teaching painting online?

Belias

hello

is there any place where someone could teach me how to paint in photoshop?

and how much would that cost?

i'm not aiming for a very high quality, only something like this



then i can practice and make more stuff like this

Xoliul

It just takes effort from your side man, there's plenty of good tutorials out there, try ctrl-paint for example.

xoliul, seems to be a nice website man, moar? tnx.

vofff: i don't like there website, so maybe they have bad service too?

Alberto Rdrgz

just teach yourself, i know it sounds douchy but it's true you'll learn way more. Just practice and be patient. you'll suck for a bit untill it clicks.

Justin Meisse

I like how you say you aren't aiming for high quality and then proceed to post an Ashley Wood concept.

I second the suggestion of CTRL+Paint
Just draw all the time, carry a little sketchbook with you, fill all those little moments of down time with drawing.

Lazerus Reborn

I clicked onto the concept work too ;')

Buy a sketch book, buy a nice pencil an get going. Look into real life drawing classes, draw still life and work up your fundamentals. Just keep at it and you'll get what you put in.

*is typing with a paintbrush since well yeah.

get a community college painting 101 course where they will ((hopefully)) teach you how to draw objects in the right perspective and apply paint in accordance to light and shadow theory
once you get through your first super-sucky and cringeworthy attempts and take time to think what exactly you're doing wrong, things will go uphil
ps: Ashley Wood can do awesome speedpaints because his painting skill is that strong. you can't do just sum scribblz and expect them to look smh good just because they're unfinished and very suggestive

I dont know, some like +1000 videos here http://idrawgirls.com/

just because its rough doesn't mean its something simple you could easily learn how to do. Ashley Wood has been painting for eons. At any one time the dude has 20 or so canvas`s going at one time. His blog is insane, hundreds and hundreds of posts, showing of thousands of canvas`s. If you want advice that's pretty much all there is to it. paint all the time. Skill development comes from repetition and learning what works and what doesn't.

How about http://ipaintgirls.com/ is a good one.
Get the Famous Pear tutorial it is a good starting point.

Haha Belias you officially achieved Master Troll status with that Ashley Wood picture.
Only something like ... like that thing here, by one of the best painters in the world hehehe

JasonLavoie

I'm honestly still confused why people help this dude. Every time he posts a thread you guys give great feedback for resources etc. and yet he continues to troll all of us :P

Belias baffles me to no ends :poly142:

you have misunderstood me guys, anyways thanks for the resources.
edit: and stop calling me a troll, i am creating an awesome iphone game now =]

UNCCheezy

if nothing else guys, it will help someone else who comes along.

I've found recently that you can buy all the books, and stare at all the greats masterpieces, but until you sit down and continually make shitty stuff, you woln't get any better. it helps if your having fun, but you gota be continually learning.

Haven't you asked this years ago?
On the serious note- practice man, just practice. No one(except of you) can make you better than you are.

Hey, thanks for posting the Gnomon link. I bought that after seeing your link and it was really useful stuff!

vofff

yea the best advice is practise! Listen from the pros dude. At 2009 you could be as good as this quality of painting, if you were practising everyday.

fightpunch

Do it all day every day. No other way man.

davefranco

There are tons of Online Tutoring sites offer online teaching on various subjects, softwares and languages.

Chris Krüger

If you aren't "aiming for a very high quality" why bother at all? The commitment it takes to become a good painter is massive, and becoming even a mediocre painter will also take shitloads of time. So please, go do something else or just use Google instead of starting threads like this.
