Keep on sketching & 'Whole View' Window

February went too quickly.  On the last day of Feb, we took a day off and visited some friends in Tai Po, Hong Kong.  We also took the chance to get some inspiration for  sample sketches.  

Now with "Whole View" window, you can always check the overall balance (thanks to a user from Japan for his feedback).  You can reposition and resize the  "Whole View" window to suit your need.

Expresii Lite  forces us to draw in only one single color. We have to rely on positive and negative texture  to create  value variation.  Expresii's eraser is your friend for negative texture!

Check out the loose, textured lines.  Expresii is really  the best digital tool such organic marks! Expresii' brushes are best paired with tilt-sensing stylus, such as Wacom's latest Intous Pro line or their earlier professional Intuos like the Intous 3. With tilt sensing, we can use the side-brush technique  for more variation in the lines.

[Update March 6]:  Download this artwork file from this page  and load it into your copy of Expresii Lite to see it for yourself!

 Zoom in to do the details and use the "Whole View" window to check the overall look. 

If it's not for the recent nvidia driver  issue with Expresii, we'd have made  an announcement to call for more artists to try Expresii Lite preview.  We notified nvidia  about the issue but we never hear back from them.  Hopefully this could be resolved soon. If you're an nvidia GPU user and you can't  wait,  you can still enjoy Expresii Lite by using an nvidia driver version 345 or earlier.  If you're *not* using an nvidia GPU , great, just download Expresii Lite Preview  and try it (and give us some feedback)!

Expresii Lite is something waiting to be discovered.  Try it yourself to see why early adopters are saying that it's the most organic among all the tools they've ever used!

Finally, we wish you a  happy and prosperous  Year of the Goat  2015 !
