Asdfgh I already checked some of them, and they're really helpful, especially because I pretty much knew nothing of these so far.

I voted for blending, color and perspective, that's where I'm not good at right now
can't wait for the rest
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll include blending in the next journal, and general painting and I'll see what else
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks I'm not good at putting a very different color to blend
and bad at light source
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
do you use photoshop, graphic tablet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I usually use paint tool Sai and I usually use photoshop for the finishing touches
I also use a tablet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm, I really don't know that much about sai, but I can recommend you some videos on yt about blending in photoshop. Also, you can try adjustment layers in photoshop to better control colors...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that would be greatly appreciated, uhm what software do you use?
I use levels,curves,hue/saturation and color balance then finalize usually with
vibrance and maybe gaussian blur
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
uhh, sorry it took me so long, I was trying to find one yt channel, but apparently it got deleted 
I use photoshop cs3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you so much for taking the time *bows head*
painter is corel right? I thought they're basically the same as photoshop
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Corel confused me the first time I tried it
BTW what tablet are you using? there's so many kinds now
that I don't know which one to get when I save up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it is a bit confusing
wacom intuos 4. Wacom bamboo are best for beginners. But you can use them later on as well, I know a lot of artists that are really good, and they still use bamboo. But it doesn't matter that much which one is, as long as its wacom, best pen pressure IMO.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I'm finally getting the hang of the bamboo now.
just getting ready when I "upgrade" though with the price of
intuos that'll be a while
thanks MagicaAnavi, I know your very busy but still make some time
to reply 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wait, part three was out? I didn't notice
BTW can I ask, do you use black on your lineart? then just color the black to a slightly deeper color
than the base?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, its out
I keep my sketch on separate layer, so when I get to certain point in artwork, I just disable it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You dont use an outline? Sorry if that sounded stupid, its just that when i disable a sketch there will be gaps on the colors
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I use sketch, or lineart if you will, but I use it only till 30% artwork is done, after that I disable it, delete or whatever since I don't need it anymore. I also tend to change a lot of things during the process of painting, so I don't want to follow the sketch strictly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's really helpful thanks, 
I'm uhm...maybe timid and afraid of ruining the colors but i'm slowly getting out of that and taking risks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh man, I tried, but my photoshop for some strange reasons stops working after like 5min while recording. I tried several different recoding softwares, but ps still crashes after few minutes....
Make backup psd files, and experiment, that way if you mess it up, you can go back
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's too bad, but i'll be looking forward, the day you make one
till that day comes, keep making more awesome art *and WIPs too please*
yeah, I will
