Trust me
Hi everyone, here's a sketch of Alan that I did.
I was thinking specifically of the description of Alan looking so nice and trustworthy that you don't register that he's carrying a gun, but I can't find it :(.

The way I work with layers tends to be cumulative. So, from the bottom up you have the base layer, background, maybe another background depending on what the space looks like, base figures, optional second figure layer, depending of level of detail, line art, detail that covers the line like highlights, and finally a guides layer that won't be in the final image. When I first tried playing around with Painter, which was about eight years ago now (christ I'm old), it didn't have layers at all, as even an option. It was horrible, and kind of took away the point of working digitally. But, Painter's come a long way since then.
I work at 300-350 dpi whether in Painter or PS. Occasionally I'll scan higher, but that has more to do with my scanner being screw than anything else. I've never actually needed anything to be a higher res than that.
As for brushes, I have about ten favorites that I use for most things, from a variety of media. The ones I actively avoid are the watercolors and the ink one that counts as a wet media and does weird things to the layer. For general painting purposes I like the acrylics and the oils the best. You can adjust the settings on all of the brushes quite a bit under Window->Show Brush Creator.
Ok, I found an image where I was really picky about having every step on a different layer, but this comment's getting a bit long, so I think I'll break it up.
