Well hello, im new to the whole thing of digital painting and all. I have been using photoshop for nearly two years now but using it for graphics design and not for digital painting.

Recently i have received a Wacom Intous 2 tablet for Visual Arts, i am in Year 11, live in Australia and in about 4 months will be starting my major project which will be about people; relationship emotions and well i have hoped that i will be able to digipaint them on photoshop.

I have tried using the tablet, it seems a couple of years old and it is very hard to use in my opinion. Therefore i was wondering if i could get some help regarding what settings to use, what brushes, some hints on how to draw online and how to colour.
I know that there are tutorials and i have been viewing them but it is still helpful when people comment themselves.

Thank you.
George.
