thanks and... thanks !

Waah, wha, waahh... how, when, yessss!!! That's what I'm talking about, Ka-Z! Ha, I'm so excited! This is getting seriously stunning here. I don't understand how I could've been missing all this, but here we go! Brilliant!

Well, tips, hmmm...I think I'll be waiting for you to give us tips!
I'm sure you went through the docs, right? ...I never really do unless I'm desperate, but once a tool gets exciting, I actually take my time to see, if there's something I was missing.

The good thing in Verve is, you don't have too many features that could be hiding. The bad thing is, it's far from being done and new things will sneak in sooner than later.

Things to consider for kicks:
[p] to change background color to currently selected color
[l] to change light color...
[shift]+[l] to change ambient color...
[shift]+[cursor keys] to move the light around over the canvas
[shift]+[page up/down] to move the light towards and away from the canvas

You can control the glossiness of your paint with the layer interface dials, but you can even go negative, adding harsh black outlines, which you can finetune with diffuse and moving the lightsource around.

If you smudge [shift], you engage the smudge chroma, if you have it up. But if you use average [shift]+[ctrl] it does a traditional digital blend of all colors beneath the brush, giving you some extra control over what happens to the colors, like knocking them back, if it gets too saturated or weird.

Don't forget the brush bias and actually all brush bristle settings. They can work wonders.

I dunno... I'll add some secret features only so I can tell you something you may not know, HAHAHA!
Fantastic stuff, you're really getting me excited some more!

yes

no, a super badass killer!
And must have seven lives for see all his videos!

and for Taron for remember shortcuts!

Thanks so much!
This is exactly the compromised information I needed.
Thanks a lot again. Should be sticky as a quick guide.

Thanks Ka-Z ! Your advices are pure gold and your paintings are fantastics !

here's a little doodle, experimenting lights and stuffs
I made a PS edit for push the light further.

I definitly miss a burn/dodge tool in Verve ahah :p

morning doodle ^^

AH YES, my god, burn and dodge was the whole anchorage of "Canvarion", the painter drpetter and I had started some years ago now. So, yeah, I'll reintroduce it soon!
I love the collapsed Santa Claus without his wig!
The other one I just don't quite get, but hey... go nuts!
