how much time did it take you to render this ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Suzanne-Helmigh In reply to ishee [2013-06-05 10:27:58 +0000 UTC]

21 hours mostly because the controller was bugging me which took me 8 hours.

ishee In reply to Suzanne-Helmigh [2013-06-06 06:58:55 +0000 UTC]

amazing , that much time and dedication.

I have a bad habit or short attention span
anything that takes more than 2 or 3 hours loses
my focus.

ishee In reply to Suzanne-Helmigh [2013-06-06 13:48:57 +0000 UTC]

good advice , but when I usually take break it last
couple of months and sometimes a year.

Anyway looking at your art just gives me enough inspiration
to get one through.

Sketches get better and better over the years everyone can do it as long as they are willing and patient enough to spend a long time on developing their skills

Seems like I really have to embarrass myself with a lifestudy sometime...
But awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing! I didn't know you can link a layer like this..

Suzanne-Helmigh In reply to greensandsguy [2013-06-03 16:28:24 +0000 UTC]

Nothing embarrassing about it, especially failing, you need to fail with life studies before you get it right, or else you haven't challenged yourself enough ^^

fang [2013-06-02 18:56:40 +0000 UTC]

do you still have the initial sketch of this before the pen tool step? or was there anything done before that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Suzanne-Helmigh In reply to fang [2013-06-02 19:38:02 +0000 UTC]

nothing was done before that. the sketch is what hapens after that. I keep changeing the pentool shape till it seems right in that sketch phase

rujiidragon In reply to ??? [2013-06-02 17:43:12 +0000 UTC]

I still don't know how to work that pen tool, its like the 5th wonder of the universe. D:
As for brushes, I don't even use a round brush or a custom brush, it might be because I use Corel painter because it doesn't allow you to make a custom brush or come with a round brush. Either way in traditional or digital, I can never make things look quite right. Heck or even look good for that matter.

Suzanne-Helmigh In reply to rujiidragon [2013-06-03 16:29:34 +0000 UTC]

Give it some time I know how frustrating it is when your painting doesn't look like the one you have imagined in your head. lots of time and effort will be the key ^^

rujiidragon In reply to Suzanne-Helmigh [2013-06-03 16:58:18 +0000 UTC]

I can't argue with that. I just wish I had more time in the day to study and draw.

The cloth is just blowing my mind. I always have trouble translating real world colors to digital...

Suzanne-Helmigh In reply to RtKCreations [2013-06-06 12:07:54 +0000 UTC]

the cloth is actually the easiest part here, because it has the most freedom.
No harsh edges, you can basically use whatever brush you'd like to achieve this effect.

RtKCreations In reply to Suzanne-Helmigh [2013-06-07 04:16:13 +0000 UTC]

Thats actually a really useful peace of advice as I often find myself really trapped and strict in my work, I need a little freedom. Thanks.

You crazy person! D:

But to be honest, I will never understand how a human brain and hand are able to do something like that.
Wonderful work.
