Xia this is TRULY awesome! I really love this one... I would like to ask you... do you use soft flat brushes?

Thanks man... you make it look so easy but when I open my canvas and grab the pen I just lock! I think practice is the only salvation right!?

Hope to see more of these...

Luca> Thank brother, ...um. The very soul purpose of flat brushes is to make sharp edge. The purpose of soft brush is to blend edges. So there is no need for soft flat brush.

Of course looks good again.

I tried the slow motion feature,
it works but the sounds shuts off
and it seems like like there slowing
down the frame rate, so it becomes
a bit shocky.

Knuckle> Thanks for the feedback bro! I see, I guess it's probably hard for the audio to slow down too, considering streaming and all. Cool! It works. :)
