revised tanzanite and moonstone (again), and gave moon some sisters 🌙

New Kyanite Reference Sheet!

What’s changed: Proportions were balanced (this is the biggest thing that I wanted to change) Colors adjusted (more cyan in tone vs blue/purple, created more contrast) Some extra details removed or simplified

As always, I’m open to critique. Let me know if you think the changes I made were actually an improvement or if there are a few things I can still stand to tweek (click on the picture for a clearer look).

Thanks for following ~

And New Quick Ref Done.

It’s actually a USB numpad that I reprogrammed to use as a Photoshop  hotkey/shortcut pad! There’s an entire tutorial here on how to do it. 

But I ended up doing this because with the way my work area is set up, it’s much easier to have all my shortcuts close to my left hand while I’m drawing with my right hand, instead of having to reach over to use the keyboard.

I bought the numpad at my local computer store on clearance for $6 (regular price was $10) and the sticker paper for $4 at Wal-Mart (it’s actually 8.5″ x 11″ shipping labels). The tutorial I provided above already has everything you need to make one of these keypads yourself, including the sticker files, so it only cost me $10 to make mine. Compare that to the brand name programmable hotkey pads (like X-Keys) that cost $100+!! 

It’s very useful and I highly recommend doing it if you find yourself frustrated with your work station (like having to reach over your tablet for your keyboard).
