Asked for help
Here is my second attempt at the mushrooms. I am still experimenting with the pencil tool in Photoshop. I figured out that when using opacity with pressure sensitivity, ultimately the value will build up to but not exceed the selected swatch. I find I have much less coordination on the slippery angled surface of the graphics tablet than I do on paper. I tend to hold more tension in my hand and shoulder in order to control the slipping of the stylus. Meanwhile, the side of my hand sticks to the surface, so that if I use it as support, I can only draw from my wrist. Has anyone working with digital managed to overcome this? What is the weird glove that Stan wears?
@moonidraws
I use a drawing glove to let my hand slide across the tablet screen, otherwise it sticks and it’s hard to draw with my arm. Wacom tablets are a bit less sticky for me though, so on them I don’t really need a glove as much. I’ve also heard there are textured screen protectors for tablets that simulate the texture of paper.
