Description
After 2 art lazes, an art style change, and many, many, many do overs.... I kinda did it..? This is a tutorial requested by There will be more tutorials later actually. I decided that I should just split a lot of the things I wanted to put here into whole other tutorials otherwise I would never finish this... ever. But this should give you a good idea on how I go about my early painting projects... kinda. It always changes with the day. This is what I fall back to a lot though, so I guess this is the mothership of my processes. All the other ways I do it are just silly little ships that often get destroyed by the enemy.. or something... I am so tired right now. Ignore me.I really hope it helps... //cries...

Two seconds... of effort.

Pffff then put in those two seconds of effort- you work digitally its not hard.
Yepp, I just need to get done with my buttload of stuff so I can open em up. Ewwww school starts today.

I do more work traditionally actually. :U I have to throw away some things because there are papers everywhere. Course I had to get a external drive to stuff all my art crap in too so...
lol I don't start for another 2 weeks. *dances around in my freedom*

Dont you just love traditional art and all the space it likes to have? I just keep my uploaded stuff saved on my coputer and my traditional stuff is everywhere trying to escape its containers. and succeding.
... LUCKY. I mean I would just have more time to do nothing but thats besides the point. Are you in college orr?

lol I sleep on my art a lot because I just leave the papers on my bed. Course it's also covering my walls and took over every binder I own. I need a better system for it already.
Nah, still in high school. This'll be my last tho. I'm not even sure if I'll be going to college. If I don't get a free ride (or a scholarship at least) somewhere, I don't think I'll afford it.

pfff how do sleep on your art- i mean i do but usually cause i work till i pass out, dont do that while sewing Β I wish I could put art and posters on my walls but i cant cause i share a room.Β
Β Im surprised that youre in highschool you honestly seem like youre in college or i just Β cant tell how old kids are nowadays
seriously if youre in higschool or middle school i cant tell how old you are.
That stinks though, did you consider going to community college?

jfc I'm so behind on messages again someone save me.
lol I sleep on my art cause I draw on my bed til I fall asleep. I've broken so many pens. Guess that's better than falling asleep while sewing tho. XD
I used to have to share my room with two of my siblings. Those were the dark times.. Dark times.
It's compensation for looking like a fucking 14 year old. :I At least I get free cookies cause of it.
I might go to a community college. I don't really know what I'll do. I sort of need to choose something soon I guess. I just really don't want to go to college yet. :/

I'd gladly take them off your hands if I could. I only get like two messages a day
lol I do the exact same, I usually just freak out for a sec and make sure to move my art to the end of the bed How I hate having a twin bed.. ive never broken anything though just wrinkled some peices. Oh Ive fallen asleep sewing too, with all my little pins right next me haha.
I share my room with a 43 year old :I Least I have the house to myself so I can sleep wherever I want :> also known as the couch.
lol. Ive had people think im fifteen, most people either think im fifteen or early twenties. waaait i want cookies
im actually surprised im going to college at all. i had no idea what i wanted to do by the end of senior year so im glad ive got an idea of it now. fair enough. least its less work for the most part.

Awesome tutorial! Coloring over values is fun, but I still haven't gotten the hang of it yet. This is really helpful, thank you
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it took me a long time to get used to it. I still paint in colours most of the time but I always don't like the results so much. That is why I kinda like this middle path of painting colour of crude value.
Well you are welcome!

Ohhhh, you finished it! ;u; I likeeeee. I keep meaning to try more semi-realism like this. I like the layer blending tricks, too...usually don't see those in tutorials very much. BUT AS YOU SHOWED ME A WHILE BACK, THEY CAN BE REALLY USEFUL. >:U I used to ttly underestimate them.
Anyways, looks like a lot of work went into this. And it reads really well. Nice workkk c:

Layers are your friends!! XD
But you can't get better if you never try! Go for it, Mark. I believe in you. XD
Yeahhhhh.... it was totally.. like... the hardest thing... Actually, it was surprisingly easy to just copy and paste things I already typed in previous versions and create this. ;w;

Lol. Hibernation.
That's good!
Neat emoticon, lol. ;~~~;
Ohh... I just uploaded a comic strip, and I want to hear from you on what you think about it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hibernation is good.
I have been using it a lot recently actually. ;~~~; It is just so what I have been feeling like lately...
I actually just looked at it and commented on it before looking at this message. (You have been uploading a lot recently.) XD I only commented on the comic though. Too little thinking power to make comments on things...
