J...Bill I strongly belive you should use Photoshop. Just do a search on Google or yahoo for Custom Brushes for Photoshop. There are lots and lots of brushes and textures you can use. Try looking for dry media brushes and thick heavy brushes or wet media brushes and download them. Here is a link that might help. also check my blog in the links section there is a tutorials link click on it and search for the stuff you need. There is nothing that you can't do in Photoshop. and as you said just add some few details in Painter, or if freelance goes better get a faster computer. I know I ll be doing that. Good luck and keep up the good work..............Alekos Alexakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003546672492152295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549833138289891117.post-29727116687555608762007-08-26T21:53:00.000-07:002007-08-26T21:53:00.000-07:00Thanks for your help Duncan.

If you're trying to paint and the cursor seems to lag way behind your actual hand motions, try opening your brush preferences (there's a bunch of them) and look for the "stamping." Turn it down to a lower number and see if that speeds it up the program for you. Painter and Photoshop both make marks with their brush tools by "stamping" one image repeatedly and together they blend to mimic larger strokes. If you turn the stamping down, it will use less and maybe not bog your computer down so much.Duncan Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197141472002656649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549833138289891117.post-84182759969286037702007-08-25T15:30:00.000-07:002007-08-25T15:30:00.000-07:00Thanks Mauricio, I will post all the new work once...Thanks Mauricio, I will post all the new work once it is done.
