And which are your favourite brushes when it comes to colouring? I remember you really loving CS5 portable because of a certain brush at first, but I can't seem to find this magical item ;A;!
Also I noticed that your colouring is increasingly warmer these days, what has change in your icon making process/mood?
I browse through different icons from different-makers. I do this for hours on end till I'm suddenly inspired to start photoshop.
Before I had a tablet, I lot of the brushes on CS5 portable helped immensely in colouring hair because of the their differing sensitiveness. I just experimented with the thin, pointy brushes, creating strands of hair with different textures and shapes, using the pen-tool. Now however, I colour in SAI so I just use the default water-brush with changing opacity.
Actually that's mostly because before I start a colouring, now I tend to think about lighting and making it look a little more "skin" like rather than shiny paper. Nothing realistic just a little more plausibility when it comes to skin.
I rarely save icon psd's (only colouring psd's on my PC) so I'll be of more use if I'm asked questions.
