What to paint on a graphic tablet. Painting lessons on a tablet. Adjustment of tools for painting

Hello everyone!
My name is Matt M. Laskowski and I am a graphic illustrator.

KROK 1. NEW PRESENTATIONS

:: I don't have a tablet, but I plan to bring one.

Miraculous! But I’ll wait: try to know the answer to the question “do I need a tablet?”. Tse not obov'yazkovo may buti Wacom, the stench is less likely to vibrate, sing-songly, nayakіsnіshi and sruchnіshi at vikoristanny tablets. But if you see a newcomer at your right, then sleep better for yourself, now and then you will need a tablet.

I will correctly and clearly say:

NOT A ONE GRAPHIC TABLET, YAKIY BI BRAND I MODEL VIN IS NOT BUV, NOT ABLE TO ENJOY ZROBIT FOR YOU SUPER-DUPER MITTYA.

A graphic tablet is a tool for increasing productivity, which speeds up the process of the artist's work, to support digital media. Vіn do not multiply your previous knowledge only to those who are the subject of high technologies, connections to Photoshop. More often than not, everything goes wrong.

If you want to add a pen to a tablet, you can see a simple painting on a paper, a really practical way to use a tablet (especially since you didn’t swear at it) - it’s absolutely another world, in which you can spend a long winding way of school. Zreshtoy, after the installation of a great floor tablet, you trim yoga in a horizontal position on the table or on the knees, and the lines of your pen - on the vertically spread monitor in front of you. Until then, it’s possible to call and, it’s possible, to pass tizhn, first you will stop feeling discomfort in such a system.

I learned a lot of artists, as if they were thinking about buying their own tablet for testing, having spent 350-400 dollars on a professional model of an average level, making love with it 10 times and more, don’t think about it, because the call was not up to the price of the technique for them. Well, even this tablet can be won as an expensive kilimok for a mouse - otherwise, you can spend a penny more wisely.

Father, don't let your bugger get a tablet. Be it some way to buy your own tablet, so you can decide what you really want. The only thing that needs to be memorized here is those that need to be repaired wisely, as you buy blindly behind the principle of "everything will be fine."

:: I want a tablet

It's good news for you. Wacom makers know that people buy tablets with different colors and for different purposes. You have never been greedy with a tablet, and you can’t say for sure what kind of wine suits you, after you try it, you, wisely, think and think not about those who want to start something great and expensive.

Wacom is promoting a whole range of low-budget tablets for BAMBOO early stage artists (at the time I'm writing this article). Qi tablets can provide a good finish for approximately 30-40% of the yield of a series of INTUOS professional tablets. (As of this writing, the BAMBOO PEN tablet costs only $70, equal to the INTUOS SMALL tablet, which costs $220.)

Head over head into the digital world, best buy BAMBOO, the one you get for the least amount of agility, the one you are worthy of and you are worthy of it and far away, the whole tablet will serve you faithfully and truthfully for an hour. In the world of that, as you will become familiar with the shortest tablet, you can safely switch to INTUOS. It’s okay, it’s insignificant on BAMBOO, and you can resell it to someone else who wants to just try out the product, or you can just save it and save it on trips in other places. The requirements are put to a new simpler, and not to be buried in a new nose. (To learn only what you need on the cob, and develop in the course of how your knowledge accumulates.)

At the same time, as a result, you didn’t deserve BAMBOO, and you didn’t swear by them anymore, and you won’t be too embarrassed, because. koshtuє vіn vsyogo-nothing - and having saved yoga, you will potentially increase your chances of speeding up again.

:: What's on the shelf of the CINTIQ series of tablets? Why is it easier to stink at vikoristan?

CINTIQ tablets, for those who don't know, are a WACOM product of professional peers. CINTIQ screen is built into the body of the tablet itself. Tse means that if you paint on a new one, you will get an instant visual turnaround at a scale of 1:1. Tse yak, yakbi vy painted on the splendid arkush paper, not taking the robot from Photoshop to the point of respect. Through the back, functionality and ease of use, the cost of wines is also expensive. The retail price of a small model (12-inch Cintiq 12WX at the time of the closing of the article) becomes 1000 dollars, the same as the older 21-inch brother 21UX costs 2000 dollars. As you can understand for these prices, it’s too early for you to think about such tablets until now, until you have another important reason.

For a practical professional, CINTIQ tablets are like parena ripa. The stench allows professional artists to practice better and more accurately. The final result, which is created by a professional artist on a Cintiq tablet, would not be any better, a picture painted by him on a wonderful Intuos, but the fact itself at a scale of 1: 1 should be made to be true. Take, for example, professional photographers. How about you just start to take up photography, why will you buy the road for equipment, how to beat professionals? It’s better for everything, no, to the fact that the technology is not expensive not to make a good photographer out of you, so it’s just not to make a good photographer out of a professional. Obviously, you can buy the technique of the rest of the word, like from famous photographers, but you will win yoga on your feet, as much as your knowledge in this technique is great. In this rank, novice, having added professional possession, all the same, you will win the work of a novice equal. Professionals become less obsessed with new technologies, but they can always improve the efficiency of their work.

Ze, obviously, does not mean that you are not guilty of thinking only about it and bathing a tablet like Cintiq. The stench of creation is no less for professionals and artistic elite. Cintiq tablets are simpler than traditional, lower traditional versions of Intuos or Bamboo, because of the stench of this format, they sounded the most (olive and papyr), but the stench is not ideal. Such aspects as cursor lag, pen line wobbling, pen calibration, and bulkiness of Cintiq tablets may appear unacceptable to someone, or they can be reduced to a minimum with a variable tablet. Acting newbies (and becoming professionals) in the field of digital art can be compared to such traditional tablets as Intuos and Bamboo, and are encouraged to work on them. However, if you give him Cintiq, the stench can work on a new one, and the result will be on a greater level. These people are ready to pay one bill for such a technique, or to earn two thousand dollars.

For most people, it will be a good idea to start from the tablet of the base level and step by step rise to the Cintiq level, especially as you spend a couple of hours working on the tablet. If you can reasonably understand what these characteristics are, if Cintiq can be, the same ones that you need, then, without a doubt, take yoga.

:: Tablet personal computer (tablet PC, Tablet PC)? What kind of fruit?

Tablet computers have been known for a long time, but there were problems with hardware and computers, which made working with programs like Photoshop problematic. In recent years, the development of greater sweating, changes in the voltage of processors and simpler electronic circuits have allowed tablet PCs to occupy a higher position in the world of personal computers, being at the same time tighter, like larger, non-tablet systems.

As you can understand from the name, a tablet computer is the same as a tablet, inserts without a middle at the computer monitor. Most Tablet PC tablets with pens are being made by Wacom, behind a technology called Wacom Penabled (Wacom, which works for the help of a pen). A Tablet PC with a Wacom Penabled tablet can have all the same technical characteristics as a Bamboo tablet, for trassuvannia and sensitivity to the onslaught of a pen, behind a wink LCD screen. Tim is no less, the stench is a little more similar to the Wacom Cintiq series, but it does not reach the high standards of technical characteristics. Most tablet PCs that wrap around, what they mean, what they sound like are 12 or 13-inch laptops, and the screen can wrap around the axis and fold over the keyboard, thus transforming into a thin PC with just one monitor. Viewed from Cintiq tablets, tablet PCs are powerful, powerful, and completely autonomous (work without wires). However, on the Cintiq, the tablet is constantly working at the same time as the computer. That is, if your computer is getting old and running out, then it will also affect the functionality of the tablet. Cintiq tablets know their functionality behind the help of a connection to a computer, so Cintiq works well, the docks work properly on a computer, to whichever connections. In this way, we can say that sounding Cintiq tablets is more advanced, lower tablet computers, so that the equipment is better equipped.

One of the main powers, however, is that tablet computers are rarely covered by the right artists. Bigger Tablet PC creations for end-of-life travelers, if they want their computers to become operational in a small space. The main mass of the health care workers is rebuked at the liquor stores and warehouses. Since the Tablet PC is not a 100% product for artists, its functionality can sometimes be disappointing. Not all software will be safe with this computer, and pen calibration can be a foldable process.

For those who squeal Tablet PC, I present for your respect the following models:

Miraculous! At this point I'm focusing my attention only on Wacom tablets and not on tablet computers - but for you Tablet PC masters, there is still a lot of basic information here, so continue reading.

– Change your drivers!

Nasampered, bezperechno, you need to reconsider, that your drivers work correctly! A lot of newbies-correct-tablets often forget to install the drivers again, and then wonder why the deaky functions, for example, the onslaught of the pen, do not work. The best way to recognize, install and operate your drivers is to put the pen up to one of the folds of the tablet, then put it away and put it to another cut. As the cursor automatically jumps to another cut to the position where the pen tip is located, you can be convinced that everything works perfectly. Without the installed drivers, the cursor will not crash for a while.

