When using a mouse, the flow would probably be a good option. I haven’t painted with a mouse in years, I love my Wacom too much. I know some people also do more with flow on their Wacom, I personally like to use opacity and pen pressure, I dunno, I just feel I have better control this way and its more like a pencil, flow feels more like a marker to me. I was always good with a pencil, but suck with markers 🙂 It’s all about what works best for you personally.

I, too, use the brush, rather than the dodge and burn tools. But, I had seen a tutorial way back when where the author suggested reducing the Flow, rather than the Opacity of your brush. His logic was that you can change the opacity in the layers panel, if need be. Also, the way the brush strokes ‘build’ up differently with opacity from flow. I only use a mouse, so, I wouldn’t have that opacity setting. But, with opacity, don’t new strokes build up ONLY to the limits of the percentage and flow continuously builds up to 100%? I may have that backwards. What I am curious about is, in dodging and burning, would you want there to be a limit on the opacity, rather than using flow that continuously builds up?
I hope that made sense! LOL
I have wanted to learn how to do this adding depth stuff for such a long time! THANK YOU! This was great! Maybe I can get the Premium version soon. I still need to work on cast shadows and other shadows, but, I had not ever seen a tutorial where the person shows one how to shade the scene for depth! I am happy, now! LOL
Thanks, Again,
Su

Thanks for your comment. I agree, you have to play with settings and find what works for you. Some people may need to go a little heavier than 30% and some a bit lighter, depending on how you work.

People are usually turned off by the default settings with the dodge & burn tools, so your approach is a big improvement.
