Description
Before there are any misunderstandings: I´m by no means a professional. I´m still learning, myself. I make mistakes. This is just the way I draw and doesn´t mean you have to do it that way, too. Just sayin´.:>Ask away if you have any questions. Don´t be shy to write a critique or some advice. And sorry, if there are any (grammar) mistakes in it. English is not my first language.^^'
The Linework tutorial (SAI) I mentioned can be found here: [link]
The texture I used for the water can be found here: [link]

Even if you're still learning, you're way ahead compared to me 
I found a few useful tips about lightning nonetheless and I believe that is quite good tutorial ^^

Well, it´s mostly just overlay, multiply and lighting layers combined with several hard and soft brushes. For shading and lighting I used the same pastel brown, for the base a light turquise and as an eyecatcher violet highlights here and there.
It´s quite a lot of text, that I should have shortened and showed more images instead. But I did only have so much WIPs/Screenshots and lots to explain.^^'
The next one will probably be better.

We learn from our mistakes so it's good 
It reminds me that I was supposed to do a tutorial before the hiatus...
I wait for another one then ^^

What kind of tutorial did you want to do?

Someone asked me to give him advice about drawing anthro characters, so I told him I could do a short tutorial for that. I never got around to finish that. Scratch that, I barely started ^^"

Anthros aren´t that easy to draw. I mostly get the proportions wrong, so the heads are too big and the arms and legs too long and thin. Human anatomy is just a mystery to me.:´D

I not that knowledgeable myself. I was drawing anthros for... two months previously? And I always use a lot of reference materials while I draw. Just until I get everything right.

I always use references for human bodytypes, too. That´s one of the reasons I don´t do commissions on humans or anthros, the other that I simply doesn´t enjoy drawing them most of the time.

I don't quite enjoy drawing humans either. But when they have paws and animal head it makes huge difference and then drawing a human body starts to be really interesting ^^ I wonder why

I only like drawing centaur creatures. They spare me drawing butts or thighs.XD

Great Tutorial! what canvas size did you use for this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!X3
I used a canvas of 1200x2419pxl. Usually I start of with a 1000x2000 canvas and adapt it while working on the sketch, therefore they pretty much always get a very random size.XD
