Hi guys =)

I've been asked to make a tutorial on digital painting, and so here it is.. at last. I decided to do a still life painting as it's a brilliant exercise for both you and me.

You will need the following for this tutorial:
An apple (any fruit really), or a reference picture.
A Wacom tablet.
Knowledge in Photoshop or Painter etc.
Patience

I hope to see many outcomes =) have fun!

Omg, this looks SO real... I'm trying today to learn from ZERO photoshop, i'd love to make drawings like these.

Guy, you rule! I hope to become asap like you (or maybe like your right hand, just for start )

Oh, 1 thing. Is it necessary to do things like these (and other small works) to get a tablet? And how much are they?

Thx in advance, and keep up the good work!

the shape of the apple looks a bit strange
and maybe less greens?

Cheers Panzer =) Takes time and effort but i'm sure you have it in you. A tablet is absolutely necessary for an exercise like this, you won't be able to do it with a mouse >Carpal tunnel alert! I reckon a Wacom Intuos 3 mid size is around 100-150 quid nowadays



I picked that particular apple because of it's odd shape, more interesting that way. For the same reason I may have exaggerated the colours a wee bit!

I had Gregory for lunch today, he was right on the edge, bit soft here and there. Freaked my mind.

Nice tutorial. Ofc, I'll try it (after I wake up)

Thanks triss =)

And a banana..

the banane looks well only the steml would have to stand a little bit more forwards

negative, it looks fine. if it where a real banana the stem probably wouldnt look much diff.

Thanks!



Fruits don't have a 100% consistent anatomy which is why they vary in shape and colour

haha and the last sentence of death note, great.
rly great tut and nice outcome..will try it later or so i guess, thanks ^^
