Em, if it's not too much trouble a tutorial about how you made the bubbly things (the water droplets at the top of the pic?) would be interesting too. I can never get those. ; Been reading all your tutorials and I really like how you explained and show steps, like for the bubble tutorial. Good job!

Apofiss In reply to Kcik [2011-03-19 13:20:16 +0000 UTC]

hmm... maybe don't learn just from tutorials, try to observe, figure out things on your own; that should help in the process.

MatheusFS [2011-03-02 21:22:16 +0000 UTC]

Which program do you use? I thinkthrough the adobe photoshop hard to do these things , then I use Paint Tool SAI ,

you could direct me to your program? please?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Apofiss In reply to MatheusFS [2011-03-02 21:59:03 +0000 UTC]

i use photoshop and paint tool sai, both are rather equal, except i suggest sai for colour blending part~

ApacheCove [2011-02-11 19:19:27 +0000 UTC]

hm, this is really nice. I like it.
would this work for smooth water surfaces too?
Anyway, It's great. Water's hard to draw, and this helps bunches. :3 I wish I had Sai.

Apofiss In reply to ApacheCove [2011-02-11 19:32:42 +0000 UTC]

hard to say as when painting water more values come in action; bsicly smooth water would just has less waves/noise. p.s. you can do the same in photoshop.

ApacheCove In reply to Apofiss [2011-02-12 15:42:45 +0000 UTC]

alrighty, thank you.
My computer is evil and for some reason my photoshop stopped working, which annoys my since its my program of choice. Now I'm stuck with corel painter. X[ But in the end, sai had always been the program I preferred, though now that's a problem since I no longer have a working PC in my home. Someone should really port the program to mac, a lot of people would buy it.

Raidell [2011-01-26 00:29:28 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. I avoid painting water because it's difficult, but that's not a good way to learn! XD
