Thanks so much for the recommendations you guys! I have so many new brushes now lol.

I know there are a lot of really good brushes that cost money, but I'd like to ask specifically for free Photoshop brushes that you have tried and liked. Please recommend me some good ones. :slight_smile:

I know when I'm drawing my character Ramona, I feel like I don't properly recognize her face until I add in her wonky lip. It just brings her whole design together for me. Do you guys have anything similar with your characters? [image]

Oh my god I've been watching the Netflix drama series Cable Girls and within just a few episodes it completely dropped the plot and the characterization and is now jumping from plot twist to plot twist. It's not even dramatic anymore because it's just so absurd. Everyone's behavior became out of cha…

Sounds fun :3 (post must be 20 characters)

That sounds fun but the room can only hold 8 people at a time.

Yeah, after a bunch of troubleshooting it's finally starting to work a little more smoothly. I could barely use it until I turned off pen & touch. Hopefully I'll be able to adjust to it now. I was just getting super frustrated earlier because I didn't understand what was happening. It actually ru…

You took the question completely out of context and began talking about something irrelevant.

I'm starting to think you only read the last sentence of my original post and guessed at the rest, including the title.

Okay I appear to have fixed a couple of the issues I was having with the brush at least, so now it's much more usable compared to before. One of those issues was, admittedly, purely user error, the other one I'm still not sure what the cause was but I fixed it by replacing my brush preset.

You're missing the point of the whole thread, though. I'm totally satisfied with my painting ability in Photoshop. It's the fact that I frequently have to stop painting to troubleshoot that really bugs me. Again, not a matter of practice, but of a software that isn't nearly as user friendly as…

It's not a matter of skill or talent, but of usability.

I have CC 2017 Photoshop. It's from Adobe's official website and looks the same as the Photoshop on the school computers does (minus the language change) so I have no reason to believe it's not the official version (besides it being terrible). I have Windows 10 on an Acer computer and I use a Wacom …

Ugh I just want to be able to do the fancy painting you can do on Photoshop. For the few frickin minutes at a time I get it to work it really is nice. Then it does something jenky again and I have to stop to figure out what's going on. If I could just use the few tools that are applicable to me a…

It wasn't an answer it was a series of poor excuses that made no sense?? Sorry I'm being kind of mean about it but I'm so tired of hearing "it's made for photo editing" as an excuse for why Photoshop's user interface is so bad.

Thanks. I do still use ClipStudio as my main but Photoshop is really great for painting if you can get it to work. Even if something is for professionals, you should always start simple and let people make it more complicated as they desire. Not start complicated and force people to try to simpli…

Photoshop was actually one of the first things I started using but it was so incredibly difficult I started to become convinced I was less capable than other people because I couldn't do digital art. Then someone suggested I try a different program and I could draw fine right away. Leaving the que…

There are so many weird things it does. I had to delete the other keyboard shortcuts for B so I could just use the one type of brush tool because it kept switching between the different things set to B without me realizing right away. Now it is switching to what appears to be the wet version of m…

I'm sorry but this answer is a total cop out because A) No matter what you're using a program for it shouldn't be this difficult to operate B) The Photoshop website advertises Photoshop as a tool, not just for photo editing, but also for illustrating, so they clearly anticipate it being used fo…

Look, Photoshop is clearly a superior coloring tool if you want to paint (at least compared to programs like ClipStudio and Medibang), but I am just constantly fighting with the program to get anything done. I'm lucky if 60% of the time I'm using it is actually spent coloring, while the rest is spen…

Hanging around today and tomorrow. I'll try to keep the room open in a tab but if I'm not there I have notifications so wait to see if I turn up.

I have a desire to respond to the passive-aggressive signs in the ad spaces, shaming me for having ad-block turned on, that I didn't have ad-block on the old URL. You guys are the ones who changed the website's whole name, for some reason. This is what happens when you do that.

If the site only pushes the premium content it will entirely change what the Tapastic website is and they'll lose a lot of their current readers/writers/users and gain different ones in a smaller number. Way less people are willing to spend money or jump through the hoops required to get keys than w…

I think this idea sounds so interesting! It's unique and holds a lot of promise. The only things I would say are get your world building done before you start the story (you need to understand these aliens and the witches as well as your characters completely or there are going to be a lot of plo…

I'm not sure if Slenderman counts as a cryptid, but we watched the entire first episode of the original Gundam series in class today and apparently there's a character named Slender (well, Surenda or something along those lines). I go to school in Japan and I don't know if Slenderman has any popular…

I don't get why they would take the app and make that the whole site? You don't design an app the same way you do a website. I thought the old site looked better. Something about the new homepage feels off.

Dragon Husbands is kind of my life, tbh. It's about people in a cool spacey future with a really neat combination of futuristic sci-fi and traditional fantasy, largely inspired by east asian cultures. Good world building gets me so much, I swear. As for the story, it's BL, but there hasn't bee…
