I think it'll be helpful for you as an artist to not even think about this as hand-painting, just think about it like regular painting. It's basically painting in the larger art scheme of things. The funny thing about "hand-painting" is that it requires you to actually learn how to paint in the first place, it's not really…
Hey everybody. Loving everybody's hand painting that I took a chance to do one myself. No background in traditional painting or digital. I found a concept art done by Dan Scott on while browsing on Pinterest. Here is what I got so far. I wanted some critique on this. Not sure if I'm going about this right.