- Disable Tablet PC services on Windows

This krok does not bother: shorthand on Mac, shorthand on Tablet PC, shorthand recognition of handwritten text, and “flicks” on Windows Vista/7.

Windows 7 and Vista include a feature called Tablet PC Services. Behind the lock, this function is enabled when the tablet connected to the computer is displayed. Tablet PC services, like the name itself, are only responsible for connecting to tablet computers - not to your laptop or personal computer, to which Wacom tablet is connected. These functions of Windows will be less respectful, if you can devote yourself more to painting.

To disable Tablet PC services, press the Windows button on the taskbar and type "Services" next to the search field. The results of the search may show a shortcut under the name Services. Yarlik at the sight of two other mechanisms.

Click on the new one, and you will see even more at the end of the list of other labels. The list is in alphabetical order, scroll down to "Tablet PC Input Service".

Click on a new dvіchі, z'appear in a small window, which will show the status of the services, as well as the ability to enable (start), start, stop, or disable (disable) tsі services. We are less than a chirp and the inclusion of these services.

On the back, press the "stop" button. Dock, dock the program to upload your work, then press Apply at the bottom of the window.

From i all! Now Tablet PC services are enabled. From this moment you can achieve 100% satisfaction with your Wacom work, forgetting about the "glitches" of Windows. For artists, this is an ideal camp, because This guarantees the best pen response.

(If the Tablet PC services are still working, try resetting the computer.)

- Prepare a good working area!

Those, as you sit and trim your tablet, even strongly spit on those, as you do it. For rich people, roztashuvannya tablet pіd kutom best, tk. it is necessary to create a minimum of problems with the transfer of the horizontal movement to the vertical one, and to create such a camp imitating the armchair style. A lot of people put the tablet on the knee, spiraling on the cut of the tablet on the edge of the table (tse, obviously, you can only allow yourself to finish the great tablet). Other people speak like this, like coolers and stands for laptops, so that you can make your tablet stand on a singing height. Tim, who can see an IKEA store, I want to say that they can make a stand for laptops, for $ 2, which is also suitable for tablets, no matter how large.

Of course, you can always place your tablet vertically on the surface of the table. Just do not forget to trim the monitor a little closer to the tablet, and as your monitor may have height regulators and sickness, lower it and heal up to yourself.

You can get away with the fact that the shortest Cintiq tablets have a richer plan on this plan, the shards they have are equipped with hanging supports, which will automatically give them the most convenient position for the robot, but you can still improve your work area for the help of other assistance.

:: Let's go all the way! Now how about a real tablet?

Also, when you drive a tablet, first of all, you need to check with the power of the tablet (Tablet Properties) and think about how you would like to fix it, making sure that the software is secure. I know, I know, you want to start practicing with the maximum improvement of your abilities - but trust me, you need to understand how to use your instrument effectively!

Windows users can know the power of the tablet in two places:
- Start menu - All programs - Wacom Tablet (Pen Tablet) - Wacom Tablet Power (Wacom Tablet Properties)
- System control panel - Wacom Tablet Properties
Cory Mac computers can know the power of their tablets in the System Preferences menu.

If you see it all the time, dance in front of you:

Call respect, to change the settings of your tablet, you can connect to the computer. The program to change the parameters does not work without a tablet. Also, please remember that, as a tool, whichever you want to edit, for example, a pen or a mouse with improved accuracy, it does not appear under the list of Tools (Tools), singly, most of it is not registered yoga in a tablet. Wacom tablets register all the tools you need, with whichever mode you choose, simply move it to the tablet on the appropriate signal. Tse means that you can beat more than one pen, or be some other instrument, and the skin will be your mother's power. The "Functions" tool can be seen directly to the hardware possession of the tablet, such as the ExpressKeys panel and the area of ​​active work, too.

However, a skin person will have his own feelings on the rahunka of his tablet, so I don’t talk too much about those that are more beautiful, but that they are not - just that, which, for me alone, does not mean that it will be so for you but true. Before that, all tablet models are tested one by one with their capabilities and settings. I, prote, will tell you for a butt about tying up, as if you yourself sound the vicorist. We can only look at the deeds of them. Otherwise, otherwise, they will be destroyed in the future in this statute, a lesser world.

- Profile your software security!

Respectfully, can your tablet's authorities have a [+] button like the Applications list? You will be given the opportunity to add the program in order to make special installation configurations, TILKI for the selected program. It’s even more corny, if you are parallel to victorious program, skin may have hot keys and functions. You may be able to profile your software security to no end, but remember, this will help you improve the efficiency of your work.

The power program allows you to create profiles for a skin instrument, just like a customization for the instrument itself. Your pen can mother absolutely other profiles are matched with tablet functions. First of all, do not forget to choose the tool for which you want to create a profile.

A good example of speeches, which are most often profiled in a different way, can be hot keys for tapping (undo) and turning (redo) be-like dії (like, for example, Photoshop has ctrl + alt + Z keys, and Painter ctrl + Z) , and also change some functions, which are clearly visible in other software.

Good luck to help with the installation of your software: Start the program, if you want to profile it, and then add it to the list at the Tablet Properties window. The launched program will be displayed in the list of programs, if you want to add more.

- Place on the Express Panel (ExpressKeys) only functions that are most popular!

Your Wacom tablet may be the Express Dial. Older models, like Bamboo, may accept two or three buttons on the panel; Cintiq 21UX tablets have as many as 16 express buttons. To simplify the process of your work, it is your responsibility to assign functions to these buttons, which are most often used.

Since your tablet has a lot of buttons on the express panel, do not bother pressing the skin button as a function. Giving functions to the buttons, although you rarely wink, can negatively impact your work instead of helping you. In the meantime, you can forget which functions are assigned to which buttons, and as a whole it may turn out that you press the wrong button for mercy, which can lead to unbearable consequences.

If you need to work, for example, to scatter (Undo), increase the scale (zoom in), and so on, your tablet is to blame for the button, which you press most often - the “home position” type. This "understandably better" button is responsible for bringing your function into action, which is most often victorious. For less, the modifier of the “Shift. Do not be surprised, as you will not immediately know your cob position. You understand, if you see yourself, if you need to viconate the same function, press that button on the tablet. As it was trapilos, you need to change that button, for which you had mercy, and put it on the same place, like a mali on your way. Against the back of the cob position, another function is to go, which is most likely to stagnate. For me, say dії (undo). With two buttons, rotting the instructions one by one, it’s not necessary to guess, where to tickle - all the same under the hand.

To give respect to the picture is greater - it’s worth fixing, like I’m vicarious on my Cintiq. It can be seen that the main buttons here are two express buttons close to the center, because they stink to the Shift functions. I also showed that the bottom button is often vicorist, so I added the Alt function to it. Respectfully, I also gave my friend the most victorious function over Alt - Skasuvannya dії (Undo). Tse allow me to quickly skasovuvat skoєnі diї at a vapadka, as if I had a pardon for an hour of painting.

- The only thing you need to adjust for your pen:

The express bar is good for quick access to functions that are frequently used, but don't forget that your pen also has two buttons. The stench can speed up the process of working on a graphics tablet.

On the view of the buttons on your tablet, the buttons on the pen need to be activated as access to the quiet chi and other keys, and not as hot keys. To that I raju one of the buttons on the Right mouse button (Right click) (often this necessary function is overridden), and the other - Pan / Scroll (Pan / Scroll).

Pan/Scroll (Pan/Scroll), sing-song, is one of the best functions, which is something that can be done in all programs. May, in all programs that work with images, it allows you to scroll the canvas - it is indispensable for quick access to other parts of the canvas to continue painting. It also allows you to scroll through lists with folders, pages on the Internet in your browser, everything that can be scrolled down and up.

If you want an express panel and can be used in all sizes, but I guarantee you that you yourself will not find more suitable functions for the buttons of the pen, lower or lower.

- Otzhe, how now is it possible for a real, serious victorious tablet?

Nezabar you know.

KROK 3. TAKE YOUR LOCATION

To gain respect, for example, is not a lesson in painting, to perfect one’s skills, or else such a thing. To improve your knowledge in the field of your Wacom tablet, and to help you find your own style of work in a new way.

First of all, you are guilty of the nobility, who are especially distinguished in the graphic painting, to which you are guilty. I know impersonal speeches, if they can give you deeds of perevag, which cannot be reached on paper, let us look at deeds from them.

- If you have a tool, use it to the maximum!

