nice technique :+1:

You’re welcome, Fouad.

:qu: Anyone: I thought about a way to create a custom colored paper and use a duplicate to 'erase back to' with the cloner brush. Is there a way to use the cloner brush to erase at a given spot on one layer and reveal the same spot on a second layer?

The problem I ran into trying this was that the second layer would be cloned to the first, but the top-left corner of the second layer would become the starting point for the clone. Therefore, the ‘background’ layer can only be used to ‘erase’ from the foreground layer if you are careful to start your stroke at the top-left corner of the foreground layer.

Here is a script to demonstrate my ‘problem’:

Hi Jay
Your script Sketchsetup don’t work on the 1.23B !
The loading is a “real” loading text :slight_smile:
Some adjustment should be neccessary for mix the new and old version :slight_smile:

Hi Jay,

Your script works well for me and is fun to use. It’s a great script and I enjoy this kind of sketching.

I made a script a while ago that shows a technique for blending two different layers with the cloner brush. It’s very longwinded and uses a bad visual example, but near the end it shows some things about two layers and the cloner brush like you were asking about. Maybe it will help you. :slight_smile:

This is great Jay! If you come up with variations on this technique be sure to post them.

Zoid: I’ll be checking into your script, but I was at Six Flags over Texas all day today riding the Titan.

I did sort of fix the script for 1.23b users. Unfortunately, there is a problem that appears to be unfixable by simply editing the recording. I will have to do a different demonstration recording in 1.23b.

Here is the 1.23b version:

This is a drawing I did in an attempt to create a demonstration drawing for 1.23b. I recorded a script of this in 1.23b, but it does not play back all the way through, and it leaves out steps along the way. I also played it in 1.51, and it leaves out different steps along the way. (Bugs?)

Thanks sooo much for this setup and script! I’ve been playing alot with it… but alas my skills as an artist is limited.

Here is my first “real” try at it; All done in zbush except conversion and sig.

Edit: Looks like there is fog, but no fog was on; where did I go wrong?

Great tiger Wenna!!! :+1:
Maybe you still have stencil visible, turn the stencil visibility off and you´ll have your problem solved.

#24

Yes, it looks just like it would if the stencil were visible.

Great tiger! :+1:
