Jacob Claussen did a beautiful hand painted scene for the King Arthur challenge and talks to us about his process of achieving such a style, the composition of his scene as well as some colour theory and book recommendations. https://www.exp-points.com/hand-painting-stylized-environments
well yeah, the tradeoff you accept when you decide to use a procedural technique rather than taking the time to make something by hand is that you don't get to control everything by hand. it is possible to generate some pretty decent base shapes for further processing with this tool - it could also be improved significantly
Been trying my hand at, hand painting textures... these are, kind of my first real attempt at serious hand painting. Some Zelda fan art... that I plan to expand upon soon. Not happy with this...
