Just wondering what you think of using the blob brush for the painting/coloring. Is there a reason you prefer the pencil?

The process is no different in CS6.

This one maybe a smidge longer given that I took the screen shots and documented my process as I made it.

I have really developed my technique based on these methods– I do a lot of “watercolor” renderings of architectural drawings and I use your methods. My client loves them. (Here’s one for you to check out http://i.imgur.com/68Ud8.jpg?1 )

I recently upgraded to CS6 and notice that you can no longer assign a default transparency to paths. I still use this technique, but everything comes out opaque and I have to “Ctrl-A” frequently and select my desired transparency. Have you upgraded and found a workaround for this? I CAN set my layer transparency, but of course I don’t get the effect of overlapping paths! Any thoughts are appreciated, but ultimately this technique still works great!

Everything is super easy to follow. Creating “hand done” styled art digitally is super impressive, and an art form in itself! Nice work.
