Flow jitter does not determine brush size, that's what size jitter is for. He doesn't mention it here, but you can see that Feng does have size jitter turned on. Flow jitter being activated adds a small variation of flow to the beginning and end of the stroke because the initial and end pressure for a stroke is usually less than it's body. The actual sliders for jitter will only increase the randomness of a line. So most people will want either or both turned on, but will leave the sliders set to 0 for a normal looking line. Hope this helps someone, because I got pretty confused trying to work this out at first.
The fact that Feng has so many videos is fucking awesome. No other artist does this.

you can hold shift and smake a stroke with your mouse or pen tablet for horizontal and verticle straight lines...for any angle it involves using your an entire arm for a stroke watch the traditional mediums vide on the FZD channel
@InnovationalFilms
You are correct. What I do is control the opacity manually - just like in real life. I press the 1 to 9 keys to control how much of the paint gets applied. Also, for beginners, it's better to not blend anything. Have each value be very distinct.
One thing PS doesn't do is mix colors (for example, mixing blue paint on yellow will result in green in real life). So to accomplish this, one must learn about color theory; or use Coral Painter which mixes in real-time.
The FZD Design Cinema Contest deadline is approaching soon. Be sure to submit your entry by September 30, 2013 to win a trip to Singapore. Good luck to you all~~
Cintiqs had really really bad color issues until the mid 2012 models were released- the DTK2100.
I have a cintiq of that model myself, and if you compare it to an earlier one of any size, the colours were god awful. Right now I duel screen with a Cintiq, and then my Apple MBP with retina display- and the only color difference I really notices is that the whites aren't as bright.
FZD probably didn't want cintiqs until the colors were better then they were in 2011, but it's only a guess.
You would need to install the tablet's driver, which can be downloaded from Wacom's website. Just search for "Bamboo Driver".
as photoshop normal shortcuts it is by holding Shift down and draw the line. then its no matter where you pen are. just where it starts and how long. then you can scroll it all over the screen, its only the length that moves. :) if not work. try check ya keybindings.
I should have watched this video like 2 years ago lol ty for sharing with us! :)
Depends on how you use it and, perhaps more important, how big your monitor is. A huge tablet isn't going to help much if you've got a 15"-20" screen. 6x8 is a probably a good size to start with. Go too big too soon and you'll just get overwhelmed without much benefit in the long run.
Thx, very instructive. Professional don't usually speak about there hardware, whereas it's really interesting !
incredible. U actually listen to our requests. cant thank u enough!!!
You are actually a genius. I subscribed. I plan to watch every single video. Maybe i'll post some progress? Thanks so much!
Thanks. I plan on using a 13 or a 15 inch screen. probably the latter. In that case I will definitely go with a medium.
I believe holding shift will get you to draw vertical and horizontal straight lines.
Cintiq is a Wacom. He uses a Intuos 3 and 4 model. As in other video, Feng Zhu said he preferred the 3 model because of difference between the 3's surface and the 4 one. ;)
I use a 42" LED LCD TV. Great color and it's huge. Can see for days.
@ArthurVuksake Nah. I did everything by the book:
Got a newer desktop computer (an i7) with Win7, plugged my old Intuos 2 tablet, downloaded the latest driver and tried to make it work... and it didn't.
I also tested on a friend's computer (which has the same specs as mine) and on another one which is a few years older.
I tried some older drivers aswell.
Maybe I should try installing it on a different computer, or installing XP here, but I don't have the time for that atm.. will do that soon
It's a command, hold shift while drawing the line. And yes, you can ask Feng himself, and yes, you can ask him about the particular rectangles in this video, he will tell you the same. I wonder why you do this...
There is a difference between fairly straight and straight and you can see it. While there is no need to do the shift-line while illustrating, he did use it in this particular video, for instance, for drawing the rectangle at ~2:27, and I am SURE the viewer was referring to that and not, say, to this drawings of wacom tablets in this video. I mean, ask him, he'll tell you the same. It is very perceivable whether the line is drawn with the shift or just by sure hand.
You can create them yourself by "making" a new colour and saving as another name. fx white 2 or simi white. or whatever, for your own reminder of how the colour is.
Same for more detailed - it can be set to opasity / flow, as with your brushes.
So its up to yourself to produce it to make it faster/easier to draw without swiching between options all time. :)
Enjoy
I use shift+Click while using brush tool
Thank you so much for this! I've always wanted to know how you set up the your wacom and brushes in PS, this gives me a good place to start.
when you hover your pen over the tablet surface(like up to 3 cm) it makes your cursor move. it starts to paint when you press it on the surface dude.
Games that you 'test' out haha! Nice one Feng!
