The core explanation is solid, but you don't explain the tools at all. This left me confused and having to faff around trying to figure out what you were doing. If you're going to introduce a mixer brush, or use a selection tool, as a core part of the lesson, it would be great to ensure everyone is on the same page. As a newbie to Photoshop, it took me a while to work out what I had to do to find the mixer brush, and then change the settings to get it to not just be a paint brush.

Just wanted to add a note for anyone else that might be having pen pressure issues with photoshop. If you find your brush is lagging (stopping following your pen every few seconds) then you can turn off Windows Ink. I had to do this inside my Huion driver. However, this disables pen pressure. To fix this go into your photoshop folder in app data. It will be C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2025\Adobe Photoshop 2025 Settings and add in a new file called PSUserConfig.txt. Inside that file add the following: # Use WinTab UseSystemStylus 0 This will restore pen pressure and make your tablet work properly with the brushes from this course.
