Description
Ive always been annoyed when i had to click "download" to actually read the text in tutorials. Sorry its so big, but itll be worth it when it loads~So ive wanted to do a tutorial for a while, but i never felt i knew anything special. Though since ive been talking to a few friends, there are definitely a few things i have to offer you guys. Now i cover a ton of stuff here, so nothing is in depth as it could be. If you really need more in depth, send me a note and ask specific questions. Hope this helps at least someone.

also, how do you make the transitions from light-to-dark so smooth?

brush settings that allow for pen pressure

i usually turn on the "opacity controlled by pen pressure" option on the brush tool but it is not quite so smooth. hmmm...

Oh thankyou! You inadvertantly helped me fix a problem I was having with my brushes. I'd fiddled them around at one point, and then couldn't remember how to change them back. XD
Plus, it's just an awesome tutorial in general.

ah i tried to follow this tutorial and my picture doesn't really look very 3D or anything. x.x.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This tutorial might be a little bit over your current skill level. I would suggest drawing from life to understand form better
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's a good idea.
i can only wonder how you got that 3D look to it to make it come alive off of flat to have body and texture xD its very epic.

nice! i've had a few ideas kicking around in my head lately, but wasn't sure how to make em all cool. You've improved so much over the years, been watching for awhile

Thanks for making this! It's really helpful, especially the part about creating brushes. I had no idea how that worked...

A bit too random to really grasp anything new, but you get insane credit for your coloring style. I still can't figure out how you get that result on just the first few face steps.

major props man! always cool when an artist shares his knowledge and secrets with the rest. very cool and i did actually learn something. never knew about the expanding lines thing and never thought about using FX with painting. great tutorial man!

Particularly the shading and linearting business l3
