Tonight I will be presenting at the Salt Lake City Adobe User Group on using a graphics tablet to create illustrations and paintings in Photoshop.  This is something I’ve just started to experiment with but I’m having a lot of fun with it and will be sharing some of the tips I’ve picked up.

There are a few files I have available for download that go along with my presentation:

Photoshop Brush Set (35MB) - This is a combination of the BittBox High-Res Watercolor Brush set and some modifications/additions I made.

Shortcuts for Photoshop Illustration - This is a PDF file with some of the keyboard shortcuts that I have found useful while using a graphics tablet.

Also - I’ll be mentioning these two About.com links on graphics tablets:

Chuck Keeler will also be presenting on using Photoshop and a graphics tablet to paint Google Sketchup models.
