So as some of you have noticed I've been going through a coloring crisis of late. I've never been particularly happy with how my final images come out but I'm always trying. I've been through tutorial after tutorial. Most of them say the same thing "go with what feels 'right', work big, and blend" The thing that's always irritated me is if I go with "what feels right" I wouldn't need a stupid tutorial. Usually they'd say "work as big as your computer can handle" well that never helped me because my computer couldn't seem to handle more than an 8x10. I figured that must be what these people are working at and I'm just shitty at this. I just received Loish's art book for Christmas (it's beautiful, go pick it up) and she actually gives a working size of 10000 x 7000 pixels (at 300dpi). Well I tried that and I kept getting issues, which I couldn't help but think "there's no way everyone else in the world can work big and mine will crash". Then I frickin realized it wasn't my computer that was the lag problem it was my tablet! You can set your photoshop settings to compensate for the lag by going to preferences>performance>advanced settings>basic. No more lag! I've been working in digital for 10 fucking years and it's taken this long to get anything remotely like what I've always wanted. I felt the need to share in the event that someone else was also having problems. Also, I finally decided to take Loish's advice and work on 1 or two layers...which I always thought was crazy and this was by far the easiest picture I've worked on in ages!

long story short, go buy Loish's book, it's a gem.
