Hey! You answered a ? that showed up on my dash and I was wondering if you wouldnt mind giving me some tips for PS? I got ps3 and honestly, I worked with PS in high school and completely forgot... everything. I've been using it since mid-dec but I'm picking up on stuff kinda slow. Any life-hack tips to making my endeavors a little more manage-able? I'm interested in manga art kind of stuff

I learned more about Photoshop 2 years ago(as well as used it regularly), but since then, I’ve just used it for basic editing. I’m not as familiar as i use to be.

But manga? For something like Screen tone effects, I would just use the magic wand(or the selection tool), and fill or use textured brushes.

The selection tool really hates me, or i was doing it wrong so i ended up doing it the hard way. I made a new layer and used the brush tool so the magic wand could actually pick up the correct area.

Select it with the magic wand tool. make sure ‘contiguous’ and 'sample all layers’ is deselected. once the correct area is selected, you can color it in. play with the brushes. 80 percent of the time spent on this drawing is looking for certain brushes.

Repeat. Play around. wow I never do this sort of thing, so my advise is horrible. why did i do this. you should ask someone else im so sorry

Add some finishing touches. because manga.

PERFECT.

I’m so sorry. I’m not at all skilled with ps. My method on anything is 'attempt’. If anything, i made it worse cause i didn’t even follow my own directions. The unfollow button is on the upper right of my blog.
