[Blind]

Hi all... I'm playing around with the Painter 8 demo. I don't really need 90% of what it does, but the one thing I'd love to be able to do with it is emulate black & white sketching (charcoal, pencil, prisma, etc.) on a grainy medium-toned paper. I don't mean having the texture applied to my brush strokes (well, that too but...), I mean that I want to start out on a blank canvas that looks like a medium-toned grainy paper and I just want to use something like the charcoal or pencil brushes on it in greyscale. Canson Me-Teintes is a good example.

If you have ever seen any of KChen's gargoyle sketches you'll see what I'm shooting for. errr... rather, I'm not necessarily drawing gargoyles, heh... but you see what I mean. I'd like to emulate that particular media combination. Does that make sense?

You change the paper color by clicking on the paper color on the right side of the new canvas dialog box. Just select the color you want to use and click ok. Then pick out a charcoal brush and go to work.
