have the option of just using sliders like before? When you're constantly tweaking on the fly it's much much quicker.

Oh dear, that brush editor is an unmitigated disaster, I mean how slow is that????

Bring back the brush palette, you need to be able to tweak on the fly, not stop and start to make little changes t ...

Thanks for your helpful reply as usual Jin. In the end I gave up and reinstalled Painter Classic, it's a shame that I have to put up with a reduced feature set to get usable watercolour brushes but th ...

Hehe, I did say you didn't need my advice Smile

Rant is over, sorry to those who fell asleep.

hehe, going seriously off topic here (did someone say satin?) Smile

A couple of quick points:

I don't think editorial is that hard a market to break into, it's just whether one has a suitable style ...

Socar, not wishing to pick a fight with you - at all actually - but I don't think your facts are necessarily right.

Fantasy perhaps is the most obvious market to those that frequent places like Sij ...

What about my other points? Since I gave quite detailed feedback it would be nice to have a response...

In case it wasn't obvious - if you go the tool editor (stroke down on the toolbox icon) if you pick any of the tools there and click on "copy to custom" you can adjust the proporties of any brush an ...

I liked it very much Smile

Main gripe, and a serious one: multi-monitor support in Win2000 is poor, with my second monitor on, the cursor and the stroke do not appear in the same place!!! The stroke i ...

$30 for an AliaslWavefront product? Hahahaha.

Am downloading it now and will report back.

Hi Jin, good tip and I'll try it.

I believe you are beta testing Painter 8, I realise you are probably under an NDA but do you think Corel might ever reintroduce the older watercolour brushes along ...

Hehe, much better Smile

Only crit would be to have a brighter highlight going down the very edge of her back, and also the thing where her sleeve meets her arm looks a bit odd.

Hey thanks for that Pat, the brush certainly is quite fast. What I miss most from the simple Painter 6 brush is the pooling at the edges of the stroke, I might fiddle with your brush and see if I can ...

OK - without the colour Smile

The crucial thing is that the main form of the dress has a large highlight to suggest that it's made of a reflective material like satin. For the dappled light I would su ...

This is a very quick overpaint but I hope it helps you Smile

Try to think of the form as a whole, the girl is essentially a cylinder, so I painted her as one and worried about the details of the folds ...

It seems to me after some fairly extensive experimentation that Painter 7's new watercolour brushes actually look nothing like watercolour, whatever you try and do. Coupled with the fact that the brus ...

F5 - hope it works on a Mac, but that's the shortcut on PC anyway.

I've not read that particular book, but knowing what the "Wow" books are like it will be a combination of filters and/or selection tricks.

I had a quick go at replicating it, just by painting on a ...

also, frog, your fucking mother is boring. thanks the for the color though!

She is actually, painfully dull. Do you know her?

For the last time:

THIS IS BORING

Amusing how going "under the hood" on a Mac is a good thing, but on a PC it's geeky...

That isn't meant to provoke you Bearsclover, it just illustrates that everyone gets very partisan on this issu ...

Fair enough, that's one way to do it Smile

I find it's easier to just have the sketch on a "multiply" layer, does pretty much the same thing (makes the white parts invisible) without all the other ste ...

This is a subject I've been giving quite a lot of thought to myself recently, it would seriously interesting to get people's views on this.

I've been using the tablet for several years, and do pret ...

The brush master diameter can be changed with the "[" and "]" keys.

Gaussian blur can never really emulate camera optics - they're just too different. The problem is that optical out-of-focus isn't just blur, things get rounded out and distorted as well as going fuzzy ...

There isn't one in 7, since there is no airbrush tool anymore - instead many tools have an airbrush option instead. In some ways it's a pain, in others it's good, the main benefit is that now you can ...

When I wrote a tutorial for 3dfestival about photorealistic painting I basically wrote about the things which I though were important, ie general principles rather than specifics such as "to draw x ob ...
