coffeejelly (edited May 26, 2003)

that is awesome :')
your pictures always have such an interesting texture

method3 (edited May 26, 2003)

that style of texturing is definately unique, never seen anything like it here. although it doesn't seem like watercolor to me so much as pastels, have you ever used them before? great colors too, the effect is quite stunning. it's a shame i can't come up with some ridiculous word to describe how good this is, like "Niftitious..."

Sererena (edited May 26, 2003)

Actually, I used to use chalk pastels with my watercolors a lot, but I do watercolors on rough paper, it's called... "aquarelle"? I think? I'm probably wrong... I haven't done watercolors for a while, but I've never been able to do those soft, delicate perfect watercolors... mine are always big and messy.

But anyway, here's how I did the texture:
1. get a 1px solid brush, full opacity and full flow, and turn the spacing to max.
2. Select an off-white color
3. Make a new additive layer at about 40% and put it on top of your drawing.
4. Zoom waaaaaay out, and just make a bunch of horizontal lines on this layer, moving back and forth, down the page.
5. Repeat this with vertical and diagonal lines until you are satisfied with the texture.
6. Clone the layer, and make this new layer Multiply. Put it BELOW the additive layer.
7. Now zoom waaay in, and use the move-layer tool to move the layer up one pixel and right one pixel.
8. Play with the opacity of each layer until you are satisfied. You may have to darken the multiply layer a bit. Do this b grabbing a big burn brush and, using even strokes, softly darken the texture on this layer.

She's gonna eat the spider. Mmmmm deliscious crunchy spider...protein!

marcello (edited May 27, 2003)

Hmm I thought you only moved it one pixel up...
I should add keyboard moving for the move tool, I needed the other day myself.

Sererena (edited May 27, 2003)

Eh... maybe did nly move it one px up.... I guess I wasn't paying attention...
Ah well, looks good anyway. Thanks again for a great progrem!
