Well, I promised a while back that I'd try to get another tutorial made over winter break, so here it is! I had wanted to do another video tutorial, but just don't have the time to plan and edit one right now, but I'll try to get some time-lapsed videos out sometime.
Apologies for the massive walls of text, but I wanted this tutorial to go beyond just what tools and step-by-step processes to use; there are plenty of those tutorials floating around, but very few that focus on the real foundations of making an image. Hopefully this will be useful in both areas!
Let me know if anything's unclear or needs correction!
Put in the Corel Painter category because technically the image was done in Painter, but this can be applied to pretty much any software.
This tutorial sounds just like my 2-D and art history professors! On another note, it's very helpful to see the process step-by-step. I've always had a good understanding of values, but when it comes to transitioning into colour? I am so lost... Fortunately, your tutorial helped me grasp a better understanding of how to apply colours consciously, which seems like 'common knowledge,' or knowledge we all learnt (as artists or not) in primary and secondary schools the way you explained, ha.
Anyway, like the rest, I am thankful for your surprisingly thorough tutorial that just so happens to make sense - as a bonus, of course. (Thumbs up.) Now let me see if I can apply this knowledge accordingly... I have terrible sense of colour palettes, ha ha.
Take care, I look forward to admiring your future pieces.
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful for you! It's definitely tough to transition from value to color, the key is definitely to simplify it as much as possible.
I'm pretty sure I read this when you got the DD and I had no idea what any of it meant. But reading this now, wow, it's helped so much! Recently I've been trying to focus on my values (because I get too caught up in pretty colours) and this'll definitely be good to look back upon :3
Cool, glad it's been helpful to ya! Definitely re-reading tutorials and stuff years later can make a lot more sense, haha. I'm still having moments where something I heard years ago suddenly makes sense.
i've been creeping through your gallery, and your works are all beautiful but i especially enjoy your detailed tutorials! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to create all of these!! they really help explain or clarify many things, i will definitely be referencing them in the future. Thank you!!
