Description: Hello, people. My first post here...
I'm desperately looking for ways to kick myself to drawing more. Hopefully daily sketching for Daily Sketch will do the trick.

About 1 hour in Painter 9 + 5 min for photoshop polish.

Thanks alot. :)

I used some standard 'Artist's oils' brushes in Painter and just threw some texture and filter in photoshop.
I havent still quite become used to using brushes in photoshop.

if you want an 'oil' feel in photoshop, try using a hard edged brush, with pen pressure controlling opacity, and brush size constant. make sure spacing is close enough that you don't get wierd stamp effects. that should give you good control over color. if you want to get a paintier look, try the rough brush shapes, or making your own.

when you use rough brushes (anything other than a circle) i recommend setting the brush angle to 'direction,' so the brush rotates as you draw. this also avoids that stampy look. a tiny bit of angle jitter livens it up too.

at least, that's what i've found so far, that should get you off to a good start with ps brushes. obviously you'll want to have full opacity and size control sometimes, etc, so mess around. theres lots of control in PS.

you can get the brush settings window by hitting f5, by the way. use it all the time.
