Description Hello!!! Long time no tutorial! >w< I found little time and decided to put this together for you because I don't want my DA to die, while I'm working on other stuff.

I had promised I was going to make this! :'D And except my promise- one more thing made me do it. That people think of tablets as some...'magic wands' You have a tablet and you're awesome! -_-lll That's not true kids!!! What matters is SKILLS!!! And KNOWLEDGE! So what if I personally have and use a tablet?! I did this here with a mouse! So I know what I'm talking about. >:/
Of course tablets are just- GREAT! That's why I married mine...>.> but they don't do miracles. They just make your life easier and it's a little less time-consuming to draw. That is IF!!! you know how to use it and your program right.

Sorry for the little rant, but I'm a little tired of this.
People keep using mouses as an excuse for their lack of skills. 'Oh, I'm so innocent, I don't have a tablet, I use a mouse, that's why my art is crappy!' Ah, what a heart-breaking drama!!! XD
Stop lying people and get serious with your art!!! It's your own fault. If you really care- you're gonna make it. Even with a mouse. I've seen mouse users drawing so much better than me- that I have a tablet! ;w; Which I think is awesome and I really respect those people.

Errr....now what else I could say- I didn't spellcheck the text, so it probably has some typos, sorry about that! I hope you can understand though. I didn't have time to draw something specially for the tutorial, so I used this old chibi me, because it was already linearted and ready to use! :'D Yay! (Some might remember it from my latest 'sketch dump' XD )

Enough bla-bla! I should get going~ See you later!

Oh no D:
Well, that tutorial is really old, using PS CS3 so it's very much possible that things have changed now.

xD i love your descriptions i use a mouse cuz i can't afford a tablet and i practically kill my hand with every drawing i color in
although the first direction is confusing... what do you mean, left button, stroke path, delete path? are the keys on the keyboard??

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

psyAlera In reply to Espliego [2012-03-12 22:28:11 +0000 UTC]

^^

No, I mean on the mouse. My mistake though, because it should have been right button, I haven't noticed this till now. O.o So you just click your right mouse button over your canvas while being on the path tool and follow the next steps.

omg mouse coloring... I used it when I was younger but now I have a A5 Bamboo tablet.
By the way, I've never used the pen tool for shading > must try.

psyAlera In reply to x3uu [2011-05-30 19:43:28 +0000 UTC]

Ah, Tablets are really a great help!!!

Well I discovered that method once when my tablet was broken and I had no other choice, but to play around, then suddenly decided to try this and it worked! :'D

Really? did you enjoy the country?

I have a Bulgarian friend so sometimes I heard her speaking Bulgarian.

Aw, well yes! It was very nice and pretty! The architecture is so cool with all those huge buildings all around and sculptures and~ *o* Very impressing!!!

Ah, that's cool then! :'D

x3uu In reply to psyAlera [2011-05-30 20:44:38 +0000 UTC]

that's great you enjoyed your trip. Belgium is a small country so people don't care about it (a Korean girl even asked me if Belgium was a part of France xD).

psyAlera In reply to x3uu [2011-05-30 20:50:55 +0000 UTC]

Wow, people care even less about Bulgaria even though it's a bit bigger. I've had some asking me if it's in the desert. XD

Belgium at least is better known in Europe because of the EU and stuff like that.

Hah, I'm sorry for annoying you ^^
I bet I was one of those people who always mucked about not having a tablet.
[I got one now though. lol]

And I tried to do hair in like 50 different ways, but none of them really worked for me.. maybe I'll find a technique anytime in the far far future
