Description
Just a simple walkthrough, I added parts that I saved. I do really paint the same way traditionally as I do digitally. xD theres not much diffrence actually.Only traditonally i have to make the colors myself, and water out the paint like if I were using opacity pressure in photoshop haha. Im used to painting on one layer anyway so it doesnt matter if I dont have layers traditionally xDI use cheap acrylics which you buy in huge tubes, saves money xD. I dont like the small ones they stink and die fast. I think i used 3 brushes on this piece, one big, one medium and one small for details. big one being flat, and two being round.
Ignore typos if they are there xD
8D hope it helps somehow

Is the material where you painted masonite? If so, do you need to prepare it in some way?

Did you painted this on masonite?

xD omg nooooo it doesnt even look like wood. Its rock, or a slate to be excact. Masonite is not this shiny or reflective
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, ok. That explains why it was so reflective .-. I thought that it was some kind of preparation

Ekstremt nyttig! Dette skal jeg prøve ut neste gang jeg maler noe. Fiffig å lage en digital kladd først. Takk for tutorialen! : D

Forresten, kjører du malingen fra Clas Ohlson, eller har du slike store krukkeliknende tubeflasker?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe ja kjøper fra clas ohlson! de har den beste akvarellmalinga, de store tubene. Kjøpte noe fra en slik artbutikk tidligere og malingen er helt ekkel nå Dx varer ikke I det heletatt. Dessuten er jo clausesausebutikken billigere

Sannhet! Men jeg har funnet ut at jeg ikke liker CO-malinga, den flyter utover og jeg får den aldri til å dekke! : / Jeg tror det neste jeg prøver blir slike store beholdere fra enten Pebeo eller System3. Min hvite CO-tube var helt tett av halvtørr maling, men det er nok mer fordi jeg ikke bruker akryl så ofte... Du får sikkert ikke det problemet, siden du bruker maling mer frekvent. o:

D8 ja ganske rart. Hvilken tuber kjøpte du?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Den typen som vi kjøpte den gangen; plasttuber, "Liquitex basics"

hmm :C mine ser ut til å fungere enda, du har ikke hatt dem i extrem varme eller kulde?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tja, har jo fartet en del med dem. Flybagasjen er ganske kald, tror jeg. o: Kan ligge noe i det, når du nevner det... Men jeg lider ingen nød; maler så sjeldent.

Acrylic paint dries very fast so xD but yes I would wait. unless you want to blend it into the background colors.

...Whoa .
Just .... WHOA .
It's... amazing
I can't paint for God's sake, but I can say it must've took loooong to make ;-; Buy omg- these details on head ;AAA;
I'd die to be able to paint something like this, srsly ; u ; ~ If I were your mom, I'd love you forever and keep on asking for a painting for a b-day XDD;;

:'D it only took around 2 hours xD but then again im impatient and want to se results fast haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hah xD I guess we all are impatient when it comes to art ~
Though I thought it took something like 6 hours o_o

Amazing process! The colors are delicious and the movement of the owl about to land is insanely well rendered. Acrylic doesn't blend as nicely as oils (IMO), but you totally rocked them paints.

You can blend them very well if you are fast

Great tutorial. I haven't painted very much, but you bring up a great point with pre-planning the color scheme. What a great tip! I have always wondered how artists are able to insert differing colors, and that would make sense.

Do you seal these after you paint them? Or are you not worried about the paint coming off?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD acryl is a tough paint, it can handle most things unless you paint it on plastic.
I once painted it on leather, and I was afraid it would be ruined, but mom uses that leather jacket when shes around on her biker meetings in rain and wind and its still just as nice.
So Im not afraid that it will come of, and you do not need to seal it with anything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, that's cool. I'm glad her jacket is still good as new! And I love owls so you've won me over with this painting

Hmmm... You know, I never considered doing a digital version of a piece to get me started rather than jumping right in. I may have to try that method. Thanks so much for sharing!

welcome

I'll bet. The only downfall (least for me) would be that the pieces history wouldn't be showing. But I have to really respect your style. It's very beautiful ^^

You know, you could make a fortune selling your art if you really wanted to o3o
You're better than some of the artists I saw at the art festival in Chicago over the summer