Graphic canvases do not make physical borders, like paper. Tim is not less, the stench is still able to physically exchange for a short time to your computer. Try to popratsyuvati on the canvas rose thousands of pixels. If you have a computer, PC or Mac, coming after 2007, you are not guilty of everyday problems when working with large files, docks do not consume 2GB of system memory to the minimum possible.

You are not guilty of being afraid to practice with pictures of a size, say, 5000x3500 pixels. Look how small the majestic file will be after another, no matter how great it looks on the monitor. But remember, that everything should be left to scale - as you paint on a great canvas, change the scale twice and paint a larger brush. And then you can tell that the canvas is no longer so “deceptive”.

- Wink with balls. But don't overdo it, don't get lost in them!

More image processing programs such as Photoshop, Painter, Tool/SAI, PhotoPaint and SketchBook Pro enhance the ability to work with balls.

Rule No. 1 of graphic painting seems to be: never paint on a ball with ashes. A ball of ashes is a permanent, absolutely impenetrable ball. You can't spread it under this ball, that's the first step, which is your fault, opening a new file, creating a new ball, on which you can paint. At such a time, the lines, as if you are painting, will be on a transparent canvas, and you can add other details or colors to the whole ball, so you need to turn it off whether it’s another line or fill it empty. The robot on the new balls is like an inexhaustible number of clean fields, where you can practice. But know that you are too richly balled, you spend more than an hour looking for the right ball, you spend the whole hour on painting. The damage of the balls can also lead to the wrong result of the robot, which can interrupt your entire practice.

It is best to reach the singing parity of the simplicity of speeches. Break your robots into a series of basic balls, such as, for example, "eskіz", "detail", "light and dark", "basic colors" then. It would be good to get into the habit of adding new details on new balls, and only then we will combine the new ball with one of the base balls, as if you were convinced that everything went well as planned. In this manner, for example, all black sketches should be fastened to one ball, instead of that, save all 10 with various other details on the skin of them.

The more you flock with balls, the more you choke on them. The list of balloons in the picture is one of my most beautiful pictures. Sometimes, the contamination of the balls is inevitable, and I'm good, that I, maybe, instantly speed up 70% of these balls, so that I can fill the space. However, when the picture was put together, I didn’t want to work that. So I had a little time to search for the necessary balls from this farce.

On the basis of traditional painting, the balls allow you to group the elements of your work, so that it would be easier to correct pardons without damaging other parts of the image. However, you can significantly reduce the speed of your work, if you do not properly organize your balls. Because of this, graphic artists are obligated to remember their traditional vision, and do not forget about those that the problem area in the picture can be erased, erased and painted the detail again, instead, to change the filter and transformation for the “correction” problems. And vzagali, at the graphic world you can work out the problematic dilyanki skіlki forever, and the canvas does not suffer in any way.

The axis from such a list (the picture is higher) is much simpler. Such a set of balls allows you to practice over the picture more freely, to see the impersonal small groups of balls.

Raju to newcomers at the gallery of graphic painting vicoristovuvat no more than three balls at their little ones, just to allow you to practice natural. You play impeccably, as if you are throwing balls, but don’t overdo them, otherwise you will spend some kind of link from the traditional approach to painting.

KROK 4. LESSON PAINTING Olіvtsem

:: I'M READY. Teach me like a technician!

Radium bachiti, you are still with me. That's why your course of teaching the technique of using your tablet for painting with olives and farbs begins here. Let's do it from a simple painting with an olive.

- Push the canvas up to the feather. Not out of the blue.

Your tablet, like your monitor, is no more than a window. Vin allows you to practice on the song zone, as you see it at the song moment. Therefore, learn how to freely transfer your canvas. As you need to paint at the end of the monitor, do not lift the pen to the end of the monitor and do not paint in the next striped piece of the canvas - pull this part of the canvas into the center of the monitor so that you can freely paint on the maximum possible space of your tablet. Working in the center of the monitor, you can work the great lines for the help of your pen, and make the process of wrapping the canvas easier, as you need. Axis why the Pan/Scroll function on the pen is important.

Modifier keys - name the keys on your keyboard, for example Ctrl, Alt, Cmd, Shift, etc. These buttons modify the functions of other buttons and navigate those how to operate the tools in the software.

The most important modifier operations, which you need to know for painting, the only one for most programs for editing images, and the only modifier, which you need to know, is the Shift key.

- Shift key: By pressing the Shift key with the selected tool "Olivets" or "Penzel", you can select a straight single line. Fallow in the cob line directly, the Shift key will switch to a vertical or horizontal line. Some programs or tools can also switch up to 45 degrees. In Photoshop, by pressing the Shift key, you can create a straight line by setting the middle and end points. Click in one place, then in another, and right from the first point to the other, a straight line will stretch. This is a particularly important function when the prospects are combined in a more free manner of painting, because You can create beautiful straight lines under any kind of kut.

- Keys [ ta ]: If you don't want modifier buttons, you need to know them. More programs for processing the image by pressing two keys as hot keys to change the size of the penzle. Especially for painting with olives, you can use the keys to select different lines on different parts of your picture. Wikoristannya [ and ] keys is richly simpler, lowering the power of the penzl, if you need to change it.

- Be unbiased, practice quickly, don't fight. Everything can be redone.

The work in the schedule is cleaner, in line with the traditional ways of painting, but it doesn’t mean that you are guilty of zmushuvat yourself to create the purest, ideal robots, if ever created by people.

If you don’t maniacally throw your idea onto the canvas, you won’t slip through your painting. You just paint and practice one small part, so you try to insert a big picture, and then you understand that you can’t continue it, because you don’t want the picture itself. On the vіdmіnu vіd traditіynyh zabіv painting, the monitor can show so richly at once. Under an hour of work, you can’t wait to see the picture as a whole, and you can spend it on taking care of those, like a robot you can see from afar. You yourself are guilty of practicing shvidko and do not boast through dribnitsa. Work on a smaller scale, then scale it down and clean up when the base lines are ready. You would practice like that on paper, so that in the graphical version you should do it the same way.

Rough sketch. Be unbiased, do not boast about third-party speech.

Repair the right statement, if you are convinced of the correctness of the sketch.

Come up with a composition, correct it when everything is ready.

Let's add those that fit into the work, then remove the lines. Add details.

- Vykoristovyte scaling to your selfishness.

If you bring cleanliness to the picture, it is permissible to change sharply, because. you try to make the image look more perfect. As if you are working on a distant scale, you will find problems in the process of work. You won't get far at your robotic dock, the docks won't zoom in on the image and don't add detail.

Wacom tablets have significantly more space than the monitor. Tse means that if you change the scale, the width of the pixels in the canvas will increase. For example, if an image has parameters of 1000x1000 pixels, for 50% scale it will be 500x500 pixels, which will increase the width of the skin visible pixel. Since your tablet may have a size of 2000x2000 pixels on the active zone, all the same, it will be small with high accuracy, you will work on a scale of 100%, do not be surprised at those that your screen will not be in the middle of other things. However, if you continue to change the scale, then the size of the tablet will become richly smaller, equal to the size of the canvas. To that, if you draw on such a distant scale, the details become impossible.

The very same you increase the scale, if you want to reach the boundary accuracy of the image. The more you improve your image, the more you can improve your tablet, giving you more allowance - allowing you to clean the image more accurately.

How do you look at the little thing more, when I tried to paint on different scales, the details of the revealed ruhiv of the pen will be ruined after 50%.

The image of evil is a screenshot of the canvas at a scale of 100%.
The right-handed image is a screenshot of the canvas at a scale of 300%.
How do you need to paint your eyes in the eyes of a heroine, on what scale would you be able to work?

KROK 5. LESSON PAINTING FARBAM

Hi, here I won’t teach you how to paint with farbs, how to correctly paint the color scheme, otherwise there is such a kind of compositional initial program. To explain these speeches, I created to finish other lessons. All I'm trying to do is read you here, spin around the basic technique, as if it were your fault, to start zmіshuvat and manipulate colors with the method of painting.

- Know how modifier keys can help you paint.

As before, for painting with farbs, there are also songs of the Korisn modifier keys. One of them, for memory's sake, is the Alt or Option key, as it is called on Mac computers.

- Alt key: You can also increase the Alt key if the "Penzel" tool is selected, or if there is another tool that works with the color, this tool is changed by the "Pipetka" (Eyedropper). The main function of Alt when painting with farbs, because won't allow you to quickly pick up the color and mix it up for mixing with a light color. You can think of the Alt key as a key that allows you to "wander" the penzel with new tones, created when two colors are superimposed. The more you win the Alt key for the selection of colors in the industrial regions, the more colors shift, smoothly flowing one into one. You, of course, can wick Alt to select new, unchanging colors from the canvas, to wick them here. As you can see farbs, the Alt button is just right on the express panel. Especially to the fact that it is practical for all the programs to process the image and use this modifier for the same function.

