Art tutorials

long time without a tutorial… I tried to explain my general process of working here, hope someone will find it useful :)

This is a hair colouring tutorial that I based my hair colouring off of! (Art by rosuuri)

i made this to help out someone who was having trouble with palettes and picking colors! maybe it’ll help you guys out too (I hope so anyway)

The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.

step by step explanation of  this

I see this mistake EVERYWHERE and it drives me BONKERS. If you’re drawing something really graphic, this rule does not apply. But if the body is anatomically realistic, the hand shouldn’t be a roll of sausages.

And I found this very helpful just by looking at it. I was never good at coloring gold.

List of tutorials that helped me with environmental painting: “How to make your own Perspective Grid in PS” <—- this one is the best thing I’ve ever discovered. Srsly CHECK IT OOOOUUUUT! Snuffen’s Background Tutorial P1More or less ALL tutorials by Griffsnuff is awesome, so make sure to check out the rest of them! More or less ALL tutorials made by AquaSixio! List of youtube channels that also helped and inspired me: FZDSCHOOL - More or less one of the most known concept art-related resources I know on youtube. It’s great to sit and draw and just listen to the talking. SinixDesign- This guy is also great! He has some design workshops ever now and then where the viewers can send in their stuff for critique! very encouraging and inspiring! moatddtutorials- This guy is more into drawing than painting, and has a more cartoony style. He has interesting methods when it comes to perspective. And he also challenge himself in some of his videos (the engine block video is a great example of this) foxOrian- Also known here on dA for his awesome perspective and composition tutorials. He has a youtube channel where he posts some videos that might be interesting as well.

Let me know if you have questions!!!

Practicing metal painting and textures.

When something doesn’t look right, but you can’t figure out why, make a copy of your layer and try some of these tricks.  Staring too long at a piece without breaks is often where I “kill” a piece and lose scope of the work as a whole.  Thanks to letsplaygods for the supersaturate trick.
