Guess you're just going to have to give your Wacom to me.

yea... more detail with mouse i guess

[duhroach]

=p
I suppose it all depends on your art taste.
Personally I like the smoother shading and more facial definition of the second image as opposed to the inacurisy and inability to produce that type of shading with the mouse.

Actually, it is possible to match the smoothness of the shading in the second image using a mouse. To do that, just set the paintbrush to 5% opacity and layer the color on with varying brush sizes. It takes a long time, and that's the major drawback.

Also, adding Noise, monochromatic noise, is one of the best finishing techniques available to mouse shaders in photoshop. Just place the noise in another layer, and make it transparent, highlighted, color burned, overlayed or whatever then erase where you don't need it (or use masks if you are smarter than me :P ) -- it reduces the borders between colors in poorly or quickly shaded areas (and crappy JPEGS) and adds texture (to annihiliate that plastic photoshop shading common in many pieces). One thing though... with noise in the picture, kiss you compression ration goodbye... noise doesn't compress well in any graphics formats I know of.

That Wacom tablet must be really good for something else though... can you set the pressure sensitivity to alter the brush size as you press on the tablet? That would improve the quality of line a whole bunch in all the under-sketchings and later detailing. That, for me, would be the reason to buy a tablet :) It would fix the effect where people can look merely at the leftover trails from the rounded brush and instantly identify the pic as "photoshopian"

Hmm, maybe somebody out there will want me to uh.... "review" ... a Wacom tablet...yeah!

[duhroach]

WOW. Ok, Another Rave. but if you HAVEN'T got a wacom, get one. I got mine today. Here's the diffrence:
