It works by putting more pressure on it not by going over it again. If you go over it again in the same stroke (without playing with the pressure) ps assumes you're just going over parts you missed before, so it won't add to what you have allready, only color more blank area.

hmm... does that mean that there's no way to do it at all?

BTW. could you tell me what effect the airbrush setting has on the brush?

Thanks. :)

As far as i know not, but maybe someone else might know.

The airbrush setting:

' The airbrush tool works more like a traditional airbrush or spray paint. Its shortcut key is J. The airbrush puts paint on a bit lighter than the paintbrush tool, but when you hold your mouse button down without moving the cursor, the paint builds up just like it would if you were to hold the nozzle down on a can of spraypaint. Fortunately, with digital spraypaint, we don't have to worry about it dripping down the front of our document if it gets too thick. :-) Instead of adjusting the opacity for the airbrush tool, you set the pressure. The higher the pressure is set, the thicker your paint will go on. The airbrush is especially useful for painting subtle shading and highlights. With a pressure-sensitive tablet, you can really get exceptional control with the airbrush tool.'

this link is where the text comes from and it will show you the difference:

Hope it helps...

Thanks a lot Witam. I really appreciate all your help.

I found out what was wrong with my airbrush. The opacity was at 20% instead of 100%. Now it's working as I though it should do.

I feel really stupid now. LOL

I just looked at your web site. You're a really good artist. Do you have a DeviantArt page?
