My hand naturally favors upwards-rising lines (I am right-handed) and rotating the canvas until the line in question is at the correct angle for ergonomic drawing is essential. I also need to zoom in and out a lot, so I can work the detail better or visualize the strokes I have laid down.<br /><br />Ron,<br /><br />I usually use Just Add Water to clean up a smooth area of shading. That was exactly why I created that particular brush in the first place, of course.<br /><br />But, if you want the pressure control using color expression, I suggest you use the Preferences:Brush Tracking dialog to adjust how quickly the pressure goes to black. This is adjustable with the Pressure Power slider. Try it.<br /><br />When I installed Painter 12, I had to fix this also to suit my taste and the springiness of my new tablet.<br /><br />--MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314130812566991108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334018989882702842.post-18159667323264317142012-06-02T01:22:38.736-07:002012-06-02T01:22:38.736-07:00Hans, I had not paid much attention to your drawin...Hans, I had not paid much attention to your drawings until now. I mean, I liked them, period.<br />Aside of the natural, full control of Painter, you have a unique style , something between Herriman, the polish poster artists and Escher. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />As a (now, former) animation, by the way , I have to tell you that , in my early Painter days, I inmediately recognized and appreciated Painter´s rotating canvas. I did a lot of Wacom/Painter evangelism with my fellow animation and bosses with not much sucess. Curiosly, most of them today animate in Flash , which (vector or not) has crude drawing tool compared to Painter.<br /><br /> It´s interesting to discover now that you actually had animation boards in mind!. Gods how I like that Painter´s animation tooks evolved a little too, at less a little!<br /><br />Ron , Mr. Zimmer will guide you better, but when I want to get something like you say, I use the scratchboard tool or the smooth camel liquid ink for the black line and the Basic Round tinting for colour. Some times opaque, sometimes transparent.mshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159108437552490306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334018989882702842.post-3773835682752508232012-05-21T14:41:03.564-07:002012-05-21T14:41:03.564-07:00Hello Mr. Zimmer
I am interested in smooth blended...Hello Mr. Zimmer<br />I am interested in smooth blended shading for my cartoons. I have tried your color expression method using black and white as the colors. I find it difficult to control the pressure evenly and I have to use just add water to get rid of the light marks when I let up on the pen as well as smooth things out. I am interested in a fast, easy, simple method as much work needs to be done already. I have tried the water color and air brush also. Am I doing something wrong? What is your professional opinion. I have watched some youtube videos and am not sure who is right. Once again, thanks for your work and blog. I saw they put back the skratchboard tool in 12 and it rocks once again. For me, the straight lines detaching automatically is still open to debate. I hope all is well.
