Things That Hide Away - Walkthrough by aboveClouds

You're welcome! I'm happy to hear that it helped you.

Hmmm... lemme think. If I remember correctly, I mostly used the hard round brush, chalk brush, and the oil pastel brush with a few other brushes for most of the picture. The leaves were made using these brushes: [link] along with my own custom leaf brushes.

Thanks.

Thanks!
By the way, after you've laid down the colors over the shade layer and you're happy with the colors you've chosen, you can then paint on top of the color layer using a normal layer (which is what I did here). The best part is that you can eyedrop the shade colors/highlight colors from your color layer and their values will be correct. I wanted to say that in the walkthrough, but I didn't want it to be too wordy. hehe.

(Just in case I didn't explain it well, you'd have a normal layer with the shading, then a layer set to "color" where you lay out the initial colors above that, then several more normal layers on top of that which you use to detail/clean up the picture.)

Thank you! I kind of wish I had laid out the idea a little bit better to begin with (since that would have saved me a lot of time) but it is what it is.

Thank you very much!
