np :B i hope it helps

Yeah it'll help tremendously. My traditional paint work is alot more sound than my digital stuff. For whatever reason i'm having a hard time transferring my modest set of knowledge and skills from traditional to digital painting. Nevertheless, this looks like it will help, even just to see what another artist's process is like. Always good to get a different perspective on things.

Once again thanks dude, you're swell.

A lot of traditional skills transfer over to digital; its just about getting used to painting on a tablet, the types of motions you make with your pen (brush), how to dab with it, all that jazz. :B

Indeed. Which I'm still getting the hang of to be totally honest. My ink and line work is pretty decent I think. It's just getting a handle on transferring stroke techniques and just all the technical stuff of finding brush settings and methods i like and all that bizniz to make the colour quality match my line quality.

I'm talking your ear off though. Cheers dude!

So as you work lighter and lighter you pulling into desaturates as if your adding white to the color correct?

Mmmm I usually start with a dark silhouette and low contrast, gradually bringing it brighter and brighter by color picking. I try to add saturated midtones, with desaturated highlights or areas where light is strong. That way the character stays colorful while not looking supersaturated. Also I am reuploading the file with one that does not cut off near the end so you're not left staring at black nothing for like 10 seconds.

At some point of the image the anteater shifts to a more yellow hue. That's because I realized he felt a little too gray/red and close to the background, so i picked a beige/orange, took the opacity down to like 20%, 0 pen pressure, and did a flat wash over all of it to change all of the tones. Colors doesn't allow hue/saturation, you see so I have to do washes if I want to change the image as a whole.

Haha, I use washes in PS too. XD Hue/Saturation, what is this Hue/Saturation?

Seconding (thirding?) the thanks comments! This will be educational.

Okok, Sorry after that last one i knew i was taking it to far. XD

Thanks for this. More examples to help with the whole understanding always helps.

I never bothered blocking out muscles individually in my head before. I am such a dumbass.

Thanks for the upload, sir. This rocks.

I'm not sure it's super appropriate for stuff outside of fantasy art and furry porn :p fantasy art generally features overly muscular and oiled dudes with low fat content and bulging muscles, but anything outside of that genre with it would look... out of place?

Muscles are usually much more subtle as theyre hidden under layers of fat and skin.

Well then, time to justify my comment and do some fantasy art! :D

hence why I'm so in love with that genre <3

this was really cool to see how you work.




helps alot, thanks ;)

I wish you'd upload these things more often. You've been a real inspiration you know, and your tutorials have had a visible effect on my style. :3

Ouh, thanks <3 glad to hear it

It's amazing to watch you work! Thanks for uploading this! I hope to learn a lot!

It´s really amazing to see how you work on your digital paintings, and I love to see the how a picture develops under a few minutes, even that looks amazing as the final piece.
