One more tip, have the shadows on one layer so that they don't accidentally overlap and don't set them to normal or multiply. Use color burn or overlay if possible. And the shadow from the big bunch of hair on her forehead should preferably only be cast to the right and not the left, as your light source is on the left Smile Apart from that, good advancement! (and she has a bit too much hair on top, maybe squish that also?

Generally it's a good approach to have some circles as skull first, so that you have the right proportions from start Smile

hard brush size 4
shape dynamics on
smoothness on
click on shape dynamics - change minimum diameter to somewhere between 40 and 50% mine is on 42%

everything else is at 0%

when you commit the line to be drawn with the tools make sure simulate pressure is selected.

everything else is about being zoomed in far enough to make sure you create the line where you want it. Otherwise not even that is critical, the wonders of photoshop tools Very Happy

Thanks for the tips. Now I'm a little confused as never using PS. I can see your first sketch is free hand right? But the second sketch are you using the pen tool and using point to point then commiting the line with simulate pen pressure.

I bought myself a cheap Wacom bamboo for £35.. I also want to try and encourage my 5 year old son to draw and write so i hope it's not wasted.

Right so i followed a tutorial on an easy anime girl, now remember i have zero artistic skill with a pencil, as i previously mentioned even my stick men are an embarrassment.

For my first attempt i'm quite happy with it. I have big problems with the eyes and i know it's a bit of a mess and not clean like you guys work here, but what the hell i had much enjoyment Very Happy

All Wacom no mouse:



Help... how do i produce a nice shading brush just like a real 2B pencil?

No ive never had to use special brushes tbh Very Happy but I thought those are ones I would take a look at if I was going to, and seeing as they are like what $5 tops £2.50 or so then I will probably try them sometime soon. I bet there are youtube vids showing how to make a 2b pencil effect for use.

I always wing it and go by feel and trial and error.. But I bet we can find some good brushes like that for free somewhere Smile

I wanted to recreate a smiley face I saw in a certain picture. I thought - "That's gonna fun!"


upload image online

Phew! After two hours of a real chore.

Required plenty of fucking around with shapes and paths. I learned a lot, though; so the time spent on this didn't go to waste. Smile

Damn, you're a real photoshop pro! Surprised

EDIT: How did you cut that second circle in half that quickly?

Photoshop:
You want to cut something in half? Press CTRL+R to enable rulers. Now go onto the object to be split, press CTRL+T for transformation, and during transformation mode, click and hold on the ruler and pull in a help line which should snap onto the middle of your object. Press ESC to leave transformation mode. Now select your tool of choice, f.e. masking and your selection should auto snap to the help line Smile
