you need a 1 pixel pencilin photoshop - then its a lot easier. Also turn off antialiasing for everything - selections, fills, everything. That might be why you don't like it. Its actually great for pixel stuff - or i think so anyway :)

antialiasing!I didn't even think of that.
that'd make things much simpler.
edit: having looked at your profile, I note that you definitely know what you're on about. found your websites via blogjam a while back. citycreator's what got me going in this direction. so, er, thanks... I guess. ;)

it really does.no one ever seems to mention it either - although i did! I mentioned it in my nice tutorial. but Its not online, so its... no use to you.
edit - ah - thats nice - thank you. I would offer help, but to be honest i don't think you need it. Best advice i can ever give really is look at other people's stuff - enlarge it so you can see how they did it and try and do the same. Especially for shading. I'm still not great at proper shading - its an art in itself.

tell me about ithave just now noticed that I have two different light sources depending on whether you look at my shadows or my wall colours... *sigh*
I think once you've got the basics it's mostly a question of copying when you get stuck. Same as so much in life.

yeah - that happens to me tooyou could draw a lightbulb on a layer and keep it in one corner while you work to remind you. Some people recommend that.
This forum is good for pixel stuff: www.pixeljoint.com/forum/
its more for game graphics than isometric stuff (sometimes they can be a bit mean to the iso newbies) but its worth a quick look if you have some time.
