Description

When you have an awesome idea for a character, you can feel how great it would be to see it on paper. But what if you don't have "talent"? Or maybe you can draw, but humans are simply not your area of expertise? Are you supposed to spend hours learning just to draw this one character for fun?

The solution is to use a reference, one as close to your idea as possible. However, there's a risk you'll need to compromise your idea, because there's no close reference you can use. Here, Fuse, a new addition to the Adobe family, comes to the rescue! It lets you create a human character from scratch using an advanced editor straight from RPG video games. Then you can edit it in Photoshop CC to finish the process to create a perfect reference for a drawing or digital painting. Read more...

I made this- erekisaiko.deviantart.com/art/…
From your tutorial over on tuts. I love your tutorials! I love how you explore so many different ways to make things in photoshop and then go explain all the way down to the science behind it. What I started reading for pure entertainment, has made me into a significantly better artist, and I've slowly begun to transition from more lineart based drawings to more painterly ones... Anyway, consider this my thank you! And please keep making amazing tutorials! (oh, and your ink brush gives me life)
