duckmstr94 [2012-07-28 23:23:04 +0000 UTC]

When I attempt this using my tablet, I don't get the option to have it fade out like you do. So my ends look extremely blunt, which makes the overall image look terrible. I tried to set the pen pressure the same way as you did, but I don't have the Other Dynamic option to use. What do I do?

No, if you don't have a tablet the pen pressure will not work I've tried it with & without a tablet

Does gimp allow pen pressure? I'm sure someone's asked this already but I'm too lazy to look >.> lol. Anyhoo, absolutely love this tutorial regardless.

auredd In reply to DaHamLover1 [2011-12-17 23:26:51 +0000 UTC]

Photoshop CS4, but it should work with any Photoshop program - or any editing program at all, as long as it allows pen pressure settings!

This wonderful tutorial has been used to make this image: [link]

I'm not as good at it, so I blended the final product of the steps, which made it look not as bad. (It looked like a bunch of sticks without blending it. D

Credit has been given to you as the wonderful helper to this picture.