- Beat the pressure for opacity and low opacity for mixing colors.

More image processing programs with the function of pressing can make the penzel so that, if you press harder on the pen, the lines become thicker, instead, they become wide.

In Photoshop, it is easiest to know the settings in the Other section on the Brush Settings panel. (Also, in the CS5 version, this section was renamed to Transfer (Transfer), so check it out, as if you have CS5.) If Opacity Jitter is set to Pen Pressure, it is easy on the pen, the lines will come out light, nap_prozorimi, and a stronger infusion on the pen will be given as a result of hard dense lines. I have pleased you to turn on the section under the name Dynamics Form (Shape Dynamics) under the hour of painting, because you don’t need it, so that the lines are at once, so that they are light, that they sounded on the beats. The price of opaqueness can be stagnated to some kind of cyst, and you can easily call to it, try and wonder, as it allows you to easily mix colors. Note: in some programs Opacity is called Density.

Now, if your lines are able to sing the same ribbing of transparency, put some farba on the canvas and choose another farba, which you paint on top of it. Keep in mind that the colors will go down, tk. one can see the crisis of one. Changing the pressure on the pen can help you control such speeches, like gradation and volume of objects. If you pick up a new color from the industrial zone, as if you were well-farmed, you can win the new color from a low opacity, so that you can even more scatter the farby on a given area and create a shape.

1) On this little one you can see that we start from a simple sight, where two walls of that subtext converge. One wall is yellow, the other is sira, the pidlog is also siri.

We choose to paint on the object of light, which falls into the dzherel, and in the order of the shadow.

2) At the next stage, I hit the Alt key, to select the gray color of the sublogs and the trochs of the light yoga with an eyedropper. I made a small area on the slope with this color in order to create the appearance of a falling shadow.
Similarly, I added a yellow color to the wall and troch, darkening it, in order to paint the continuation of the shade.

Contemporary artists often vvazhayut for better painting for additional tablets. This method may have a lot of advantages over the analog one. It’s easier to correct little ones, it’s not necessary to suffer with digitizing a picture, for a graphic sketch, and for a pictorial folding landscape, the same tool is needed.

Professional artists, it is clear, choose good expensive graphic tablets, which can be connected to a computer or a 24-inch self-contained extension. And from what you want to draw for yourself, mothers are smaller gadgets, or just try it, then you can get by with a great tablet computer.

Chi can be drawn on a great tablet

Whether a tablet computer is suitable for painting on a new one. Understandably, foldable robots will be prepared foldably, then for schemes and drawings of the tablet, stick out “from the head”. It’s also easy to draw swedish sketches and painting. I came up with an idea for a thought - once you get a tablet and draw it. You don’t have the meaning of de vie: at work, at home, in a cafe or in a park. The tablet is attached to the hand and zavzhd under the hand.

All that is required for drawing is the software security and the stylus.

For a graphics tablet, you need Photoshop or another editor for graphics, and you simply install the necessary program on your computer.

A dekilka of video lessons will help you get used to painting. With the greatest tablet computer, everything is richer.

Like a baby on a tablet: programs and programs

For a tablet, you need to get a program. You can smartly subdivide them into two categories.

• The first category - the simplest programs for sketches, de-encirclements, and, as a rule, one ball. The stench is inexpensive or cost-free.
• The other group is to be upgraded and upgraded versions of Photoshop. There is the regulation of the onslaught and the transparency of the brush and balls.

Drawing on a tablet for an hour can be difficult on the right. You have the necessary programs, and the axis is turned on and that's it, you can start painting. All the tools, the most powerful ones - everything is at your fingertips. All the colors are ready to sing, nothing needs to be changed. Even though some people have switched from traditional painting to Photoshop, but not so well; you don't need to know copies of your favorite instruments. However, as a newcomer in both types of painting, the first stage is transformed into a nightlife, for whom you do not see that it’s a dream!

The trick of Photoshop lies in its obvious simplicity: the axis is set to penzliv, here are all the colors, and the axis is gum, and the axis is the “Skasuvati” command. You start small things, but the result looks no better, and you start digging in the tools and try to fix everything. I just marvel at how rich these tools are! You try them all, one by one, and chaklunstvo trapleyatsya.

However, "enchantment" means you let Photoshop do the painting for you. You don’t control in any way, but the result looks better, lower you, newbie, could have worked (at least you think so). So you allow such a head of speeches, create a bunch of little ones at the top, so that once the stench transforms into a performance of mysticism.

Professional artists, who practice on tablets, use Photoshop to infuse their fantasies into life, but the stench looks at it as nothing more than a tool, and not a machine. What's the difference?

• Professionals to present the effect and mock up the yoga program
• Beginners zmushuyut the program hos, and even if they are satisfied with the result, they deprive them of the effect.

Do you guess anything else? If so, then read it. In this article, I'll show you how to improve ten aspects of your workflow so that you become an accomplished Photoshop artist. With ten simple joys, you will understand the pardons, which, perhaps, have been taunting you for a long time!

To give respect: the problems described by me are in situations when the artist reaches the effect without being aware, trying to reach the realistic style. If it was planned, then it’s not a pardon!

1. Wrong canvas size

Start a new job - it's easier, lower pick a tsukerka from a child. Wee push File > New(File > Create) or Control-N, so you're more comfortable with Photoshop. It turns out that everything is so simple, that sometimes people do not mark pardons at any stage.

A axis i three aspects of the problem.

1. Too small size of the canvas

Like objects are made up of atoms, the skins of Photoshop babies are made up of pixels. Tse vie, sing-song, you know. But how many pixels do you need to create the details of little ones? 200 to 200? 400 over 1000? 9999 to 9999?

The pardon of the newcomer has been expanded - to choose the size of the canvas, which will show the diversity of the screen. The problem is that you never know what kind of permission to be respectful of the one who looks at your work!

Let's make it clear that on your screen the little ones look like they are on the butt 1. Vіn vіdkriy to the full height of the screen, and there is no need to scroll it, to cheer it up, and you are in power. The maximum size for your permission is 1024 by 600. For those with a separate building screen 1280 by 720 (2) and 1366 by 738 (3) there is no need to worry about anything. Ale to show respect, which is seen in coristuvachs with larger screen resolutions - 1920 by 1080 (4) and 1920 by 1200 (5). The little one takes less than a month on the screen. And for these koristuvachs, you truly slaughtered the little ones insufficiently old!

I on the right is no less near the "white space" like your little one. "Great razdіlna zdatnіst" does not always mean "bigger screen". Your smartphone can have more pixels on a smaller screen than your computer! Just take a look:

1. The very same rosemary, richness of different buildings
2. Rіzny rozіr, the very one didzvіl

What does it mean? For other posters, to encourage your work, the whole screen can be seen.

Ale, the expansion of your little one is worth more than that. The greater the distribution of buildings, the greater the screen pixels. In a small space of buildings, eyes can take 20 pixels, in that hour, like a great only wine, you can take 20,000 pixels! Bring out a bunch of cool details that you can create on such a great square!

Axis is a great trick for you: if you are small, it’s not important, it doesn’t matter, as if it didn’t come out carelessly, it’s obvious, that from a distance it looks great. Try it!

More razdіlna zdatnіst allow you to find the most important details nearby.

2. Too great expansion of the canvas

What does it mean for you to win the next victorious majesty, to give yourself more freedom? Theoretically, yes. Actually, it’s not really necessary, but sometimes it’s impossible.

The greater the diversity of the building, the greater the number of pixels to be avenged by the splendid smear. And the more in a new pixel, the more folding it is for your computer to process it, especially if you are talking about the riven grip of the zmіnnoy kіlkіstyu farbi. For the first time, there is a practical argument against such a decision - you will need an even harder computer, so that you can easily work on a large building.

Another argument is related to this, that the great allowance was made for the need for detailed work. In the event of a popular change of newcomers, no skin work can be detailed. If you want to be realistic, you can calmly ignore the great amount of information, like taking revenge on a photograph, because those who are in my life are not similar to a photograph.

If you want to add more, lower is necessary, you might want to add a couple of details here and there, just to what you can. And if you honor yourselves, you will not be back. No matter how detailed the details, but a particular little one is guilty of only one of them once. If you want to create beautiful wool quickly, do not stain the yearbook on your eyes - through it all the little ones are no longer visible, fragmented and incomplete.

3. Too Great Ending Rosemary

Let's notice that you knew the very ideal one for your work. It is not too big and not too small, but the most ideal for the necessary level of detail. Ale, there is still room left for one pardon - let it go to your working rozmіram. Possibly, you need a lot of pixels, so that these small details can be seen in your eyes, and even these details will be visible “from afar”.

Navischo allow їм їм їмні їмні details?

