not bad
but try to stick with big blocks of colour m8
big forms of colour blended into shapes, that instantly tells us that what we're looking at is indeed an apple, without all the details.

intredasting

this is what I wanted to do, just imply things, but when I had it all blocked out without those little detail lines following the form, it looked super flat, especially while I was using a hard brush so the colors (even though I really only used like 2 hues with different values) werent blending and it just looked like a shitty vector kind of


And when I tried to use big brushes, the brush strokes flattened it out too.. maybe I should be blending with some other brush I am thinking?


ugh I am so confused

mind ss'ing the brushes you're using?
though brushes have nothing to do with successful painting, just wanna see what you're workin with

yea I know brushes dont make people good painters but I need to learn how to use my tools effectively

thats my hard brush settings, pen pressure on flow jitter and opacity jitter, and pen pressure on size jitter (minimum 70%) with airbrushing and smoothing. I have the same setup on my soft brush and flat brush, though I never use them. I downloaded those three brushes from some tutorial for first time digipainters, the guy reccomended I delete every brush in my thing and replace them with those three brushes but I just added the brushes instead.

aright, instead of spamming your thread, you got msn/skype?
If you're keen on learning to paint, i don't mind doing a one on one with ya

went for it again after a little demo from TS helping me use color more effectively


not the same level of detail cus it took like 1/3 of the time as the other but the colors are waaaay better, i worked from picture this time, might try another from life though.

i dont think my ref was a good pick cause it was super saturated, for me this was a massive fail IMO and was reluctant to post it but its a progress thread so il do better next time