@SemichilledDeviant if you are going to do this type of stuff you really do need a tablet. Wacom is pretty much the best tablet but you can pretty much get whatever tablet you want, personally I have a bamboo touch.
ah hmm... I actually own one myself... but just that the touch function doesn't turn off when the pen is near the pad...meaning when I place my hand on it while holding the pen, the touch gestures still reads awkwardly... just feel its a waste that I don't use the touch func even though I bought the touch ver =/
Where can I find that color palette? It's so beautiful I tried to replicate it but my eyes failed me... I got to the first hundred swatches and then I just raged all over the place and gave up...
So please if anybody has his palette, please link me and I will give you a free imaginary internet hug c:
how come you didn't just screenshot the video in a full screen then use the dropper icon to get them?
@vailmera its said in the vid that he uses a 9x12 in intuos 3 or 4, but prefers 3 you might find some on ebay
Yeah, I wish Wacom would've kept the Intuos3 design and added the Intuos4 features. I've got a Intuos4 and these nibs wear out so fast, and I also find that surface a bit slippier, too. But I kinda adapted to it. Anyway, thanks for this helpful video! Very informative! And I was hoping you did one on some of the tech specs you're using!
Look up his traditional drawing video. He doesn't use shift often, he just uses traditional art techniques.
Watch out with Apple screens. They do not come with the correct colour settings. You have to change it to sRGB otherwise it is viewed much darker than it should be.
Oh, and don't pay for the alienware brand.. you can clone the high tier machines for like a fraction of the cost. I know this video is old so the prices are no longer comparable, but I built a machine for less than 2K, with very minor overclocks (100% stable) outstrips machines where the cpu alone costs 3k out of the box.
@allluckyseven have you downloaded the updated driver from the wacom site? I don't know for sure but my guess is that you have a newer windows or OS type than your old computer so you'll need a different or newer driver.
hi =) i own one and they're great, i think you can disregard the touch thing, i never use it, kind of a waste since you don't know where your touching really. As far as functionality, just like all technologies when you are used to using it it is fine =)
I THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE HERE TO LEARN TO DRAW!
And about a Wacom Bamboo, I have one...
Will I see a lot of difference If i take a Intuos 3 or 4?
Try an HP Dreamcolor display. (Dell's higher end monitors are the *same* as the Apple monitors btw)
@Stickymation Been thinking about it.
While I agree he's skilled as hell and draws super sick straight lines, I think he's just using shift+click here. It's a really fast and easy way of getting straight vertical/horizontal lines.
Second time I watch this. Thank you so much, Feng.
i don't know about your apple monitor, but i saw one, i sat about 20 degrees left from straight position and white color was already yellow
Use the white pentip. This one works for me for months!
I wish you could show the wacom setup with the present photoshop software.
YOU ARE USING A WACOM ?! I'm using a wacom ! I though you had a Clintiq 12 or 21 with your skills ! Now i got no excuse to become good :D
Have you (or anybody that you know) had any compatibility problems between Wacom tablets and different PC configurations? I've gotten a newer PC and I can't get my Intuos 2 (ok, it's quite old) to work on it!
I tested it on a different PC and it didn't work there either! So I can only draw with in on my 5+ yo PC, which is terrible.
Great video! Can someone please tell me how can you arrange the brush preset like that in CS5. See at "10:30'. Like with the numbers in each row.
If you're hopping to do concept art what is the course for it called? cg art? or graphic design?
wow thats value parts is really important THANK YOU.
Is there any low cost laptops and pcs that would be good and smooth for digital painting and concept art?
My question is, since you have the ability to have something as expensive as this hardware, why not use something like a wacom cintiq? is it not comfortable for this work or is it a completely different way of working?
Ohh I think I have to turn off the pressure sensitivity too.. ^^. Thank you so much for this information!! :D
i'm torn between the 9X6" and 8X13"wacom intuos 4 and can't decide which one to buy. Feng has a bigger and better monitor(2560X1600/ 30") than mine and recommends using 9X12" tablet. but mine is smaller with a lower screen reloution(24"by Dell/1920X1080). Intuos4 offers 9X6" midium size and 8X13" large size here in korea. Can anyone tell me which one would work better for me? need to practice digital paintings and work on my porfolio soon. thx!! ^^
Hi Feng, love your videos, this one was specially helpful too, the tip about setting the opacity off on brushes and locking the smoothing down awsum! ,,
do you have to do each brush settings individually then? im guessing you do,, ive just started sorting my own out finally!
also wanted to ask about your desk settings, im finding long sessions at my desk give my back hell,, do you have any tips regarding your 'comfort' at the desk? thanks again for these wonderful vids
Is there a specific hotkey you're using to draw straight lines with a single brush stroke like that?
how is it you draw such straight lines? is it just skill or is there a command?
Just screencap the video and sample the colors in your photoshop swatches.
@dannywithnoodles He's a freelance entertainment/ concept designer.
