How do you make those huge buildings have so many accurate windows? Surely it is not done by freehand.

superamiuniverse:

Well heres what you do.

Make a rectangle, copy it over to the side so it’s like another window.

Now copy those and put them to the side so it’s like 4 windows in a row.

Now do that again so now you have 8 windows

Now do the same thing only downwards and keep going until you have a nice selection of windows.

Tadaaa~

Now from there, I use the distort tool, I set the layer mode to Screen, make all the windows black, and then just colour in the spots where lights should be on.
