Okey, i've tried painter since version 5 when i went to school.
I can't seem to manage myself to learn it. I am a pro at Photoshop, no worries there, used ps since 3.
Can it be that im too used using ps and the translation is hard?

The pressure sensitivity when i use painter is strange, (default settings). I must press real hard to make it black and sharp, but then it comes like a shot, BLACK and big, no pressure sensitivity. What happend to the 1023 other steps?


And the brushes for me is totaly strange I know im ah newbie in painter.. I mean, i have a subject to draw, lets say a speedpainting.. I start with what.. all brushes and tools are weird.. Airbrush dont work its to blurry, 2b pencil to hard..
And the settings for each is humongous and many..
How should i start learning them all..

And painter for me is slow, or at least it seemes so, i draw a line, and sometimes i need to wait for it to come up.. Especially when speedpainting sketches and such. Photoshop works fine..


The questions are many, but i dont seem to find any good resources or answears on the net..

Anyone here that can give me a tip, link to a tutorial or something.. Please tell me how you started learning it and do i realy use all brushes? I dont do oil.. but because i dont know how they all work, im combining like EVERY brush in the set to a whole mess


Im grateful for all replies.

Sincerely
bM[tfgx]

bM: I know what you mean, i have used photoshop since version 4 (i think). Before that i mostly did pixelart in programs like Deluxe Paint on amiga and GFX2 in DOS.

Anyway, I really love photoshop. It suits me like a glove, i know it isn't really designed for drawing but some of the tools makes it great for this anyway imo. Painter seems like a great program too, and i have seen what can be done in it, but somehow i never really liked it personally. I guess it must be im too used to photoshop nowday or so.

Hi,

You'll find a lot of help in the Painter Can forum at In Depth Discussions (URL below my signature).

Post a New Topic and address it to:

gekitsu and Paulo (and others who do drawing and speed painting using Painter)

These two, gekitsu and Paulo both have a lot of experience with drawing and painting.. using Painter's default brush variants and creating their own custom variants that they share with other IDD members (you can download them). They'll help you learn to do whatever it is you want to do.

Other members will also step in to help out.. and you'll see a lot of their images posted in the threads to see how they're working.

Good luck, and hope to see you there. When you've learned a few tricks, you can come back to Sijun and share them with everyone!
