Description
There you go, you can read all my secrets.
This is part of an art trade with the amazing .
We decided to draw a picture for each other plus a tutorial how we did it.
NOTES: If it's not obvious, I'm (still) using Photoshop 7 at home. I also have a Wacom tablet.
Hope it is helpful at all!

Thanks my friend! I love to see other people's working progress too, so I thought it was only fair to share mine, too!

This is a very nice tutorial, its hard to find good digital painting tutorials I think because most artists believe people have to find out everything themselves.

I learned a lot reading tutorials, I'm very grateful for that!
Doing a tutorial now myself does not mean everybody has to draw my way, but maybe I mention something that is helpful to others, then I'm happy!

Nope it does not have to, but the overall techniques are quite helpful for starters (like putting it down flat and then working out.) How many layers do you use normally? And, I know you wrote 300 dpi, but how big do you work?

The layers differ a lot. In a pic like this, with background and textures and everything, it's from 10 to 20 in the end. Sometimes when I alrerady have a lot of layers and it's getting chaotic, I use the same layer for different subjects that don't touch each other in the picture, like shoes and hair or something.
Sizewise, I start off around 600x800 pixels and only shrink it in the end. I've been told, for printing purposes you'd make your picture 300 dpi and the size a little bit bigger than the print will be.

That is very small... I know people who work on canvases (plural?) like 6000 pixels wide. Not me though since my computer would choke, I normally try to put it 3 times as big as the intended outcome. Never bothered for the dpi though.

Oh I'm so sorry, I just noticed I made a mistake! I do work on 2000 -3000 pixels first and only eventually shrink to 600-800! Sorry!

dpi is very important. try out 300, and the canvas won't seem small to you, I promise! ;o)
