Yes and no. 😉 Have a look at the blue heaven and the roofs: All roofs are clearly separated from the blue heaven. If you would use real water colors, the red and green colors would more mix and merge with the blue in the heaven. And there wouldn’t be such exact lines. 🤔 I guess most people expect from water color pictures like this: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-f5rHPLxCcI/maxresdefault.jpg "Simple Water Color landscape For beginners by Paintlane") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f5rHPLxCcI) even if you can paint exact lines like in your picture. ---

I see… otoh, I wouldn’t like to play an adventure game with that background… it’s too stylized. I don’t know. I mean, having part of the background with such low detail is fine in art, but as a game I’m not sure… ---

I found a different watercolor style here: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/NyJIHd6xFEA/maxresdefault.jpg "Landscape Watercolor - House with trees (sketch & coloring, Arches rough) NAMIL ART") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyJIHd6xFEA&t=8s) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FwXkNQDCUmI/maxresdefault.jpg "Basic Landscape Watercolor - Farm Scenery (sketch & color mixing process) NAMIL ART") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwXkNQDCUmI) That’s more literal.

I think I get the principle. In a scene from above , where you can walk everywhere, it’s difficult to apply, though. It would be weird to walk next to a tree with such little detail… if my game was isometric, everything would have to be detailed. I 'll try to employ that principle in other rooms. ---

Haha, I think I know why. I brought up this particular panel a couple of times here. But the version I read isn´t the right hand one so I got no reason to complain. I prefer the original too but also because I prefer that less shaded style in general because that is what comics looked like when I was growing up (the latter seems to be kinda the standard these days, The Boys looked like this from the beginning). I however have a few ones that were originally in black and white that were coloured later and somehow always prefer the coloured version (unless it´s something like Maus. Never colour Maus). ---

Good! I found a good painting program, it’s called ArtRage. It was painful to paint with photoshop, now it’s fun. Recommended! ---

> [@seguso](#): > > ArtRage Hooray! 🙂 Makes sense, something like Krita or ArtRage is made for it. On Photoshop it’s effectively a later addition. Supposedly it works great but unlike Krita I could never quite figure it out. ---

Krita doesn’t mix colors like this , AFAIK [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/6uM178pUG_U/maxresdefault.jpg "artrage oil color mixing") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uM178pUG_U) I wish it did… I also tried Rebelle and Fresco. Rebelle comes close, but has a strange pressure-sensitive way of mixing. Fresco is very cumbersome to change the mixing amount and pick colors, and the brushes look very fuzzy. the photoshop mixer brush is nothing like this, also. ---

Looks the same as [Color Smudge Brush Engine — Krita Manual 4.4.0 documentation](https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/brushes/brush_engines/color_smudge_engine.html#color-smudge-brush-engine) but I might be missing something. But I wasn’t suggesting you use Krita instead of ArtRage. I was simply agreeing that Photoshop seems a bit harder to use for this purpose. ---
