Good work brother! I'm always asking... how do you pick the right colors?

Thanks
pokepetter said…
Thanks, Xia. This is a good tut.

Luca > If it looks right it is right. Use the HSB sliders if you don't already. You can always change the colors later.
pokepetter said…
you can also color using the endless options under "Image" in Photoshop or by using gradient maps or other adjustment layers. Yeah and layer blending modes too. Experiment.

Halo, im a beginner with painting and so :) Your work and videos give me motivation to continue.

Though I have a question , I see often the flat"\ " brush in your videos when painting landscapes.

Where do you get it or how you make it?

Thank you
Luca Cauchi said…
RedBuzzard> Welcome here first of all! If you watch or read his previous information, he always explains that... anyways I will tell you, it's very easy. Just get the normal default round brush, go to the brushes tab (top right hand of the monitor), Click on the Brush Tip Shape, then Squeeze one of the two dots that are on that small white circle (it looks like an aim of a shooting game!) Then you can set how flat you want your brush. Also you can rotate the direction of the flat brush.
Nothing of complicated... feel free to re-ask if you don't manage to make it!

Peace!
