    -Double request-

    I have intermediate skills on GIMP, but I want to know how Kyna hacks photoshop and makes it pro.

    Want to be drawn like a French girl too? Head over to the Fanart Forum and drop your screenies on the PW Colouring Book Resource thread. Inspire an artist and get drawn, it's a win-win situation.

    o.o wow I feel loved... lol

    I suppose I can try to put something together, I did a Q and A a while back but some of my preferences have changed since then xD We'll see. I'll definitely have more time to throw something together when I get my new computer. b:surrender I'll admit, I'm a bit hard to follow... I do have a livestream channel with videos saved to it if anyone cares to take a look xD or tolerate my taste in music.

    http://livestream.com/rikaflare <--- there it is!

    It doesn't give you my brush preferences xD but it does give you a good look at how I lay down color. I also warn you that it's not a time lapse xD so skipping through some of it would probably be a good idea since I take my dear sweet time. Of all the recordings I have there "Princess Mononoke" is probably the most complete ----> http://www.livestream.com/rikaflare/video?clipId=pla_952d30d3-fa82-4c4c-b1b0-33efb393fdac&utm_source=lslibrary&utm_medium=ui-thumb You'll have to skip past all of my setting up rituals tho xD (Skip to 9 minutes in the first recording, that's where it really starts O.o I really wish I could edit these...)

    I'll have to do a proper tutorial when I get the chance xD if it's possible. I'm so disorganized.

    Imo, I think it's better to just play around with Photoshop and GIMP - don't be afraid to try random effects/coloring/brushes etc.

    I know people tend to want to see how a certain style/sig is done but I think that just ruins the originality in it.

    Play off the tutorial - don't copy it 100% and if you can do that, you're on your way to build your own style. :]
    Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?

    I've been playing around for GIMP for eons and only have just managed to start to get a bit closer to Photoshop like effects recently. I'm a self taught artist, but self taught is generally slower progress. I simply wanted an insight into Kyna's techniques since I'm technologically challenged, not implying I wouldn't build off my own custom style, which is exactly what I would have done regardless.
