I decided to look at more tutorials on Photoshop to improve my knowledge of Photoshop.
This video shows how an artists starts off her ideas for her own character designs -surprisingly it's how i do it. She does this by doodling a lot and if she starts to like the character from the doodle she will then stick to the design and perfect it.
I have also learnt some very nice new cool tricks for example if u pick a certain paintbrush the softness of the line changes depending on how hard you push down.
