  1. There are about 3 links that don't seem to work for me. I can't seem to know why for example the house. Even the link that Henk posted doesn't work for me. Very confused and worried as I have to finish a project.

    1. Hi Jules,

      After you've finished drawing with pen, just right click on the draw path and choose Fill Path, you should be able to fill with drawing path with the color in the tutorial provided.

      Also, the red color in the layer mask is just a sample for better visual view, its actually the black color you use when masking.

      Let me know if there's anything more you want to know, contact me via my email : [email protected].

      Best,

      Antaka

  16. It seems like you forgot to include the Witch House in the tutorial resources.

    Thanks for all the great tutorials!
