TIPS
Did You Know?
You can make the drawing appear
to have multiple layers of washes
by starting with a very low brush
opacity in the Options bar for the
first set of brush strokes, and then
increasing the opacity as you brush
a second and third time.
Change It!
You can change the blend mode of
the top layer after you finish
painting in step 37 to change the
final look of the pen-and-wash
drawing. Try Hard Light or Darken
rather than Multiply for totally
different looks.
Attention!
To make the washes appear as
though they were painted by hand
on white paper, be sure to leave
some areas around the edges
unpainted, letting the white layer
show through.
