- I started with Sketching the general shape of the subject. The brush I used is similar to a real pencil.
- I set the Sketch layer blending mode to Multiply and I created a new layer filled with two colors.
- I started painting without adding details just for understand lights and shadows.
- You can use any brush you want but the secret is to set a low ”flow rate of stroke”. Usually 10% or 17%.
- I brushed for some hours, adjust details. Another small secret is the use of the Dodge tool (O) for special effects. (see the eye!)
