Are you sure? I feel like a fucking idiot for doing it.

now that I think about it, don't even waste time erasing the paper, just change the transfer mode to multiply

That's what I did before getting a wacom at least

modern, i like it.

Oh this is great, I like the use of parallel lines to sort of subconsciously imply something like a tree trunk, but it has no roots, no base, and it is growing no branches or leaves, so no productivity, so it's this false growth that achieves nothing. It's a great metaphor for your artistic career.

I use the eraser all the time. My files are all fuckin' amateur hour over here.
>I make logos in Photoshop sometimes
Making logos in Photoshop is ok sometimes. I did just that for a current client because texture suited the main usage case, and the 1-color vectorized version looks fine for other cases as needed.

Ok now my jimmies are a little rustled.

Thanks so much man. This'll help a lot. And yeah sorry about the shitty PS skills, I taught myself a few years back so I only know the basics. I'm taking a class now but it's been starting real slow.

>>235887
it's ok man
just dont be a bitch and say
>I just spent 5 minutes on google
because our answer takes longer than that.
this is why /gd/ is the slowest board in all 4chan

>>235890
>this is why /gd/ is the slowest board in all 4cha

no shit right. they get them titties up in no time flat over at /b/, but here i swear it's the same fucking catalog everytime i check. but then, priorities.

>-don't see what's wrong with using the eraser tool, that's what the other end of the wacom pen is for.

Using a layer mask to erase is always better, it's non-destructive. I've never used the erase end of my Wacom, I'm so used to using layers for everything, especially compositing.

>>236359
nigga you can't complain that a board is slower than /b/.

>>236374
makes sense.
i don't flip the pen either, just press E

I used to just make a new layer using the pen-tool. Super time consuming, but I liked never having to worry about the paper or whatever else.

My mildly successful artsy friend does:

set to multiply, and then color on another layer below it.

he says it:

It will preserve your lineart and keep the colors separate. When you save as a .jpg it will flatten all the layers.

I never bring to front, I always cut and paste to front.
I sometimes fake transparency in PS with Multiply which makes the code guy mad

tfw i never use Ai for any corporate identity projects
