Shortcuts & tools that are used in this tutorial:

(H) – Pan – Allows you to use the hand to pan across your drawing.

*(J) – Healing Brush Tool – In this tutorial we use this tool for blending areas of varying tone and removing minor blemishes. Remember to use the alt + left click to sample an area of your drawing in order to use the tool. Your sample area should be close to the area you are blending, but not always necessary.

(S) – Clone Stamp Tool – In this tutorial we use this tool to recreate large areas of the drawing and then blend away areas that have high contrast with the Healing Brush Tool to make the image look natural. Remember to use the alt + left click to sample an area of your drawing in order to use the tool. Your sample area should be close to the area you are blending, but not always necessary.

(CTRL +) – Zoom In Incrementally

(CTRL -) - Zoom Out Incrementally

*TIME SAVING TIP – Sometimes you need to hold the shift key while using a shortcut key to cycle through the different tools that are grouped together under the same pallette. For instance the Spot Healing Brush Tool is the default tool selected when pressing J shortcut key. In order to select the Healing Brush Tool, press Shift + J to cycle through different tools.
