Description My tools:
Photoshop CS4
Wacom Tablet
Mouse

As far as I know this technique works for Gimp and Sai as well, but as I don't own these programs... well, I don't give guarantee on that.
What I can guarantee is that it works without a tablet as well, though it will make your life 10x easier (I use this technique with a mouse often too, so YES it does work.)

I'm open for questions concerning this tutorial but if you want to know more about how the different functions here work, please go and search for another tutorial here on DA!! There are tons of them.
And if you have advice of how I can make my tutorials better or more informative, feel free to tell me~



The promised coloring-tutorial Sorry it took so long to do...

Oh well, hope it helps you out.

You should make a tutorial just on your metal shading techniques. All the metal in this is stunning.

Gradient tool is a bit tricky in Gimp, but maybe it is just me. Hm...I think you just reminded me a new way I could do in my drawing...! Might give it a try and see if it works, thanks for the tutorial!

Deamond-89 In reply to IpodPuppet [2009-06-30 06:38:22 +0000 UTC]

Probably. I never tried it out myself but some other artists using gimp said they tried it out and it worked for them.
