Thanks Slylok. As for the blending, I used a bit fo smudge tool on the base of those layers, but came out to be insufficient, it has to blend more. Next time I will also go with less opaque brush strokes!
As for Bob Ross, didn't know the guy but couldn't resist the temptation. Genius!

Yeah, everybody!

Had very little time in these few days, but I managed to make another sketch.
This one was hand drawn with pencil on paper, and then scanned and converted to brush.
Still working on the coloring technique, but I like the result. Real pencil adds a certain "something" to the result, I think!
Sorry for the unzoomable size, but this was just a quick test!

Thank you guys! I'm now busy drawing mountains pencil-on-paper style. If I come out with something worth sharing, I may think about releasing a brush set!

Pencil's fun, but it makes me miss having a white paintbrush

Hmm... perhaps I'd share your feelings if I knew how to use a paintbrush!Originally Posted by Gidde

hehe...i think he means when you use a pencil instead of photoshop you cant make quick corrections like you can by switching to the white paintbrush. I too miss the ease of making quick corrections on the digital medium when using pencil and paper. Photoshop is pretty much all i use now to do sketching and concepts. unless im not at my computer and i get a sudden urge of inspiration.

Oh. Oh, that makes even more sense now. I feel so stupid!
Well, I do agree that using photoshop is better, especially for the UNDO function. But, I don't know why, when I work directly on digital I can't get a convincing hand drawn effect (small strokes, hatches and so on).
Should I try playing with brush settings, perhaps?
Oh, well, while I'm at it, I post another update. I'm very happy with this last result!
Please note the parchment background. It's done with the famous coffee-and-oven photoshop effect!
