Description Since you guys seem to enjoy Food drawings and Tutorials the most, I thought I should start a new personal project and use each new drawing (of food, of course...) as a pretext to tell you something new about my process. I intend to tell you more about how I use layers and colors and about the steps I take to get to the final drawing.

From now on, I will post daily, first the drawing, then the tutorial connected to it. If on some days I have too little time, I will only post a drawing and skip a 'tutorial day'. However, I hope this will not happen too often.

I count on you to let me know what you would like to learn next, so that I can prepare some explanations for you. This whole endeavor relies heavily on your feedback, so please let me know if I am going too fast or not explaining things well enough. Although I am not a professional illustrator and even less qualified as a teacher, I hope I will manage to offer you some useful information. Wish me luck!

Your tutorial is a massive help! Thank you so much! It would be nice to see how to paint the glossy appearance of an object or paint liquid material

Noted, I will try to come up with something on that matter. Just know that I don't have a clear consistent method... yet. ) I have never thought about it before.

I think there are many aspects to the process of drawing itself, and particularly to drawing food that one can learn about. I can't teach you in one go how to make nice looking food drawings. I need to show you some techniques and the logic you need to follow to get there. Sorry, I couldn't make things more compact, but I hope this still helps you improve your techniques.

That's okay, it's as good as it gets and it depends on the style!  It's amazing either way!

Thank you! I really hope these will help me get a dialogue going with the people visiting my page, regarding what there is to be learned out there and what they want to know.

Oh, my! That is so dramatic... I am glad you think it's helpful. I'll try to come up with more. Let's see what else I can do.

*If you ever feel like helping me out a bit, and if you are active on Instagram, please share my work from time to time. Maybe other people will benefit from this and I will benefit from their attention.

Yeah, though I don't actually use Photoshop.

Most digital drawing software operates in similar ways to Photoshop. I don't know all the software out there, but as far as I managed to test out, many operate in similar ways.

woah, this is really helpful, thank you for the tutorial! I wish honestly I had more texture brushes, it would help a TON

Here is a resource for Photoshop. www.adobe.com/products/photosh… You need to create an account and log in. Or look up the brush collection of Kyle T. Webster, maybe you can find these from another source.
Or send me a message at designing.lua@gmail.com, maybe I can find a way to help you with some brushes. Do you use Photoshop or something else?
I don't use much of these brushes. I usually find a brush and customize it a bit, to match the texture I want to achieve, and then I use brush strokes. It can be a huge time saver. Do you want a tutorial on customizing brushes? I think there are a million out there already...

I am not really familiar with that software. Do you know what the extension of the brush files is? Maybe it's still compatible with Photoshop.
