I would hug you if I could. This is so simple no one addresses it. It just takes one tiny detail to drive you crazy.

    Sometimes my brush just straight up doesn’t lay down what I draw. I try to do lineart and it’s like it just goes “nope” and lays down points instead, like it isn’t picking up the whole stroke. I have no idea if the program is lagging or if something else is wrong, I’ve reset the brush settings over and over again and the problem persists, but every solution online is “reset brush settings”. Between this and my cat walking back and forth across my keyboard I’m about to snap

    At 3:10 the black brush appears to be a rough-edged solid black surrounded by airbrushed black. I'm experiencing that and can't figure out why (just downloaded PS 24). Colors seem to be fine. Any idea what's up?

  • @nicolegreazel9612
    @nicolegreazel9612 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great tips! However, my brush tool still isn't working. I have a new hue/saturation level created and usually I can change the color of things with that. But for some reason, it still isn't working after resetting and checking the opacity.

    I'm not able to figure out why when painting inside a selected areas often end up with faded areas near the edge of the selection. It seems the painted edges somehow fades out foer sme reason.. When I try to fill in the selected area, the paint is not dense. I can't seem to fill it in. Another issue, sometimes when painting inside a selected area, the paint oversprays outside the selection. I run into these issues often.

    Brendan, the red dot doesn't appear at all. I can see the outline circle for the size, but the opacity one doesn't show. Can you help me? I've done everything ( even reseted the brush tool to it's default), but nothing solved the issue for me. Thanks!

    • @BrendanWilliamsTutorials
      @BrendanWilliamsTutorials  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The red dot only shows up using a keyboard shortcut. So your brush tool isn't broken. On mac the shortcut is OPT+CONTROL+CLICK/DRAG while PC is ALT+Right Click+ Drag I believe (may be alt+windows or alt+control with the right-click, not 100% sure since I'm a mac user.)
      While clicking and dragging, go side to side for brush opacity and up and down for brush size. While using this shortcut the red brush showing opacity will appear. Otherwise, it won't show up.
