Sorry that is a HUUUGE file. You can download it, too.
If you are having any problems or have a question, tell me! I can try to help. REMEMBER: This is NOT the only way to do things on opencanvas, it's merely the basics of what I do; DO check out other tutorials people have made, they are seriously amazing and superior compared to the likes of this here tutorial. DO come up with your own techniques to make your art scream your name all over it. DO experiment with the tools. Some Questionsfor your convenience and mine lol Is Opencanvas 1.1 available for Apple computers/Mac? Not that I know of, unfortunately. You can try the newer versions of OC, though. Do I have to pay for Opencanvas 1.1? Is it a trial? No; this version of opencanvas is completely free. No; you can download this program and have it forever on your computer unless you uninstall it. How come everything is written in weird symbols? It should appear as Japanese if you have the language pack installed on your computer or something. To switch to english, go to the top of the taskbar, go to the very last drop down list (H) and at the bottom it will say English (E). How can I add a background without the colors getting all weird/dark? I think I mentioned that somewhere here, maybe not. Since the layer is autoamtically set to multiply, you'll either have to put the background on a new layer and ERASE parts of the background where it OVERLAPS the coloring on your other layer, OR you can just do the background on the same layer as all your other coloring. What is OCing/networking, and how do I do that? Networking on Opencanvas 1.1 is a bit like paintchat, only it's private and can only have a maximum of 4 occupants. You draw on your own individual layers, but share the same canvas with others, so you can see everyone drawing. Found a tutorial on how to set that up here. Can I use this tutorial for [insert program here] ? You can, but obviously you might have to tweak a few things since programs are different, but I don't see why you can't copy a technique from opencanvas to use for photoshop or whatever, so try it. How do I blend? Assuming you are using a tablet, pretend it is like pencil and paper. The harder you press, the darker the pencil mark; the lighter you press, the lighter the pencil mark. Apply this to your tablet and mess around with it.

And I LOVEEE that picture. Now we know the updated PICHUSSECRETWEAPONONSEXYART. Hell yeah. Unfortunately, Opencanvas doesn't work on the Mac and one of my dad's workers is always on the PC upstairs, so, alas, I cannot find time to use it -- There was once a billygoat named Clifford, and he lived in an orange peel... LOL bunny noses! thats sooo adorable!! (and helpful) I have to say I'm pro anything celsius. this makes me want to use open canvas.
