Your bubbles are amazing. I love the way you make them, but I was wondering, with the light reflections, etc, if you could explain them in more detail. I adore your art, it's brilliant. I wish I was half as good as you... xxx

I tried it on SAI (I don't have Photoshop) and it actually worked pretty well since most of the brushes used were basic ones Thank you for this!

Apofiss In reply to Pigcurrant [2010-12-05 18:00:09 +0000 UTC]

photoshop cs3. the mentioned brushes are all default ones like 'hard round' or 'soft round' brushes.
