hello there! just ran into your gallery and fell in love! haha

actually I saw a comment you left on a digital painting tutorial, and you mentioned that you used to do a lot of painting with a mouse.. I've been practicing my digital painting in PS CS4, and I don't have a tablet, so I'm having some troubles with the accuracy of my brush strokes.. among other things. haha. do you have any basic tips for painting with a mouse? I'd really appreciate any advice you have to offer <3

Hmmm... I haven't painted with a mouse in a while...

Using layers and clipping masks will help a lot in controlling your strokes and color. Also, try playing around with the settings of opacity and size. Since mice(mouses XP) don't have pressure sensitivity, try adjusting the "steps" and play around with it. As for accuracy, the best thing to do is keep one hand stroking with the mouse and the other on Ctrl+Z until you stroke a line you like. That's honestly what I had to do. If you want more exact lines, I'd use the pen tool, which can also be used to simulate pressure if you need it to.

Sorry that's all I really know. Again, I haven't used a mouse to color in a long time. I hope I helped a little.
