Thanks for the fave on my Street Fighter work!
No problems! Your art is amazing! Any tips for someone like me trying to learn the ins and outs of Photoshop?
This might sound strange but I highly recommend getting the grasp of traditional art first before trying to master digital because it builds a lot on it as basics - The way I colour is I create custom brushes that more or less imitates traditional brushes I use and I paint pretty much like I do normally.  Also the strength of Photoshop is its ability to have separate layers.  I use as little as 5 layers sometimes and as many as 70+ at other times, depending on how complex and detailed a piece is.  It's not much but hope that helps! 

I wish you all the best with your art :hug:

I've been drawing with pencil for about 20+ years. Only in the last year or so have I been playing around with Photoshop. That being said, I'm not going to abandon traditional drawing completely. Was never too much into painting or drawing with coloured pencils...


I have been trying to use a lot more layers. Sure does make the file big quickly.


Thanks for the advice!
