Re: Teach me 2 art?
Hey man, that's a good starting point, but I've recently discovered something myself that might help you on your rendering. Your rendering is very contrasty, using the entire value range on light objects, and almost all of the range on dark objects. But it's rarely this way, you only see that kind of lighting in a very… -
Re: Teach me 2 art?
Nono, what I mean is a bright material in a light environment will not have dark shading except for occlusion, like this. The light skin doesn't get very dark except for occlusion areas, and the dark hair doesn't get bright, except for highlights. Your paintings have dark objects going up to almost white, and bright… -
Re: Teach me 2 art?

I wonder if I'm so concerned with painting technique that I forget to tell a story or add real conceptual… -
Re: Teach me 2 art?
Why hello, people of polycount. I drew this sketch yesterday: I'd like to take it to a finished concept level. After re-reading the thoughts on this thread, I set things up a little differently layer-wise than I typically work (I.E. actually using layers): And without the lines: That's what I've got so far. Every color is… -
Re: Teach me 2 art?
Hey, Makkon, thanks for all the feedback lately! I need to get a thorough understanding of layer masks and how they work. It seems like sometimes I can't get them to do anything or work at all. Maybe I'm just doing things out of order, but in any case I don't understand them well. I agree that multiple, distinct layers…
