Description Yes, it is wordy, I know and big too. I just like to be very thorough in my description of things. If I do another, it will likely not be as wordy.

This here is a drawing tutorial for those just learning to draw or are attempting Prismacolors for the very first time. I bet some people find it strange I am targeting this level of skill in art to teach but I do feel if people do not have good foundations, they cannot grasp more advanced topics. A good example is me and General Relativity. It sounds really interesting and really cool to learn and try, but I know too little to study such advanced topics such as Tensors or Linear Algebra or even Special Relativity. Ugg. *has been reading a really good physics book lately*

Anyways, I hope someone learns something from this. If they do, maybe in the future I will make and post the next stage of this learning process.

Nice job! This is very nicely done. I know you don't want a critique but I have to say that this is very clear cut and easy to understand. Also the background wasn't too busy. Thats one thing I hate about most tutorials... the backgrounds make it hard to read them. One thing that I didn't like was the first three frames were kind of hard to see on my computer. Oh well! It turned out great Martin, I'm really glad you did do a tutorial finally.

Thank you Kelley! I figured those frames would be hard to see but that is how I start all my pictures.

I know. >.< It's just hard to see them. It's really something to see you work and build the layers of colors.

*googles verythin* lol, very thin
Oooh, their Prismas too!
Good for detailing (and like you do, blending)
Those was very interesting O_o


I bet many find this tutorial very helpful, it's very well written and easy to understand!
I don't think its to wordy, I think its perfect! =^_^=
it's better to explain at length then to leave the reader guessing
I sure hope you make some more advanced ones also!
