New Video Tutorial - Shading & Lighting Effects
9 years ago
Hi folks, RipRoarRex here.
In case it was overlooked beneath the picture (which is easily done!), I wanted to draw your attention to a brand new art tutorial video I have posted on YouTube based upon my latest submission, 'TMNT - Party Dude Pounce'.
This is a step-by-step tutorial video which takes you through my technique for shading pictures in Corel PaintShop Photo Pro (X3). This follows on from my Colour Preparation Tutorial on my website, which shows how to take your picture from a pencil drawing to the flat colour image shown at the start of this video. (If you haven't seen this previous tutorial before, click here.)
The whole process takes me many hours, but I have trimmed this video down to around 15 minutes of the essentials. While large chunks of the sequence have been cut out, each section of the demonstration runs in real-time, unlike my previous time-lapse demonstration video.
This tutorial takes you through setting up layers, what different brush options do, how to apply shading/lighting and carry out blending, and how to tidy up your work at the end. As mentioned within the clip, these are just my methods - I cannot claim that these are by any means the most efficient ways to achieve these effects or indeed whether they will be suitable for anyone else, but hopefully this can give you some ideas if you're not sure how to proceed. Ultimately, you just need to experiment and find out what works for you.
Note that this video has no sound. The instructions are delivered via text on screen. I have attempted to pace them suitably for watching in one go, but you may wish to pause and repeat various sections as you go through.
If you've got any queries about the steps shown in this video, feel free to ask. And for more demonstrations and step-by-step guides, check out the Tutorials page on my website.

Your writing is so smooth and professional, without getting pretentious. In a World where everyone seems to be kicking grammar around, and aspiring writers think that quality writing = figure of speech overdose, it's surely a pleasure to find someone who treats the words like you, laying them in such a diaphanous, graceful manner. More than once did I find myself reading your journals and descriptions, just for the sheer pleasure of reading them, even if the subject matter is not of my direct interest.
If you ever write a novel, whichever its genre might be, let me know so, because surely I'd be very interested in acquiring it!
Not sure about a novel but I've written a fair few stories here on my FA account in case you've not seen them - most notably the Snapshots series (starting here).
