I think I might go try to find this. I loved this piece!

Yay you posted it! I tried to find the magazine here, but no luck. Thanks!

oooh. that's really cool ^_^.

you're so pro...i love you

Oh goodness, I need to find this. It's been a dream of mine to be able to paint like this. You, Balaa, and Hibbary have been my heroes.

Yall use yer brush so durn pertty!

Bloody brilliant!

O_O

Wow... I'm going to go try and find this! Congrats on being in a magazine; with your beautiful artwork, I figured it had to have happened sooner or later! ^^

very cool! will you know if there will be any color theory articles in there? if so, that may be worth getting :D

I absolutely love this! It shows that you take a large amount of time and special care to get things right. Great job!

Thanks for sharing the artistic process with us! That fox picture turned out absolutely wonderful. I just can't say enough good things about it

Maybe I will go buy it. X3
My painting abilities could definitely use some work.



What were your other tutorials about? Where they all printed in Painter Magazine?

All in Painter Magazine, yes. One was for this one http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2433377, one was for this one http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2325450/, one was just an artist feature/interview, and this other one will be out in November. :3

Wow, this looks bitchin'!

must find this magazine.

Actually this is probably one of the better ones for traditionally-based artists out there. Every time I open up a digital art program, I feel like a bloody kindergartner all over again. This actually resembles some of my irl painting strategies and now that I know it can carry over, I'll definitely be trying it out.

Thanks for the linkup.

Very fantastic. I'm definitely going to check out the magazine. 8D

I bought a few issues of Painter Magazine a long time ago, didn't find them to be very interesting to me, though. But I will definitely consider picking up a copy just for this. What issue would this be?

Also, I have been missing my favorite ustream. I haven't seen anything announced for along time. Do you still do them?

I did one last week, but otherwise I have been unable to stream for one reason or the other.

This is gorgeous. And so very useful.
I don't know how to use Painter anywhere near to this degree

Very cool. :3

Oh man, I would so love to buy the magazine and have it signed by you. I'd buy two and frame the signed article!

Awesome!

Oooh, I love that mag :) That, and imaginefx

You do good articles ^^

For a second it looks like some tutorial off a magazine ^^

But it is a tutorial in a magazine. This is the scan of it.

So this is a actual tutorial in a magazine ?

Yes, an actual tangible magazine you can find in large bookstores in the UK and US and who know where else. It's called Corel Painter Magazine.

Beautiful, for a second there i was lead that you made magazines and that this tutorial was yours ^^

cancel out the S

...it is my tutorial. XD

*chibi me hugs you*

Haha ok ok ^^

You put your tutorial into a magazine that looks like the one's you saw. Am i right ? X3

What? A magazine asked her to make a tutorial for their publication. She posted the result for us all to see.

Ahh. thak you

how much is the magazine?

I think it's usually 15 dollars.

ahh okay

I didn't notice the bunny before. Lunch? :p

that's just awesome, although it's quite a bit harder than they make it sound.

Harder than "they" make it sound?

I really wish you would do a marker tutorial, Vantid, this looks like some kind of computer tutorial!!

hehe cool

i think u need to take all tutorials and sum it to one book or magazine and sell it throught rabbitwallay or something. i am sure it will usefull for furry artists.

I have a feeling this is gonna help me out a ton. Yhanks alot for postng it

Congrats on getting into Painter, such great exposure for your portfolio. If you don't have a job yet as an artist and you are working towards it. This tutorial should help a lot, great job. Thanks for sharing.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have an artist job?

I might have to check this out, it looks like a very good tutorial, and I always thirst for knowledge ^^

After my many years in the fandom and seeing SO many talanted artists not getting the attention they richly deserve, it is nice to see that you are able to get some of that attention and break out into some of the mainstream... and get paid for it!!! }:=)

flipped through the magazine today and found this - and got reminded! so freaking cool, XD
you got paid?

Ooh, pretty...

awsome tutorial and beautiful work.

Congradulations for getting in the mag ^__^

The tutorial seems a bit vague in the sense that there is no "technique" being described (like what types of brushes to use). But at least the color aspect was relatively informative. I don't know about how much detail the full article has, since I haven't read it, but I do wish there was something about fur direction/flow, adding depth to clumped fur, etc.

Still, congrats either way on your article. That has to be a pretty darn nice thing to add to a resume. :)

But I did say what brushes I used in steps one and two. Detail Airbrush for sketching, and Round Oil Pastel for painting. As for fur technique, I mentioned direction in step two and I touch on that in the later steps of the article. Each step has a limited word count AND I was supposed to cover fur, feathers, and scales with a focus on using Painter. It's a very small amount of space to cram a LOT of information.

I suggest picking up some wildlife art books for some much better information on fur technique, such as Rod Lawrence's Painting Wildlife Textures - Step by Step.

That said, I am trying to complete a much more in depth tutorial in my spare time. :3

I must have totally missed that. I was focussing on 3-5, so that must have been why I said it. I feel sorta dumb. =(

Look forward to seeing the tutorial you come up with, that you aren't limited on characters for. :x

I buy the magazine every month just so that I have "someone" to teach me how to use Painter. I was delighted to see that article -- wildlife! Wow! Heh, now if only I can stop staring in awe at the image and try it.

A beautiful image, Vantid.
