Transform Functions | Where to use them

April 2021
Tips of the Month
Thank you for your posts!
The creators below, who posted their TIPS of the Month between April 1 and May 1, 2021, will be awarded a cash prize or GOLD!
The themes for the 24th round were How to Draw Landscapes, Using Transform Functions, and Coloring Comics. The way the creators used digital timesavers, like the selection tool and layers, to create pieces that looked like they were made in traditional media, was impressive in the tutorials demonstrating How to Draw Landscapes. There were lots of TIPS making use of the transform tool, which only exists digitally, to improve the quality of the work rather than save time, which was interesting! The Coloring Comics theme featured a wide range of works from comics to webtoons and manga, introducing color palettes, coloring techniques, and tool settings for effective coloring. We’re now looking for submissions on new themes! We look forward to seeing your Tips!
