Justin Meisse

seeing someone paint while explaining their technique does give you some great "AHAH" moments.

Joseph Silverman

take color, make arts! Come on dude you dont need a step by step for everything, just dive in and learn.

Belias, take an art class at your local college and earnestly apply yourself to learning how first to draw. Things like cross-referencing and learning how to see the whole picture are incredibly important skills to train on the way towards learning how to draw and paint. If you can't afford school, buy "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards - it's likely the textbook any good teacher would reference in a drawing fundamentals class. Read the text and perform the studies diligently.

Tutorials aren't really learning. They can expose you to new methods, but learning to draw is more complex than "make some lines, set them to multiply over your colour layer, lay down flats, shade with a three tone palette, post to deviantART, et cetera" - it's something you have to devote a lot of time and patience of study, and suffer through, really killing yourself on the way, until you can finally burst into even marginal competence, like a phoenix, but instead of out of ashes, out of pencil shavings and crumpled paper, corrupt photoshop documents and sketchy eight-year-old wacom tablets...

Or yeah, what SupRore said.

Justin Meisse

practice drawing some still life, I haven't posted a tutorial since 'nam but here's some steps from drawing an apple:

I use a hard brush but I sometimes shift+ brush size to adjust the hardness. Instead of using the smudge tool to blend colors I use the color picker (alt).


there's a great website that everyone links for painting help... I'm too drunk and full of ice cream to remember the URL, someone else will do it for me
