Description
Okay, so this was another one of those small tutorials that became massive.As a disclaimer, I've never had lessons on digital painting, or much in the way of colour, so if there are any inconsistencies with my spoken truths - then please forgive me! Also, I know there are spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, but I accidentally lost all my layers and so couldn't edit a number of the sections.
But now that's out of the way, thankyou for taking the time to read this, or view it! I hope that this helps in some small way or another, my last tutorial absolutely blew my mind with the response, so I thought I'd create another one and elaborate more on the art of painting. This tutorial was made and based with GIMP, so some things may be different for photoshop users, but the basics are all the same.
I will next be doing a tutorial on how I draw proportions, which has been asked of me on many occasions, Ill hope to have it out in the next month - thank you for all my faithful friends.
Feel free to leave feedback, and any questions and ill try my best to answer them.

Love the tutorial! I only have one little critique...the part where you did the steps for the eye was a bit confusing, because if the way it's organized. Other than that, awesome tut! I will definitely use this in the future.

Oh yes very much!
In relation to painting, its Red, Yellow and Blue.
In reference to light its Red, Green and Blue.
Always red.

Magnus-23 In reply to nataliebeth [2014-01-12 09:40:14 +0000 UTC]
First of all, sorry for my english:
in painting it's Cyan magenta and yellow-> CYMB
in light it's red, green and blue (more like violet not like cyan )->RGB
a primary painting color cannot be a primary light color, because primary light color are the secondary painting colors
The theory that Red, yellow and Bue are the primary substractive colors it's cutural herency but not true, like the seven colors of the rainbow, its just cultural herency (7 as a magic number blablabal )
you technique is quite good, but well, the theory is'nt, i'm sorry but it's wrong, you can't make magenta with red and cyan (or red and blue) you'll make something similar but not the pure color.