... how can you be less visible than those who can?

First, save the file, change its size. I will not show you the most optimal solution, for those who simply do not have it. The rule is this: the more detailed the image, the less details will be ruined, as if to show yoga in a high-rise building. The more little ones throw themselves at little ones, the more beautifully we look at a small razdilny building. If you want to learn more about it, take a look, which allowed your favorite artists to win, posting their work on the Internet.

Another thing: if you change the size of the image, flip it, which resampling algorithm suits you best. Let’s make them look brighter, but maybe you don’t want to.

2. Start from the white ashes

It is possible, looking trivial - what is wrong with the big ashes? Well... wine is neutral, right? Looking like arkush paper.

The problem is that there are no "neutral" colors. "Prozory" is the closest, but it's impossible to paint it. Color is color. If two colors appear, a single reaction will appear by itself. For example, yakscho ce white + color A, it will be "color A dark". It doesn't matter how little we grow up, you will honor the dark color only to the one who chose the most beautiful background among the possible! mustache looking dark, parted with him.

One and the same color changes its visible brightness on skin aphids

In the traditional art of victorious art, it’s whiter, so it’s technically easier to place the dark one on the bright, lower on the other side. Ale in painting on a tablet for no reason! You can actually see it from a black background, but the wine is so filthy, like it’s pure white. In practice, the most "neutral" color is 50% gray (#808080).

Why? The color of the background changes your background of other colors. On white aphids, dark colors will look too dark, and they are unique. On the black aphids, they will stand on their own, only with brightly colored kvitami. The result in both views will be a weak contrast, so you remember the hour and try to change the body. Axis proof:

I started my little ones on a too dark aphid, and then I wanted to change to a bright one, and I just blinded me!

Know the artists can start from any background, from whatever they want, and work it out to the maximum, but if you don’t take into account the awareness of your knowledge of the theory of color, start with something neutral - not too dark.

3. Identification of a strong rose

Obviously, sometimes your sprynyattya bright and dark can be created by the filthy brightness of the screen. As you victorious laptop, then, perhaps, you noted how the contrast changes, as if marveling at the screen under different cuts. How can the contrast reach, which can play everything correctly, independently from the screen?

Forget that you have a good screen, after a long period of time at work, your sleep will not be perfect. As you change the tones step by step, step by step, the contrast can look good only to the one who wins the shortest, lower five steps to that. The item below may look bad.

... until you compare yoga with a subject of strong contrast. And who knows, maybe if you equaled the other from the third, then maybe the contrast, how mi yoga is accepted, would decrease automatically?

Photoshop is a tool that can help you in this situation. Vin is called Levels(Рівні) and tse, really, the histogram - won't show how much skin color can be seen in the image. You can say it all by pressing Image > Adjustments > Levels(Image > Customization > Rivnі) or Control-L hotkeys.

How do you work? Take a look at qi chotiri zrazka:

• Maizhe is the same number of white, black and middle tones
• Only black and middle tones
• Only white and middle tones
• Only white and black, maybe no middle tones

Can you read the histogram?

You can change the levels by pulling the sliders. At that hour, I’m changing the total number of tones, helping to place them on the plate in the histogram.

The histogram shows us that in our object there are a lot of midtones, but just as well, a lack of dark and light areas is visible. It doesn't matter what mi bachimo - tse those who seem to be our computer! Although there is no ideal recipe for rivers (to lie in the light of the stage), there is a strong shortage of dark and light areas - this is a bad sign.

Just marvel at what will happen, as we can move the slider closer to the center!

The contrast has changed for the better, but through it the confusion has suffered, the shards have now changed the midtones. But it doesn’t matter if I correct it manually!

What is the way to win the verna tony from the very cob, so that everything is not necessary? So, if I really borrow you less than an hour, sound lower! The solution is to choose fewer tones - dark, yaskravy, middle tone, and a trio of black and white.

To make it practical, first start the little ones, plan the lighting on the sphere:

• Paint a color and fill it with a dark color (black is not recommended).
• Add a middle tone.
• Add the best color (white is not recommended).
• Add one or two middle tones between them.
• Add some white and black.

Do you see all the parts on the histogram? If we can eat them, what will become of the axis. Hurry up with the sphere, like a set of zrazkіv for your subject, shading it in the same way - darker shade, middle tone, brighter light, darker space and brighter reflections. And then we can do everything!

And something else. More than once, you will equalize two heads, one with the correct contrast from the cob itself, and the other with the correction, you will strike a difference. To this contrast, your little ones can’t really correct this contrast, as you won the wrong colors on the back - the leather material can have its own range of tones. For example, the dark part of the white surface will be richly reddened, the lower part of the black surface will be dark. Tse means that you should prepare more spheres for your little one, because your little one has no personal materials.

Remember: a light object from a dark tone is just as wrong as a dark object from light tones!

4. Vikoristannya nadto folding brushes and nadto great strokes

If you compare traditional brushes with Photoshop brushes, the difference in flooring is great, you may be surprised that they may have the same names. You can create only bigger or smaller chaotic strokes with classic pencils, just like brushes in Photoshop themselves create a vitvir of magic.

And the i-axis is the key point. As if the stench is creating by itself, you no longer control the situation. Professional artists spend most of their time working with simple strokes, periodically praising themselves for the help of folding ones. The choice of folding brushes on a good basis does not only make you lazy - it also won’t let you learn how to reach the effect yourself, the one who doesn’t have such a need!

On the cob of yours, come in handy with a painting on a tablet, grow up so quickly, as only possible - it’s natural. You want the result here and at once. penzlі koristuvach - tse vіdpovіd on the date of nutrition. You want smart - the axis is for you a brush for trick; if you want luska - the axis is for you and such a penzel. You can't paint it - get a tool, whichever you can.

Koristuvalnytsky brushes - not bad, and really stink more brown. The problem of guilt is if you victorist it as the basis of your “hardness”. As if you were smartly spending an hour, trying to understand, as if you were cleverly painting, you would realize that in truth wines do not add up to hairs, as it is necessary to paint one at a time. You would understand that our bachelor’s chogos often do not match with reality. You would know, how to marvel and how to do what you do, and not what you think, you do.

Deputy of this, you are here, having spent the last year for painting hairs, and joke with a brush, as if it were done for you. You її know, you are happy, ready to collapse far away. It's so simple that it becomes a zvichkoy, and you cease to read it loudly - you would rather take advantage of all the chips, as if it were possible.

Ale yak mitzi dolaє? They don't have such a great set of penzlіv. How do stinks paint smartly? The reasoning is simple - just like that, as if they had done it, there weren’t any good brushes. If you want to fix it, if you want to fix up the damn newbie, forget about folding brushes for some time. Practice with a simple set, like this, and learn how to make it all the best. Don't fool around with easy paths, if it's easy. Go through the tse, and you will take away the priceless evidence of replacing cheap tricks.

Here the brush for the hutra was not victorious

Too big strokes

Another wide pardon, tied with tassels - a wink of too great strokes. Tse, I repeat, are due to impatience. The rule is this: 80% of the work takes 20% of the hour spent on it, which means you need to spend 80% of the work hour finishing your little ones. As you have created little ones, a base, flat colors and a simple shading for two years, there was no more spring. Moreover, by stretching out these eight years, you will make less progress, lower for the first two! Do you want to sound good?

You can clearly indulge in the industrial parts of the work, like artists from other countries show their public. The first steps of greatness are created out of nothing. And then we will improve the process. Least of all, make a difference between the number of remaining stages, and, it’s not less, it’s a crying change, it’s possible, it took more than an hour, lower mustache in front!

And at what moment would you buzz?

Whom has a problem. When your little one mayzhe finished, you should see the need to finish it and look at the result. Ale, at this moment, I really follow almost! I remember one comment under the screen shot of the robotic process: "I'm zupinivsya on the fourth quarter [of ten]." Axis to whom and є difference between a novice and a professional! The rest of the other part of the rule is as follows: stop, do not remember 20% of the work and add 80% of the final effect.

The solution is simple. You are not guilty of completing the work with great strokes (as you paint not for swedishness). The stench of dorechni on the cob for cich 20% per hour. Hurry up with them, to throw forms, designate lighting, add great colors to the color. Then step by step change the size, zoom in on the image, clean it up, add details. You shove that the robot is getting a kіntsya, if you practice even a small penzle with an even bigger little one. In general, the more children of your little one you hit with a penzle (and the more you think, for example, adding a small difference in splendour, or a note for an additional small smear), we’ll get to know each other more.

Є th rule and acceptance beck. Since 80% of the work is not particularly invested in the final effect, there is no need to concentrate strongly on them. Start your work quickly, easily and save your money for later. Remember: there are no skins for little ones, but there are no more endings than what you rozpochali. You see, you don’t believe, you save four times more than an hour, you already spent it!

