Since doing these tutorials, I've gotten more confident with using Adobe Photoshop but I need a lot more practice. I have a lot more to learn if I want to use it efficiently. I was resistant because I really like to draw with pen and paper. I'm learning and getting better with Photoshop, but I think I will always like to use a pen and tablet better.
In photoshop, I learned how to draw a tree without using a pen and tablet. Instead, I used a mouse which I found to be considerably harder. Trees are natural objects so they have a natural movement to them. It's harder to capture with a mouse. However, if you stylize you artwork and use some the curved features and pen tools it becomes easier. The free transform tool is also very helpful for resizing an image or changing the perspective. This tool allows you to freely move pieces of the artwork around and to mold the shapes. I also learned how to use the dodge and burn tools. These tools are used to lighten or darken an image. These are pretty useful for shading and I will probably use them a lot. I've learned that using the keyboard shortcuts are really useful and quick, for example Control + Z is an undo feature.