I have borrowed an older wacom from my friend, and I'm running windows 7. Anyone know if there is some external CD software I need to use(AKA I can't change any settings for the tablet) or is there a place that the tablet put some setting, because I can't find anything. Its a CTE-450 Bamboo fun tablet.
@inSpeKKter
i wonder if 9X6" wacomtablet isnt big enough for me and need to get a larger one. i have a 24" monitor by Dell(1920X1080 resolution). Intuos4 offers 9X6" midium size and 8X13" large size here in korea. would you be nice to give me some tips which one would work better for me ? im using a tablet for working on my portfolio. thx!!
What are your guys' personal thoughts on the wacom intuos4 Medium? should I go bigger with the large version?
Actual lesson starts at 9:00 for those who want to skip the fancy hardware setup and get right to it. ;)
skill, he uses a technique that makes his lines straight from his skills in traditional art design.
hey i have a quick question! i am completely new to digital painting i dont even have a wacom tablet. On the tablet how do you move the cursor without it painting? sorry my question is stupid but i dont have a tablet.
guys if you really want to use his pallet (which you actually shouldn't IMO, 'cause you know, originality) just make a screenshot of this video, crop it down if you want, and have it opened as a separate document in PS.
Subscribed!!! Excellent instruction!!! :)
so i'm looking to buy a new pc for this stuff. is 3.00 ghz enough for a processor? and is 8 gb ram enough our should i step up to 16gb?
For a Intuos Small (6.0 x 3.7 in) what resolution works better? I use a notebook Acer 15'6 {1366 x 768}
Thank you
Thanks a lot to do a tutorial on this, i needed it
Why do you turn off pressure sensitivity?
What would be an equivalent setting on corel painter to the default photoshop paint medium?
@nakkimo he uses it for gaming too... Check his other channnel fengdesigns :)
I'm wondering which tablet I should buy. The Wacom Intuos3 or the Intuos4. Could someone give advice please? :)
press and hold the ''shift'' button whilst using your brush to draw straight lines dude
Just found your videos, thank you :)
watch his transditional Media video , he explained about the straight lines
Thank you Sir
Watch his cursor, It was going up and the line was going straight across. for sure shift click.
please someone tell me,.. how did Feng draw those straight lines that fast and hopefully without the SHIFT key involved at around 2:28 ?? the square shape i mean describing the size..... is it freehand drawing or??
Any chance we get these swatches?
do we have part 2 ??
Hi Jonie, thank you for your message. Here’s a link to Episode 34 Photoshop & Wacom Basics Part 2 (EPISODE 34 Photoshop & Wacom Basics part2). :)
hey mr. Feng Zhu, or anyone else for that matter... I wanna ask what do you think about the new Intuos 5 touch... have you tried it yourself? reply is much appreciated, thanks :D
Has Feng posted his brushes anywhere before?
apple just frustrates me i move my mouse down just to paint but it always brings the tabs, its like cmon!! but mac do have better quality in image.
What brush do you use to start the initial sketch?
The Apple looks better because its glossy. The Dell has actually a wider color spectrum.
Question: When I zoom in on my brush strokes it looks pixelated. Is there a way to fix that to where its vectored like in Illustrator?
a silly wee question, when you draw the outlines of the screens and computer above, was that freehand?
I'm a little confused - here Mr. Feng advice against the dynamic opacity, but does he use it himself? I've watched many videos of his and though I might be wrong, it seems he does. Would experienced artists recommend me to use it myself or should I start painting without it? Any help would be appreciated!
I had the same question :s
I'm pretty sure its about pressure in the wacom itself instead of messing the opacity. might be wrong but pretty sure that's it. hope it helped! :D
In one of his episodes (not sure which >.>") he states he uses keybindings in order to increase and decrease the opacity himself rather than pressure opacity...hope that made sense
So Alienware or Digital storm?
yes but its still really good.
what about wacom intuos5 is it slippery?
on the PC you hold shift.
how do you get all of those swatches
Whenever I try to make small brush strokes on my wacom without zooming in, my on screen brush will not move and a light blue ring will highlight/encircle it, does anyone know if/how I can get rid of this?
Thanks.
3:58 Regarding the Dell vs Apple monitors, I've heard that the Apple monitors main issue is, the surface is reflective, [if it's turned off u can actually use it as a mirror] which would cause some issues when rendering out stuff, since lights and things will reflect onto it.
Not quite sure, 'cus I dont have an Apple monitor, but let me know if it's the case.
I have two crossover 27" with amazing panels and in my opinion better than my mac.
You guys only got intous? I'd have figured you'd have cintiqs. I skipped over the intous. Went from bamboo to cintiq, didn't like the "draw here, but look there" style of them. I like seeing my drawing where I'm drawing.
I know it doesn't really matter the exact CPU in that Alienware, but I thought it would be funny to point out that the Intel i960 CPU has stopped being produced since 1990 XD. It had a frequency of 100 mhz XD.
