[link] is the reference for this tutorial.

Part 2 is here: [link]

These should be viewed as two halves of the same tutorial.

I apologize for the file-size. I had to save big so that you could read everything.

I understand that this is in the middle of the "paintovers are not a real art form" arguement, but I don't really care anymore. Doing one for this tutorial showed me that the arguements people use against paint-overs are so much BS anyway.

I am not encouraging people to use this type of thing for ever, for no other reason than because this painting was the single, most annoying thing I've done in a long time. What it is good for, however, is to show yourself what realistic color is, and help you with the anatomy of things like faces and hands when you run into difficulty. It takes just as much work, however, to do a color-pick paint-over as it does to work with your own colors. It is NOT easier, it is NOT simpler, and it sure as hell is more frustrating.

If you're adamantly against paint-overs and want to give me a hard time about this, do one first, so that you understand what you're arguing against.

And please, do not work this way or long. Not because it's wrong, but because working with your own colors is much more satisfying, not to mention more flexible and LESS work in the long run.
