You can use a gradient map on greyscale to have the same result in 5 seconds

>>2634815

You still need to paint the highlights and using layer modes hardly takes a lot of time either. It's not like there is any advanced geometric LAB color hue shifting going on in the tutorial either, so my conclusion is that you're simply throwing out buzzwords without any real knowledge of digital painting. But if you can convince me that gradient maps would be beneficial in this case I'm open minded

Does it make me an idiot if I like to paint everything on one layer instead of using fancy software tricks?

>>2635115
no rules, only tools

>>2635115
Layers are amazing.
You can always create a layer above the one you're working on and merge down every now and then. You can get some clean edges that way

>>2635135
thank you jesus I needed this

>>2635115
The less layers you use the harder yet more rewarding it is. It's very rare to have someone only use one layer.

I've got a bunch of Sakimichan tutorials left over from a darker period in my life if anyone wants them?

Is having a sharp pen nib important?
Mine's been dull as long as I can remember.

>>2635664
If you don't want to ruin your tablet's surface, yes
It doesn't necessarily have to be "sharp", just rounded.

It drives me fucking crazy to draw with a flat nib.

I do not believe you are going to make it friend.

Sorry to distract from the image dump with some meta talk. There's been a serious lack of traditional media tutorials out there, right? It's not just me? I feel like around 2006-2007, all I'd see were Copic tutorial this, Copic that. Are people still interested in these types of tutorials? I'd like to make some more up-to-date tutorials, but not if no one is going to care, you know?

>>2636011
You can't see what isn't there. If you want there to be, you must make.

>> Rude or offensive comments will result in a ban.
Sorry, but /ic/ has the same problem of /i/, /3/ and all other art related boards: absolute lack of moderation. It only ONE mod were paying attention to what happens here, half of the flamers who infest this board would have their IP range banned and we would actually talk about techniques, tools and solutions instead of searching /b/ for new methods to insult flamers back.

Shit "tutorial".
Whilst using curves instead of lines may make things more "interesting" it would be far better to actual consider the lighting/atmosphere and how it would physically alter the base colors in the scene.

Does anyone have any good tutorials on gestures? I've been doing pic related, but apparently it's not gesture, so I'm looking for a tutorial to improve it.

100% OPACITY ONE LAYER FINAL DESTINATION


...that being said, painting on one layer is good for you and your skill. Also in that way you are painting more like traditional painters which will show in your work.

>>2642637
this + turn off turn off ctrl Z, no colour pick, only pick colours using the rgb sliders
I was thinking of doing a challenge based on that at some point

>>2642729
fucking lost it

The expressions in this tutorial in my opinion are a bit lacking but it's good for basics

last one, sorry for the spam /ic/

>>2639351
Thank you kindly, anon. I've been looking for something like this.

>>2642820

thanks for sharing

>>2642645
I agree, albeit I don't have much experience with a tablet. I just think, that you cheat yourself of knowledge if you rely on these "tools" instead of your own abilities. Not only is it a test/challenge, but it will increase your understanding of color theory and help you be more confident in your work!

>>2642637
I try to do 100% opacity 30% flow, one brush, three layers as much as I can.
Do I have autism?

This makes no sense, it's not in order.

Anyone got one that's produce similar to this. Or one that's about decision making when it comes to brushes on form?

Guess I'll post this here. There seems to no longer be any schoolism tuts on CGPeers anymore? Whats up with that? I'm specifically looking for Sam Nielson's Atmospheric Effects

>>2649514

You are in luck, I probably have a lot of them I just need to sift through my backups, Ive been meaning to do that and maybe upload to share or something

>>2649394
I do not understand this.

>>2649514

What kind of tracker is cgpeers? Is it for art tutorials and things like that? What about gfxnews?

>>2649538

tuts, resources, programs, and lots of stuff

Whatever works for you. I keep my layers pane small and flatten down of I ever have to scroll. Layers are great, but too many is just a pain to work with.

This isn't a tutorial but I think it's good to remind ourselves that our outlook and attitude can play a huge part on how successful we are.

Looking for a tutorial on hair using tubes circling around the head like a halo, and then letting ribbons flow into our outside of that tube which creates some guide of sorts. Don't know if I found it on /ic/ or pinterest but now i lost that tab in my browser. Help?

>>2650897
yeah i agree with your idea but some of the things on there are completely wrong. you can watch tv or play video games while being an awesome artist

>>2650897
>people are either x or y

>>2642818
This is by far the most useful tutorial in this thread.

>>2651978
In /ic? Yes.

>>2650897
The first two points don't make much sense.
(I belong to the red part now because I criticize.)

this doesn't mean anything, garbage

>>2651978
I thought atleast art people would understand this.

>>2651972
yeah it's not perfect, i agree with you on that one in particular
but i'm too lazy to edit anything to fit my opinions
I feel it must be outdated because no one even watches TV anymore

>>2642814
>>2642815
Anyone have an English translation of these?

Anime does this shit all the time.

As helpful as these tutorials are, I tend to do monkey see monkey do type of art and have trouble applying them when I need to do straight from imagination drawing

Is there a tutorial for imagination?

Fan art is a great way to easily promote yourself. It's pretty much how every popular artists gets recognition nowadays.

>>2642645
this just seems so fucking ridiculous to me that you're acting like you're some absolute mad man for not using these tools or something

>>2642645

THIS + TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND DRAW USING ONLY PAPER AND COLORED PENCILS.

I challenge u all fags.

>>2655630
coloured pencils are opaque, that makes it easier

>>2655630
That's too expensive to do reliably. You have to look at all your colors. It's better you just learn value through your pencil and once you've got that down, transition to digital is no problem.

>>2655633
I meant not opaque

>>2635503
THIS CITY NEEDS A HERO!

Fuck these old men
>hurr durr you gotta draw with pencils and shit or else you'll never make it

Go fuck yourselves
Layers are the single best tool an artist has

>>2655608

The image is fine if you cut off the first two on both sides. Criticism isn't bad, no.

I don't think it's meant to be set in stone, it's more of a comparison. Healthy traits vs unhealthy traits.

Painting landscapes are a fucking joke, because of how easy they are to do. There's a reason why Bob Ross stuck to doing them instead of portraits or avant-garde pieces.

Your brain can much easily register a bunch of squiggly lines as some grass or an oceanfront with "hyperrealistic detail", and people will succ you off with compliments and compare you to Van Gogh because they conceive that to be deep and masterful.

My god, are there any good ones on explaining how the fuck to draw braids? I can't figure out how to wrap my mind around them and it's proving I'm retarded.