5. Vocabulary too large number of colors

The traditional art does not have so many “ready-made” colors. It is necessary for artists to learn how to mix colors in order to achieve a rich effect. Tsya neruchnіst really just miraculous. The stench does not make a choice, and they have to master the theory of color. You, as an artist-primary, who works on a tablet, have access to all colors of all beauty. I damn it!

We don’t understand colors intuitively - we don’t know what to consume in our everyday life. But as an artist, you can remember your perspective again. You can rely more on intuition, the shards of these topics work badly. You need to stop thinking about colors the way you sounded, and think about the concept of color tone, richness, brightness and lightness.

Colors do not establish themselves. The stench is grounded on the vіdnosinah. For example, if you want to increase the bright colors, you can either increase the brightness, or reduce the brightness of the background. Chervoniy, being warm, becomes warm or cold fallow in the presence of a sour color. Navіt nasichenіst zminyuєtsya through stosunki!

Navіt kolіrny tone can be changed stalely in the form of sharpening. This knowledge is more important for painting, and not only for design, how can you get it!

A newcomer, who you don't know, fills his little ones with a set of vibrant colors. stink choose yakis blue, sweat yakis greenery, zovim not wisely, what stench to choose from thousands of other colors from greenish and bluish tint, and that they all have a singing power!

Axis is so new to bacheling colors:

1. Blue
2. Brudno blue
3. Siri
4. Black

Ale ... navіscho us stіlki kolorіv vzgali, yakshcho stink marnі? The proof is like this: stink is not marny. You need to understand, the stench sounds are taken, and what the stench means. Let's marvel at the butt of the selection of colors by a professional:

1. Unused blue
2. Most blue
3. Yaskrava blue
4. Dark blue

Looking too complicated? Possibly, but not a reason to ignore this aspect! It’s too foldable, for some hour, to rattle on the gray shades. Find out about the power of lighting, shading and shading, and you will have a base for the future. More than that, the colors (more precisely, the colors of the tones) - I will call your glaze on the cake under the name of your vitvir mystekstva. The stench can make yoga malt, but they can’t make yoga the basis. It’s good to have a lot of glaze not to break from a filthy cake garni!

6. Choose colors directly from the dzherel

It’s even more important not to calm down, it’s so important that you want to cry. I know you. Tim is not smaller, so you really want to learn how to draw on tablets, you not guilty vicoristovati instrument eyedropper(Pipetka), choose the color from the dzherel. Why is it so important?

Beginners often vicorist non-orange / erysipelas, like the color of shkiri. This should be obvious, but the effect will be far from natural. However, you are speeding like a dzherel ... we know another story! Maybe a leather pixel can have a different color, not only erysipelas - you can know red, yellow, orange and cold violet, green and blue. The intensity and clarity can change all hour long, the final effect is not similar to chaos.

If you choose colors from the dzherel, your little one will gain a new life. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be as much of a shock as a direct copy. As a result, you copy the lines, but you yourself did not repeat it, and if you take the colors from the dzherel, you take beautiful colors, as if you yourself could not pick them up. The effect is subtle, but in your reach there is no way.

There's more. Such a choice of colors is your progress. You can buy a set of colors instead of one so that you can learn how to make them yourself. You have a number of colors and a lot of sliders; leather color, whichever you choose, you can repeat yourself, without prompting. All the same, you still sing the victorious ones that were already created - it’s so efficient, but you know what’s more smarter and more effective? Take a picture.

If you want to become an independent type of dzherel, you need to learn bachiti colori. To marvel at whether the object was beating yourself - what kind of color tone does the new one have, bright, richness? Namely important to say, what's wrong? And then you continue to choose colors for an additional pipette, you won’t learn anything. You can't start the race because the car is still training gum.

All materials were painted with dzherel, ale without a pipette. Like a novice, start from simple speeches - the less colorful, the better

7. Addition of colors to a gray tone with an uneven streak

I painted this picture in 2011. Tse, extremely, sweet, kind picture, and I still need it. I remember how I painted її in the gray ones, and then added colors, vicory, perhaps, a couple of modes of overlay. Color, Multiply, Overlay) (Colir, Plurality, Perekrite). I also remember that I had one unacceptable problem - how to take the correct yellow, small eyes of gray?

I didn’t save the original, but so, it’s better for everything, looking at the little ones at the gray ones. To give respect, that both yellow and green areas are dark, however. It's really not like that!

If I was a newcomer, like you, I thought that it was light to rob all the colors with the same light, and the shade with the same dark. That's why the little ones at the orphanage's eyes were so reconciled. I could concentrate on the tint, and add colors later. It’s a pity that I didn’t do this trick, and I’ll understand what took a lot of time (it’s more important that I didn’t do much) to understand why.

The simple reason is this: in different colors, there is a variety of bright colors, so you can’t lie in the light. If you ignore it, you will take away the colors. Colors, like you will add directly to the little ones in the eyes of the gray, help the important warehouse.

Both goals have the same colors, added for additional colors to the regime. Give respect, that it is not the ball of color that is important, but those who follow it

8. Shading for additional tools Dodge and Burn

Tools Dodge(Osvіtlyuvach) that Burn(Zakemnyuvach) Mayzhe zavzhdi є newcomer's favorites. These tools help to reconsider that Photoshop is a program for rozfarbovuvannya. You don't need to choose the main colors, and then the areas you want to shade. It’s up to you to control folding algorithms, and not by you, and it’s great - at any time you didn’t know what to work.

It's not easy to prote. These instruments are not familiar, but as a newcomer, rather trimmings were given to them. Not tools for shading. The Osvіtlyuvach tool does not “add light”, but the dimming tool “add shadow”. The problem is that they stench the shading of the newcomer so well that it’s even more important to calm down.

The problem lies not in the tools, but in the incomprehensible obscuration of itself. Beginners often wonder that objects can have such a color, and this color becomes darker in darkness and brighter in light. It's not that easy. It is possible, if you want to avoid shading or painting cartoons, or to instill in these moods, it’s just not a big trick.

Yakshcho tse "nachebto" pratsyuє, why b tsim not koristuvatisya?

• There is one more technique that galmuє your progress. If you are worthy, you don’t remember what you are spending. Zatinennya - tse folded power, and you obmezhuєte yogo rule "darker-lighter", more so simpler. photoshop consumed for you, not deputy you. Don't let any of the zupiniti learn.
• To make the object flat. It doesn't matter how many textures you add after that, it works just like a big brush, which means you can start little ones from it, but you definitely can't finish yoga in such a rank.
• Tse create colors; the stench is due to the fallow in the form of sharpening (directly light, more light), but not illuminating, not darkening and understand not about the background, which vikoristovyte. The stench is obscuring however!

Mіzh tsimi malyunki raznitsa on the rіk. I shaded the first one for the help of lightening and darkening, and the other was less than a rosy color.

Shading white and black

Expanding the range of technology - ce shading for additional white color for light, and black - for shadows. Tse vіdbuvaєtsya through reconnaissance, that the leather color starts from black (at the shadow), and ends up white (on the light). At that hour, it may be true for under- or over-exposed photographs, but it is not guilty to be the rule that zastosovuetsya to the point of painting.

All of us joke about simple rules, it’s not easy to remember that vikoristannya. Ale does not mean that we are guilty wine walk simple rules, so as not to be bothered by reality, to kshtalt: “Give me white, so that we can grow brighter and give black, so that we can grow dark.” It won't stagnate until a little baby in gray eyes!

Single-mantled shading

If you cope with the previous problem, you can get stuck with another one. Let's be clear that you chose orange as the main color for your character. So you vyrishili that the light will be bright, and the light will be blue (the sky). Vidpovidno to tsgogo, v zmіschuє color tone of the main color to yellow in light and blue in shades, from and everything. Obviously, the shading will be richly slick, as if you are speeding up with a black tab, but it’s still cunning, as it’s not a fact that I’ll bring the result to a bad result.

Why is it cunning? Selecting only three main colors for your character, you will automatically place yoga in the middle of the piece, and everything will be 100% transferred.

Really, it's bright and bright, it looks like everything else, including the “hills and valleys” of your 3D object. Otzhe, shading is rare if you can surround yourself with a couple or three colors. The blue color of the sky can create a deep shade on blue objects, but in other dark places the stench can turn green through the light that is seen in the grass. More than that, the deacons of the dark can be wiser and richer through the light, as it has passed crisis overshoot at "tin".

If you accept it to the point of respect and swear by the indirect lights of light, so that you can shade the different people, you happen to draw a light - and it's great! There is no trace of the grand penzle, the shards will change colors, and as a result you will spend them. And a small brush is significant, you create a texture on the fly!

