Question

How do I get my brush strokes to stack on top of each other?

Hi, I wanna know how to make it so that even when I press down all the way on my pen tablet that my brush strokes don't reach 100% opacity. I recently downloaded some brushes from the artist, Angel Ganev and in his video where he goes over his settings he said, " Even when I press the hardest I still don't get 100% black, and this allows me to stack my brush strokes." *Note that in Angel's video he has opacity and flow set to 100%. I've changed all of my settings accordingly, but still have this issue, the only way I can kinda mimic this is if I press lightly and layer over top. I even emailed Angel, and he has no clue why it isn't working for me.

Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLqG78V1rx0&list=PLz4l1wAU1EfMFogxi5k9dbs6nOLPdUIoO&index=3&t=450s

 

What it's supposed to look like:

    Hey! I hope it's not too late, but I'll tell you what worked for me anyway. So, in the tool bar go to Brush Tool, right-click on it and select Mixer Brush Tool. This made my brushes mix the colors naturally in stead of stacking on top of each other. Hope this helps!

    Hi VinnyT12,

     

    If you look at your What I have caoture, take a look at the top of the toolbar.

     

    You have size enabled but not opcacity. It's the second icon from the right. The concentric circles with a pencil in it.

     

    That should sort it.

     

    Also, consider setting up your wacom using the wacom control panel.

     

    Here is a resource that is helpful.
