I have no idea how to, for instance, switch layers. Or adjust the size of any of these tools.

I got a tablet as a gift recently, and was directed here. I've got experience with digital art, but have only a pasing familiarity with Oekaki (read: only looked at other people's finished stuff).

Have...Have I seen something like this before? Have you done other things somewhere else, because these look familiar.

1. You click or click and drag here to change to size of your tool. lol.
2. You click here to bring up the layer options.

Drag and drop layers to switch place. Right click on layer to set multiply or screen. You can change opacity by dragging the colored bar on the layer.
To use Tablet Pressure, download and install this:
http://sketchstudio.cellosoft.com/
And press the P button in the top right corner of the canvas. On the pressure menu, the top slider sets alpha smoothing, and the bottom sets max pen size.

Under the pen tool menu, you have several tools. Click several times on the icon or click and hold to change tool. Most other tool buttons have different options as well. You can use some keyboard commands, like B for brush, E for eraser, ctrl+Z to undo like usual and hold space to move the canvas around(mostly in zoom mode).

That's kinda it I guess.

So, slightly more like this, no? I think I tried a bit of everything in there. That link was particularly helpful.

Awesome. Thanks for your help guys--I've got the gist, and it is ripe and firm.

There you go. Also, you have an opacity slider underneath the RGB meters. It's set to 180 as default for the Pen tool, so if you want non-opaque paint for smooth lineart or painting, set it to 255.

>non-opaque paint for smooth lineart
you mean OPAQUE. non-opaque would be something that is not thick and not-not-able to see through

Yes. I wasn't sure, and too lazy to look it up. Opacity - 100% opaque. Of course.

Why so there is! Awesome, awesome.

Alright, so there's only one more thing I really don't get, and then I'll actually start drawing interesting stuff: so I can alter other pictures posted in the same thread by simply choosing that specific post from the drop down that normally says "New Image?" For clarification purposes.

And how exactly does the temporary image thing work? I accidentally navigated away from my picture once, and I went right back and it was still there. What's that based on though? i.e. what are the limits and regulations of it? Is there a limit to how long the temp is stored? And there seems to be some trick to using the feature to reset the animation timer...

Anyway. Thanks for all the help guys. I honestly didn't expect help like this, coming in.

Yes.

>And how exactly does the temporary image thing work?
Generally it works from your last saved penstroke(it saves automatically), but it doesn't always work. Sometimes the timer resets if you go back, sometimes not. I don't know there is a "trick". Still, make regular screenshots to be on the safe side.

the temp i believe is stored in your browser, so closing your browser entirely will probably wipe the pic (though i think it depends on your cookie/history/etc settings).

to cheat the timer you can refresh the page and load the temp file mentioned earlier.

Mask and Reverse (otherwise called Remask) are useful features. There's two ways you can get to it, pic related. Also, there's a slight difference in the terms in Pro because of translation error.

Change the Mask/Remask/Reverse color by choosing it, then right clicking on the box for Normal, just clicking for Pro. If it's on Mask/ON, you can draw anywhere except for that color and it's opaques. (a semitransparent 255 255 0 will not be drawn on if it's set as the color, etc) Remask/Reverse does the opposite- only that color and its opaques can be drawn on.

Hope it's useful. It doesn't work with watercolors, pen, airbrush etc, well though.
