PD Howler 10 Basic tutorial and beginners guide

[dac63]

It's been years since I had a good digital paint program, I think the last was Corel back in the early 2000s. But I want to get back into it and saw PD Howler 10 on sale and the reviews look good.

Let's just say that things have come a long way in the last 15 years, with all the options it's hard to know where to start getting a handle on this gem. I know there are 100s of tutorial videos, but they all seem pretty specific and a little advanced to someone who isn't familiar at all with PD Howler.

Is there a basic tutorial that starts off on the ground and doesn't have such a steep learning curve. I'll get to the more powerful stuff in time, I'm just looking for something basic to build a solid foundation on, either a PDF manual or really basic tutorials.

Thanks.

The easiest way is to buy PD Particles too. It's super cheap and it's a stripped version of PD Howler, so you have to focus on less stuff. The keyboard shortcuts are the same, too.
