I think the video skipped the step where you need to turn the image into a pixel layer (I was stuck for a little while with a live brush that wouldn't brush lol). To turn on the pixel layer, select the image layer and tap on the three dots to the right of the layers. Near the bottom of the list, choose Convert to pixel layer. You should now be able to paint using the transparent live brush picking up the color from the photo. Hope this helps anyone else who was stuck.

It was there just brief when he 1st did it the program asked about converting to pixel layer and he clicked yes... hopefully, that helps

I use adobe fresco for all of my illustrations and so far it’s been a great experience.I haven’t upgraded yet but the number of preset brushes are pretty great.What came of as a surprise isthat I have been using the same techniques as on real canvas sheet and the results are similar. Not disappointed at all😍😍

There are a lot of Adobe haters out there (for good reason). I think the $9.99 a month price tag for Adobe Fresco is ludicrous. However you showed here, it can be harnessed to do some great things already. Thank you very much for this. I have an Adobe subscription plan, the only reason I would try out Fresco. Love the live and vector brushes but as a whole it is not a well developed program yet. My wish is Adobe comes down to earth and provides this for a reasonable fee like Procreate. Or Procreate adds live brushes via Procreate 6. But your video is great to think of using Fresco creatively as we now have it. Those live brushes are killer.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm a composer with a focus on film and tv music, and I've been wanting to create some film related pieces to have printed on canvas for decorating my music studio. When I saw the preview image, I instantly knew this was the style I wanted to go for. Time to open Fresco and give this a try!

I've got a puzzle for you. I hope you can help. I'm writing a graphic memoir and I finished my script, but I am trying to be very time efficient. I wanted to import my dialogue in balloons shapes from Word into Fresco, and then be able to move them around, so I can then do the thumbnail sketches on Fresco, so I can eventually export it to Photoshop & Illustrator to finish the panels, and then into InDesign. Do you think there is a way to do this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
