NinjaManDan21 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Are there any watercolor effect plugins or plugins that aid in the watercoloring process? I looked in the Plugin Index and searched multiple times but it turned up nothing. Quote Sig Battle Wins: 5My Gallery | Smoke>Flames Tutorial~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

pdnnoob Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) that's what the search bar is for EDIT: make sure you read the whole thread before using the plugin. It isn't very long, and it is definitely worth reading if you wish for a better result than the plugin gives by itself.

NinjaManDan21 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Okay well no effects are doing the trick, so is there a way to use the paint.net brush for watercoloring (like from scratch) cause I tried custom brushes mini ,but that doesn't work since it drags an image either like a stamp, or as a solid non-watercolor stroke.

delpart Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) (Thinking out loud) The short answer is: No. Even with some of the other programs geared to this sort of direct draw input, watercolor is a really hard thing to re-create. Even with PS, you're talking about a lot of hours to learn to use the brushes to create that effect. Especially if you're wishing to convert an image ... Using an outlining approach (manually) with varying transparency and then coming back and using combinations of dents and blurs can hammer the effect into place, but it requires about 1000 more steps than needed. At least from what I've seen, if you need that level of specific control you will have to consider pre-processing the image using something else first. Then finalizing the rest of the adjustments in PDN ... (disclaimer: an aunt of mine did watercolor for a living and she's griped about doing it digitially for about 10 years and basically gave up on the idea, so I may be a bit jaded on this one) Edited January 28, 2012 by delpart Quote *** Gallery at PDN-Fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance McKnight Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I think this tutorial is a close way to duplicate a watercolor picture. One step might be tricky, but I think it can be done.