9. Zmіshuvannya with a soft penzle

There are two main ways, like newcomers vikoristovuyut, schob zmishuvati vіdtinki, and the stench of insult is recognized for the creation of a swedish effect:

1. Zmіshuvannya with a soft penzle
2. Zmіshuvannya іinstrumentami Smudge/Blur(Finger/Rosemit)

As we have already found out, swidky effect often can be left out of control. In this way, zmіshuvannya for the help of great strokes to rob the object more flat and smooth. Navite so you add a photo of the texture after that, it doesn't attract the "plastic" effect. Again, this method is a good leash for the cob stage.

If you want to capture a classy unfamiliar texture (which is better for all natural materials), use a hard penzle, for which a lot of farbi control the additional onslaught of the pen (the stronger you emboss, the stronger the brushstroke comes out).

This type of penzle allows you to control how many colors you need.

You don’t need to confuse the stars of your power between two colors. You just start with the base color, and then lightly cover yoga otherwise. Then you can add one more ball of the same color, roblyachi yogo schіlnіshim.

If you want to make everything smooth, just choose the color here in the middle and lightly walk with a penzelle between the squares.

For a stronger texture, use a texturizing pencil (with hard edges).

Valid up to the 80-20 rule, don't brag about cheating at the cob stage. Work with a great penzle and work the edges with clear, creating more shading.

You can speed up with a smaller, textured penzle, so you can mix between colors. No tool smudge(Finger), no soft brush, no more tool eyedropper(Pipetka) and your brush size with a parameter that varies, the number of farby. Keep in mind: blending the same type of texture on the surface, you can't beat the same type of blending for all materials!

10. Wicker 2D textures for 3D shapes

A photo of textures for a beginner is the last stop, if the object is theoretically finished, filled and shading, but still looks like a plastic toy. Prote itself, the texture can grow more and more.

Let's say we want to add some texture to this great cat.

The object is to blame for the shading, first add the texture. The subtlety of that which can be overshadowed. The blending method is to lie as a texture type - you still mix, without thinking about the texture, you take the type of blending without texture (smooth surface).

You can grab a texture from the Internet or use Photoshop's visor - using the default presets. The main love of the visor for the folded texture of the luska is the inverted visor mesh. translation note: Mova go about the texture of the doors with a mesh, like the Americans at the booths sound in front of the entrance doors, the texture is equivalent to the anti-mosquito mesh).

You can also change the texture overlay mode to overlay(Perekrittya), you sing, as if you are working out of the shadows. However, to show respect that the deacons of the part became the brightest. Perhaps it will be to your advantage, as if you didn’t do any good work out of the shadows, and also one more butt to control the situation. Most of the time, we don't need the texture to create its own shading. At that hour, the Override mode is not the best solution, it allows you to sing, as the texture looks at the objects.

Now, the most important part, do not take it to respect. Since the object is to blame for being trivi- merous, it cannot be beautifully covered with a two-dimensional texture. It is necessary for us to change our form, look at the figure, lie on the way out. There are three main ways to grow - experiment, and you will know your coax:

• Tool Free Transform(Will not transform) (Control-T) in mode Warp(Deformation)
• Filter > Liquify(Filter > Plastic)
• Edit > Puppet Warp(Editing > Puppet Warp)

For spheres the best speed Filter > Distort > Spherize(Filter > Spelling > Spherization)

To the end of puppet deformation

After the victorious puppet deformation

Override mode to rob the ball with brighter parts, covered by large areas of the texture. We could quickly replace the new regime Multiply(Multiple) (vin to rob the bіlі oblastі bіlsh prozorim), ale vіn b zrobiv sіrі tone dark, nіzh it is necessary. Another tool for adjusting texture transparency.

Double click on the ball and play with the sliders Blend If(Consignment note, yakscho). In short, they can adjust the transparency of white and black.

Press Alt to "split" the slider to achieve a softer effect

We need to understand what texture is. Tse not a rude visor, rooms directly on the object. Really the surface unevenness. If light falls on a smooth surface, it will vibrate completely. For example, the surface of the shorts, for example, is formed from dry humpbacks and sagging, light, which falls on it, to create faceless crying shadows - the same texture, yak mi bachimo.

From this one, one more visnovok can be planted. To lightly create a visible texture, without light may not be the same texture. And what is the shadow, if the light is not defective? Also, we need to change the visibility of the texture in the dark areas (still brighter), or clean up the texture (no light - no texture). You can speed up for whom with a ball-mask or play with 3 sliders Blend If(Consignment note, yakscho) (another row). Remember that the burial in the texture is really dark, so that the stench is not to blame, but the darker, lower “singular” area of ​​darkness.

The texture overlay will go smoothly and easily, as soon as you figure out what to work after you get it. However, do not quit. All textures are different, and even though some of them look miraculous when applied directly, more likely to work.

Here again the 80-20 rule comes into play. Adding textures is not easy, but you can spend an hour on those that look beautiful. At my butt, I mixed up the edges of the shading for the help of a little light. Speeches, take them away for a good time, but the stench changes mustache!

On the first area, the texture is overlaid in the Overwrite mode with low transparency, so that it was not necessary to remember; the same for the other, but the creation is stagnant. Align them with the rest, in a similar situation, fix the “Invoice, just like” and manually correct the error.

Visnovok

As we have remembered, most of the problems of newbies are similar to the achievement of miraculous results, without reporting the daily challenges and the flooring is soft, it is possible to do it. So it’s not a short time for a beginner - it’s smarter, it’s worth changing, because Photoshop is a program for creating art. Tse vede to the last search for tools and cunning, instead, to report more knowledge and try to understand and solve the problem.

You can't become a digital artist for nothing that professional graphic editors bought you. Photoshop - it's just a tool, it's amazing, it's more efficient to draw, it's a brush and a farby, but it's all the same tool. You can get more wine, you don't want to! If you want to develop the new maximum of possibilities, setting yourself up as a digital canvas for digital farb. Forget about all these fashionable tools, filters, brushes or overlay modes. Just paint like you painted on paper.

To learn the theory of color, perspective, anatomy - all the speeches, like the minds of the "primary" artists. In an hour, you will understand, how to use the tools of Photoshop, to work those speeches easier and smarter - but not to run ahead of the locomotive, trying to create cool effects, you can’t understand them. Patience is the key to everything!

In the world of design, more and more space is given to programs that make it easier to work with robotic programs with graphics. Leading position among the average gadgets is borrowed by a graphic tablet.

For the most part, modern designers have taken away a number of advantages, such as the ability to master the luster of illustrations to the most important details (which would be impossible to achieve with a victorious bear), the ability to control the line of the pen slavishly in the face of pressure.

In the Adobe Illustrator program, drawing on a tablet can be done with such tools as an sheep, a penzel and a brush-brush. We will talk about them ourselves in this article. But the emphasis should be on how to set up such tools for working with a graphics tablet.

I want to remember that the brush tool is the best victorist for the little one, that it is made up of a line of different comrades, and the olive tool is the best suited for painting silhouettes.

Let's do it!

The most important - correctly lashed pen

Vіdkrivaєmo Vikno - Shields that vibiraєmo whether it be a brush of round shape. Two clicks on the end of the brush you have chosen, as a result of which a dialog box is opened with nashtuvannyami. For this one, the offensive parameters are set: Diameter - 10, pressure of the pen, 10 (equal to the maximum diameter of the pen). These parameters allow us to change the tovshchina of the contour fallow from the step of the vice from 0 to the subfloor.

To change what we have done, select the Blob Brush Tool and start putting specks with a different level of pressure.

Having trained in such a rank, you can create a contour with a different tovshchina, with which you do not interrupt yoga, which will be very beautiful when painting.

If you didn’t get far enough to paint with a different grip, then rajah pogratisya with the parameters of the pen of the tablet itself, as you can find in the Start menu - Use programs - Wacom Tablet - Wacom tablet power. Adjust the Sensitivity of the pen parameter until it is soft, until the painting of such a line will go into you without much effort.

Use the Penzel tool (Paintbrush Tool)

Double-clicking on the end tool on the Toolbar, it will show up with the settings. Now familiar with the parameters of the brush.

Conquering the filling of new strokes with a penzle - if you choose these options, the program will stop filling up to the contour, which is especially beautiful when painting closed contours.

Save view - when this parameter is selected, the program will remove the view contour after painting is completed.

Editing zone for visible contours - if this parameter is selected, you can make changes to the visible contour.

In borders: _ pixels (becomes available when choosing the forward parameter) - shows how many pixels can be close to the already known contour in order to be able to make changes to the contour.

The Blob Brush Tool

Double-clicking on the end tool on the Toolbar, it will show up with the settings. Now let's get familiar with the parameters of the Penzel tool.

