Finally another video! I hope to do a few more over the holidays. Did I mention it's the holidays? I shall not deny that my heart has greatly desired this.
In case anyone is interested in the ...

Here he is in all his feathery glory! Treating him with a lot of lift-off techniques (and the puns never end!) was really unusual, and it shows in the end result - but I really like how it turned out....

Okay, something I did NOT expect to learn from Rebecca was new watercolour techniques! =O I'd never really done any lifting off of colour after the paint was dry, as it went against an inner desire to...

I've been on the fence with his hair colour - red seemed nice, but too close to the Wagnerian Loge, and besides, the colour scheme of the piece really left me no choice but blond.

There is some news on the art books. It starts bad, as you can see, and then gets pretty good.
I got my 125 copies from Oloris Publishing last Tuesday - and nearly a heart attack. The printer ...

Another upside of really good lighting reference: Rendering with paint becomes so much easier, and you just know where the lights and shadows go, because you arranged them to be there.

Another SmArt School output! Gosh, it's incredible how much I'm learning. I'd say the main thing I'm learning is to kill my attitude of "Nyaaah, that'll turn out fine somehow. No need to put in...

I suppose I'm a reference convert now. Look at those feathers! I mean, I can do feathers, but building that stuff yourself, angling it so it's exactly what you want, and then photograph it so see how ...

It's weird how this guy has all of three lines in the entirety of the Star Wars movies, and can still be such a sweetheart. Hope you like him, Jennifer! ^^

Rebecca's advice on Tuesday basically was, reference the crap out of everything.
So, I pasted actual feathers to a scarf of mine and draped it round my shoulders, took photos of &n...

Comiciade output #4: Another ink test, with a slightly less scribbly approach than the last. I do like this, but it's so scary that there's no way to creep up to the line you want!
