Got two very helpful advice: 1- Always kick off with a big canvas and high resolution, after completing your work you can minimize it so it can look more detailed. This way you can zoom in to give details to the very small objects in your work. I honestly often forget about this very important step and after I notice I can't zoom in a lot I have to scrap the work because if I re-size from mid work the PC would most likely freeze or crash. 2-I was working on a piece, I used to pick and mix color for shading. but I came across a neat trick for shading (it's kinda really straight forward, D'oh!, it's just a question of noticing) see where the yellow circle on the left bar, it will pop a list with a lot of option... dodge is to make your color brighter and burn darker... on the top bar, the brush bar, where the yellow circle is, Opacity. That option controls how many notches you want to dodge or burn the color, the higher the greater the difference the color will be, you can bound them together afterwards using Soften on the same list on the left bar.
Sorry for the link dump, I just don't like reposting the same stuff all over the city. There isn't a lot of new stuff I can share with you guys. I assure you there has been since then but I can't post some of those things. Also figured I'd throw in some old threads, one about learning the basics of art cause people were talking about tips, and the old art shows because I was going to see if anyone was interested in starting that up again. It was fun and forced me to draw. Also it was fun seeing the surprise of what people were working on before the submit date My Personal Art Thread, you got to dig through the pages for some of them. If you are enjoying looking at it. http://forum.grasscity.com/artists-corner/531630-high-high-high-art.html My Bored Drawing Request Thread (I always abandon them....I'm really sorry to anyone who enjoyed them, I'm a lot busier workwise) http://forum.grasscity.com/general/1230825-bored-drawing-requests.html A little thread I made a while back. If people are interested in more things I have to say about art I'd love to make more...but maybe in blog form, maybe in a less formal matter of fact manner. I'd also love input from other artist's on GC http://forum.grasscity.com/artists-corner/635827-what-you-need-know-make-artart-101.html Grasscity Artshows (I can't find the other ones I think someone else posted those and then I took over...who knows bad memory with all the smoking and what not) I'd also like to start this again if enough people are interested http://forum.grasscity.com/artists-corner/803774-grasscity-artshow-3.html http://forum.grasscity.com/artists-corner/1018599-grasscity-artshow-4.html TLR Summary: Links to some threads I made check em out I think you will like em. I'm liking a lot of the art in this thread, and allows encourage people to create.
Incredible work! especially those last two drawings! I would give anything to master drawing like that! Really great stuff thanks for sharing, really makes me want to step my game up ( I'v got a loooong way to go), definitely going to make some more time to developing myself. Are you self taught? how long have you been drawing?