Preserve vision — when this option is selected, the program automatically fills the contours with visuals while still painting.

Merge only with the seen area - when you select this parameter, the program will merge the new area with the already visible area.

Accuracy — shows you how you can move the penzel, first lower the program will automatically add a new reference point. Available values ​​are 0.5 to 20 pixels. The higher the value you set, the more the contour, which is created, will be less collapsible (with a smaller number of reference points) and will be more smooth.

Smoothing - shows the smoothness of the smoothing when painting. Available values ​​are 0 to 100%. The higher the number of values ​​you have chosen, the more smoothing the outline will be for the hour of painting.

Rosemary - set the penzle's rosemary.

Cut - choose cut to turn the brush.

Roundness - shows the roundness of the penzle (which is greater than its value, then the roundness is greater).

Nalashtovuemo tool Olivets (Pencil Tool)

Double-clicking on the end tool on the Toolbar, it will show up with the settings. Now we are familiar with the parameters of the "Olіvets" tool.

Vidhilennya vіdpovіdaє for the frequency of adding new reference points when painting with olives. The higher the value, the kuti will be less friendly and navpaki.

The smoothness of the smoothness of the foot is smoothed when painting. The greater the meaning, the more smooth and smooth will be the creations of the contour.

Reset the fill of new strokes with olive - this parameter allows the program to stop the fill from being stopped until the outline. Before painting, do not forget to choose the color of the fill.

Keep visible outline — Select this option to keep the visible outline after creation.

The zone for editing the visibility of contours determines whether it is possible to change or combine the vibrations of the contour, if the operator is on the sing line (specified by the advancing parameter).

Between: 20 pixels. (available as front option selected) - shows how many pixels can be close to the main outline so that you can make changes to the outline.

To turn on the lock after the lock, just press the Advance button.

It is made up of "canvas" - the touch surface and the "pen" - the stylus. This accessory allows the artist to imitate painting on paper. Scribbled with a stylus on the surface of the tablet, the image is displayed right on the computer. More expensive copies will allow you to download the image once on the tablet itself. But with a gadget, not everything is so simple. Koristuvatisya him - zovsі not the same, scho paint on paper. How to learn to draw on numbers is described in the article.

How to learn to draw on a graphic tablet: the main reasons

Images of landscapes, portraits, anime, comics, and everything that is worthwhile, on digitizers (for example,) are much better and better, lower on a loud paper or a bear on a computer. Especially in the first turn viruchaet swidkіst, especially as a gadget vikoristovuєtsya for robots.

How to start painting for the help of a graphics tablet? Axis 3 heads:

1. Learn how to do it traditionally. If you don’t remember to display pictures on paper, then you can’t add “tricks” to the gadget to make it look beautiful. The more masters appear on paper, the easier it will be on numbers.
2. Exercise regularly. You can marvel at different initial videos in a row, how to paint correctly on a graphic tablet. Nayskladnishe - call, that the little ones are applied with strokes, and not with the help of a hand on the surface of the annex. For the cob varto, work out on images of simple figures (trikutnik, square skinny), hatch them, write the alphabet, then you can draw pictures on paper, put them on a tablet and trace the contours. The hand is guilty of zvikati to the force of pressing on the pen-stylus.
3. Choose a program for painting, as if you fell to the soul. Zruchna that mindful program is one of the main elements of painting. For folding graphic little ones, Adobe Photoshop is optimal. But you can also use easy software: GIMP, Paint Tool SAI or some other utility. Prog varto protest against the openness of the hand on the computer, click the interface with the mouse to recognize all the possibilities of the software.

Do not hesitate to switch to folding technologies and recognize, like drawing anime and comics on a graphic tablet. All tse vimagaє the rightness of the practice. Here we follow the principle of “from simple to folding”.

How to fix a tablet for painting on a computer

Plug in a new device and start at the same time on a new one for newbies, it’s unlikely that you will see: I’ll first need to install yoga for myself. Why start painting on a graphic tablet (like that)? Vіdomo, scho connect the gadget to the computer, laptop. Do not hesitate to use a standard USB cable, which is supplied in the kit. What work has been done - let's take a look at the points.

Pokrokov's instruction

Otzhe, stages of nailing:

Nalashtuvannya varto adapt to its own likeness, changing the displays, the docks of stench will not become the most difficult for robots.

Basic pardons for painting

Draw through a graphic tablet on a small model - it’s hard to do it silently and on the cob. Beginners can choose, for example, the wrong kind of linen, or they can choose the wrong penzliks. In order to prevent the widening of pardons, varto vivchiti stepped on to divide the statutes.

Incorrect canvas size

There can be 2 problems here:

1. Too little leaf. Pochatkіvets the artist sings vikoristovuє rosemіr arkush pіd razdіlnu zdatnіst svogo screen. It's fundamentally wrong. It is not possible to know for sure on which screen there will be more marvel at other colorful creations of the image. That’s not the way to “save” on the allowance, which is more – the more pixels in the picture and the sooner the bag will allow.
2. Even the great arkush. For maximum razdіlnoї zdatnosti need a hard PC, on which there is no less hard program for processing pictures. Also, keep in mind that the size of the building is the best for detailed paintings. Don’t get little ones on a graphic tablet (for example,) you need them yourself.

Chi є virіshennya tsikh problems? First save the picture, you need to change the її rozmir. Ideal parametrіv allowed, scho pіdіde absolutely everything, not іsnuє. And yet there is a more general rule: the more detailed the result, the less chances, the fault will be fuzzy and let us maximize it. And the axis, if the picture is a little sketchy after the idea, then it’s better to win a small razdіlnu zdatnіst.

Unique strong rose

Buvay, scho sprynyattya vіdtinkіv destroyed through the quality of the display itself. So how do you create the necessary contrast, which will look the same on all screens? Photoshop has a special tool called Levels, which shows how the skin tone of the picture is drawn. You can change your equals, change your bells and whistles.

The contrast ratio lies, obviously, in view of the picture itself, but even though there are no dark and light zones on the image - the little ones are no more visible.

First of all, it is necessary to plan lighting on the sphere:

• paint a stab and shade yoga with a dark color (not black);
• add a middle tone, then a brighter one (not whiter);
• add 1-2 pivtoni;
• add a small amount of black and white;
• Let's remember everything and smooth the transition.

You can twist the blank to shade other objects. Children according to the resolution of the pictures should be the same: darkest tone, napivton, brightest, napivton, white and black tone.

Too richly folding brushes and great strokes

Artists-professionals paint most of the work with simple strokes, less than a little vicorist folding. Under an hour of painting on a digitizer, like a pidbir of brushes, it is meaningful to say: є penzliks, for example, for making art or brushes. No need to train with a painter, but you are already ready for a solution.

Shields for different little ones - just handy. The problem of vinikaє, how to vindicate them as the main learners. So don’t shove the way beautifully and paint smartly, but just take the necessary penzlik and paint it. As soon as you become a star, then the coristuvach will stop reading. For the cob of varto, use simple penzliks, as a first step, paint - and then move on to folded ones.

There is one more problem connected with penzliks - the vengeance of great strokes. If the picture may be completed, the next step is to check the finished result. The first axis here is coristuvach deep into great strokes. Ale is not correct. Great strokes need to be drawn only on the back, to add a shape, to add colors, etc. Promote the details and complete the outline with a small pencil. Tse dopomozhe create even more realistic and accurate pictures.

Too rich in colors

Pochatkіvtsі artists can paint, shaping the colors, like zovsіm do not get along with each other, for example, changing the blue and greens. The diversity of visuals in programs installed on a graphic tablet (for example,) is a great field of creativity. The problem is that the coristuvachi are guilty of intelligence, the stars are taken in all colors.

It is necessary to increase the number of bright eyes, - it is necessary to increase the number of bright spots, or to reduce the show to the tone. The red color becomes warm or cold, fallow into the air, some kind of roztashovaniya entrusted to them.

Pochatkіvtsі artists, who do not know what, just fill the picture with a vipadkovy set of tones, not thinking about it every day. Obov'yazkovo is necessary to sort out with the nutrition of shading, lightening and changing the tones, only so we see a lot of little ones.

2D textures for 3D shapes

Although a robot can be trivial, it cannot be beautifully covered with a 2D texture. It is necessary to change the form in a suitable way to the object on which it will be applied.

Photoshop has 3 tools for this:

• Vilne transformation in the mode of deformation;
• Filter - Plastic;
• Redaguvannya - Puppet deformation.

The texture is the shortness of the surface: if the surface is uneven, then it is light, falling on it, creating impersonal shadows. Price and texture. Varto change, or bring it back to see the texture in the dark areas of the object. It’s not enough to apply texture - it’s still necessary to properly process it on a little one.
