[QUOTE=snowboardmoose;29664565]I think I might be thinking in a different context.[/QUOTE] They're not really needed unless you're blending, and if you're doing that you can simply decrease the flow and use pen pressure for opacity.

A few of personal favorites from my completed AP Portfolio. :) [media]http://i.imgur.com/osVzx.jpg[/media] [media]http://i.imgur.com/Cddvp.jpg[/media] [media]http://i.imgur.com/PrNqe.jpg[/media] I am aware of the half-assed background on the last one, haha.

I like the ones on the far right where the G is the compass but it would make more sense if the red pointer on those would be flipped around. because the G represents the compass (i assume) and the pointer should start in the middle of the compass. [editline]7th May 2011[/editline] @rusty

Here's a logo I just finished doing: [img]http://i.imgur.com/yIFfy.png[/img] I don't normally like making generic logos with just a font and a little decoration, but it's for a company that does augmented reality software, so there's nothing really that's specific to the field :smith:

Pictures of the finished set. If you want to know, the play is set inside a shaker town/village. The grass acts as a divide for the outside scenes and the stage for the inside scenes.

I don't see why it would make a difference in concept design. Surely with any painting you're always working to get the best result and most accurate values?

The play is called 'As it is in Heaven' and it's a combination of 'Deliver us from Evil' and 'As it is in Heaven' and the directors own writing. Not to be confused with the film.

[QUOTE=Barnhouse;29671288]except this image [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/ON4IV.jpg[/img_thumb] clearly shows a pressure sensitive opacity brush with a big tick underneath.[/QUOTE] it's not opacity it's flow. see on the left is full opacity low flow and on the right is full flow low opacity. They're both controlled with pressure sensitivity

[QUOTE=Goodthief;29671971]it's not opacity it's flow. see on the left is full opacity low flow and on the right is full flow low opacity. They're both controlled with pressure sensitivity[/QUOTE] yeah but.. they have the same effect really, both give varying values based on pen pressure.

[QUOTE=Barnhouse;29672090]yeah but.. they have the same effect really, both give varying values based on pen pressure.[/QUOTE] yes but opacity reduces the opacity and flow reduces the amount of circles that you place down in a brush stroke. Detlef isn't comparing painting with pen pressure as apposed to no pen pressure, she's illustrating how turning your opacity to pen pressure looks like crap where as turning your flow to pen pressure looks much better

I like the texture that the ball has and according to chesty, detlef, lazylion and others you should work in greyscale
