TIPS
Did You Know?
As a finishing touch, you can brush
in some photographic details by
increasing the Opacity for Layer 1,
the top layer, from 5% to about
35%. Then select the Background
layer, the bottom layer, and click
and drag over a few corners or
edges.
More Options!
For a softer pastel look, click the
Enable Airbrush-Style button ( )
in the Options panel before you
start brushing-in the pastel colors.
Attention!
Avoid covering the image with
even brush strokes. Using a Wacom
tablet and stylus you can more
easily vary the pressure as you
draw. Be sure to leave some areas
lighter and some areas without
pastel colors for a more handdrawn
look.
