Tuesday Adventures in Painter X

Just trying out a new style in Painter X~
Up until now, I've really been a Photoshop kinda gal. The tools are pretty straight-forward and it does just about everything I need for it to do (with all the fancy filters to boot!)
Painter is an enigma for me. There's so many tools/brushes/functions to customize I'm never quite sure just where to start from. Thankfully, I had been directed to a few good tutorials by Peach Fuzz' Lindsay Cibos. (Web tutorials are in the right-hand column~)
I'm currently trying out Jared's custom variant Ball-Point Pen brush and it works really well for smooth and clean lines when digitally inking. I've also been testing it out with flat colors and it works nicely - as seen with today's sketch~ :D
So far, I find my lines in Painter are much more natural and cleaner. I have to work at least 50% in Photoshop to get similar lines (without the jagged edges) and still have to do some clean up. Future illos will definitely be inked in Painter! :D
Now I just have to figure out how to get a sharpened flat eraser stroke in Painter and save it to my hotkey. (At lower pressures it has a soft blur effect... TwT;)
