Here ya go! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3lApsNmdwM"]EPISODE 36 Traditional Mediums - YouTube[/ame] Use fast swooping lines, its not really practical to try and make lines look good by going slow on a tablet, it will pick up the shakiness. Go fast and try to make it accurate, try not to rotate your canvas! By the…
@Asza Nice work getting depth in the environment, try seeing if you can blend the foreground, middle and background even more together, for example by connecting them by "Visual roads" this does not have to be actual roads just some visual element that crosses over from one plane to the next. Also a good suggestion for…
Making flat stuff not flat. Just messing about with a sketching technique. Can't remember where I saw this technique but its pretty old I think. Making 2D side view thumbnail sketches into a perspective sketches. The focus here was the technique rather than the concept hence the lack of detail in wheels, etc. Was fun to do…
Lineart practice. As I am quite dreadful when it comes to lines. KristianS: "I'm no expert, but... *goes on to post expert quality art* :P Thanks for the tip. Taking life drawing classes at the moment. And I have Loomis' Fun With a Pencil and Figure Drawing for All It's Worth. I will admit to an embarassing near-inability…
Moof: No worries man, keep rocking! You too Daven! Yedp: Thanks yourself! Thumbs look gooood! :D MGrecke: Thank you! Got some nice anatomy and rendering going on there, I was gonna comment that you might need to practice a bit more woman face/skull anatomy (the zombie woman) but your latest pic seems to have fixed that :D…

Don't let the concepts frustrate you when you start working on a piece, since it'll show. Just enjoy and have fun! This is a…
Cheers, tda! The gestures usually take about 30-45 seconds, but I always come back to tighten up and finish the gesture afterward, usually about 5 mins in total. I'm getting faster, just a bit out of practice. Daven: HHHHHHHHOOOLLLYY PISS that's an amazing character concept. Design wise, and execution. Some recent…
Wow, I can't thank you enough Nina! I noticed at one point that my eye had trouble sorting the right side of the sketch as the weight of the line is the same across everything on that side. Now I just have to fix that in my next sketch and hopefully soon I'll be putting in some greyscale values to sort the foreground from…
Hey Darkmag, you touched on a subject I really enjoy. I'm still learning,but hopefully these tips can speed your process or comfort up. When I was in my painting classes there were three important things you need to learn about colour and to consider when laying things down. Value (How bright/dark) Saturation/Chroma (How…
