Hey, where's trice's head thread?

"Ok so... Go back to the sketch, add a basicly color to it ( NO SHADING, JUST COLOR) now make new layer, take very big round brush, very dark color(but not black!!!) low opacity(5-15%), low hardness(0%) now brush above the plate, make sure you brush under the plate aswell, the closer to the plate the more you brush, the more far away the lesser. K now take thr eraser, 30% opacity and 100% hardness now gradually erase the "black" color you used from the plate leaving only the so called"shadow". Done you jusy made a home made shadow!!! Same thing for highlights but with a bright color. DO NOT USE WHITE AND BLACK FOR SHADING, USE VERY BRIGHT OR VERY DARK COLORS IF THE TONE YOU ARE USING, BUT NOT BLACK AND WHITE!!!! You just learned the basics of shading."

Could you PM that info to me? I want to remember that.

i am failed to understand how to use the eraser
can you give me an example, video example please

The eraser is a bit straight forward. Click and drag to get rid of the area of the image you're rubbing.

i mean when i tried to erase it
it become transparant

That's what normally happens. If you get rid of a picture using anything that doesn't resize or crop it, it make is transparent because technically, the layer underneath the background is transparent and invisible. It's not exactly a layer though.

current head condition

What're you gonna make it into?

head of course
well maybe a steam robot
