done only using the pen tool, and messing with opacity. Pen pressure was on for both opacity and size.

The only exception was when it came to the reflection in the eye. I did that by taking a big white dot, and smudging it a lot, and then adding a few more white dots (on a layer above the eye)

don't worry about the fur on the last part, that was just for fun and wasn't necessarily part of the tutorial.

I don't always do eyes like this, but sometimes I do. I know when I do you guys always say 'love the eyes!' or something along those lines, so I figure I'll make a tutorial. it's easy enough :>

Woah....

<333 it's not too hard, you can do it!

[Lucy.]

It looks hard to me :O

[Panacea]

I might have to try this^^
Oh and I have one quick question--you mentioned something about pen pressure. My stylus is supposed to have it and it does work on another program I use. Is there supposed to be a way for me to activate it using the Oekaki or does it automatically adjust the pen pressure on it's own? Sorry for this long and complicated question xP if you don't know what I'm talking about its cool, and I'll just have to ask someone else x3

[KinqBoo]

Yeah, hah.

How do you put pen pressure with opacity?
I can not figure it out Dx

[Schnuchi]

Oh that's very good, i want to do it as good as you, hehe!

The shine on the outside of the eye
is a nice touch :3

it's actually the simplest way I've come across, so I highly recommend playing around with it. It's easier than it looks, once you get the hang of it.

Well, you have to download and install the jtablet plugin linked above.
then, pick the pencil tool. it automatically sets opacity to pen pressure. A large circle next to the 'opacity' bar in the brush window should be filled in. When the circles next to the bars are filled in, pen pressure is set. when it is not filled in,

download and install that, and it should work.

then, pick the pencil tool. it automatically sets opacity to pen pressure. A large circle next to the 'opacity' bar in the brush window should be filled in. When the circles next to the bars are filled in, pen pressure is set. when it is not filled in, pen pressure is off. Go pack to the pen tool with that new knowledge, and tap both circles next to size and opacity with your pen to 'click' on them and that triggers pen pressure on both size and opacity. Hope that was a good enough explanation!

Thank you! it's good to use reds instead of a gray, it makes it look more realistic. Plus the more colors in your piece, the better.
