Description Since I haven't painted for a while, I decided I needed a warm-up piece. So I decided to honour an old promise and made a tutorial on how to paint tears.

It's my first tutorial and I'm NO art teacher, so you will have to make do. ^^ Don't know if it's too detailed, or not detailed enough... But I hope it can help someone out a bit.

The rest of the warm-up piece will be posted later on when it's done. Yeah. I hate noses!
Note to self: Always, ALWAYS start with some kind of line work! Blobs of colour just won't work!


And sorry dial-uppers! Big file size. But smaller would not do.

Woohoo! Finally I can go back to some oldies and make things right. I never could do tears and such well, but with a nice tut like this, I can try some new techs. Although you and I have a different style of painting, trying out new techs is never a bad idea... if it works

s to you!

Firstborn In reply to Autumnchild [2008-01-18 13:24:11 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like it! And trying new things is a fun challenge, don't you think?

And maybe you can apply it to your own style? It would be really interesting to see how that would look. Looking forward to it!
