Photoshop help needed.
Posted: 02 Jun 2009, 20:50
Well I have unfortunately got to the stage where I am now getting frustrated.
Ok the problem I am having is that I am uploading sketches I do on my sketch pad and they range from various art such as a Dragon for example, reason why I do this as my Graphics Tablet is rather rubbish so I sketch it on a pad.
Now I have searched and watched and even bought tutorials explaning to me on how to grasp the concept of creating a background and understanding Layers but to no avail I still do not understand at all.
I want to upload my line art on to photoshop and now the first thing I do is duplicate the background as the upload background of the sketch is locked which I assume duplicating it would be the best thing to do, now this is where I get lost I have absolutely no clue on how to utilise the brushes and I want to do this background underneath the sketch not over it. So what do I do and with creating new layers, I understand it is to add new stuff to the drawing or new objects and then and copying the layers just incase you make a mistake and somewhere along the line you have to merge it but I still don't understand that as the drawing still looks the same.
I have absolute no clue on how to actually do the colours properly as when I colour or try to is still sticks out the line of the character etc..
So basicly I don't understand how to do a concept background without messing up the drawing and have absolute no clue how to utilise the brushes with the right colour and of course the whole layer concept is rather frustrating to understand.
Any help would be appreciated even if someone knows a really good tutorial explaning this but please no video tutorials as those guys go so damn fast and constantly using the shortcut keys you have absolute no clue what is going on.
This is somewhat difficult to explain but hopefully I didn't make it too complicated.

Neale.
