How to Make Your Paintings ✦ Stand Out ✦

[@olivialorber3381]

Im a traditional artist and virtually never use digital art platforms but I watch every one of your videos about digital painting haha. Your style is stunning. Even though we work with different materials, I still gain a lot of inspiration and technique advice from you. Thank you for all you do :)

I'm so glad! I've been loving traditional art techniques recently and want to try to emulate them more in my digital art! Thank you for the kind words 🫶

To do a copy merge in Photoshop, you can use CMD- OPT- SHIFT -E . You can't do it with an adjustment layer at top, so create a blank new layer and then use short cut.

I was binging your videos last night while drawing and here you are this morning gifting us another gem :') Thank you Sara!

Curious to know why you don’t use procreate? Maybe you could do a video on the difference between clip studio and procreate?

Maybe because her brushes don’t transfer? CSP lets you take photoshop brushes over. But I don’t know. I think also she uses a computer not an iPad usually? Not sure really 😮

I historically haven't gotten along as well with display tablets as with a desktop and basic drawing tablet. I do have Procreate and use it occassionally! I'm traveling for Thanksgiving and plan to draw in Procreate while I'm away. I use it to make sticker designs, but I haven't been able to make a full digital painting in Procreate yet. I'll work on it!

Procreate is great overall but it has a few things hikdokg it back. It has limits on the amount of layers you can use, if you move a layer off the canvas, it will erase that part of the layer, and scaling up layers results in them being blurry sometimes.
