# I don't really get all this graphicy stuff..

I need to understand all this vector stuff. Having to use freehand because I have a friging mac, and gimp doesn't recieve pressure info from the tablet in X11, and photoshop gets retarded if you use anything other that wacom (I have an Aiptek thing and I have to say - it is surprisingly not shit).

# vector stuff?
try illustrator, that way you don't have to do anything freehand really, you can't really make terrible mistakes cause everything's fixable. I have the shittiest hand eye coordination ever, that's why I make vectors instead of doing lots of tattyshopping! It takes forever for me to get it right, but in the end it's nice :)

# illustrator you say....
I bet it has the same problems as I have for with the old tattyshop - I get no events from the tablet - just the start and stop point... so I can draw curves - but I get lines as a result... poopo

# How do you color in your
biromash pictures?

#
I use photoshop
Put the drawing on the bottom layer
Create a layer above it, set it to 'multiply' then paint by hand.

# Welcome you are.
I also use the burn and dodge brush for some shade & highlight.

# Multiply?
What does that mean?
(I helped save b3ta! gaijintendo Regular Member, Sat 8 Oct 2005, 21:16, archived)
# When you make a new layer
make the mode "multiply" instead of "normal."
(Hairy Midget, Sat 8 Oct 2005, 21:18, archived)
# It's a layer setting
that adds the contents of the layer to whatever's on layers below it, so if you paint in blue on a multiply layer and the layer below has yellow on, you'll get green.

Or in my case, it allows me to paint over my cross hatching black lines without obliterating them because the colour is added to the black on the layer below.

Try it, it's groovy.

# I always wondered if there was an easy way
to color over cross-hatching like that. That will also help when coloring in drawings I make in flash.
