Need help badly

[Pigler]

Hello guys, just wanted to see if I can get some help.

Okay, this is pissing me off.

I can't smudge, and when I find a nice tut, boom, something goes wrong.

I have the SAME brush, same settings, yet my smudge a) Doesnt work on 100% Power
d) Works extremelly powerfully on lower opacity, wtf?
c) Isn't looking like the tutorial at ALL, just looks like a bad motion blur
d) I used a different brush, smudged, sharpened and I got somewhere close, but nothing near the quality or the good flow of the tutorial
e) Oh and, at 100% Power it only works to the left, then its really powerful like a extremelly powerful motion blur, but only to the left

What am I doing wrong? :|

It's not always going to look like the tutorial all the time.

[Pigler]

Nono, it looks umm. Sec I'll post a example.

The soft, even though not what I want smudge is 50% strenght. The rest is 100% strenght. And the one in the black square, thats 100% trying to smudge upwards. WAY off, and its IMPOSSIBLE to get smudge like that out of this.

Not quite sure what that means.

I got help from a friend, he told me to spam press the mouse button while smudging slowly, it worked (that was the problem). Here's what I got:



Thanks for helping (or trying) guys ;D (and girls)

Having to spam the mouse while smudging isn't right, you shouldn't have to do that. o.O

As in, small, quick strokes :P Watcha think about the outcome?

[Fork]

The smudging is bland and is all going in one direction so it's pretty boring. There is more to smudging then just diagonal strokes. Also sharpen the smudge a bit.
