Learning how to create Hand-Painted textures
vertex
Hey guys I want to start learning how to make hand painted textures.
Are there many tuts around cause I haven't found many useful ones. Do you need to be a great drawer to make them and how important is it to know how to make then in the game art industry?

Yes, you do need to be a good painter if you want to make hand-painted textures.
However the good news is this is a skill which can be learned. It improves with steady practice.
We have many good resources on our wiki. Have you seen and tried these?

There's lots of good reference there, and the first follow along I did that really gave me a solid fountain for hand painted textures.
