Liquify Your Troubles Away


Published on May 12, 2012 by sinixdesign

A demonstration on using the Liquify tool in Photoshop. Along with a couple other minor tools. I don't do much Photoshop work, but there are definitely great reasons to at least use it along with your normal digital painting program of choice

Analysis of Form - Female Bust

Quote:
Published on Jun 3, 2012 by daarken

In this video Daarken will start a drawing from life of a female bust. In this first section Daarken will talk about blocking in the drawing. Since these videos are all filmed in real time, the video is broken up into three parts. This first part only covers blocking in the line drawing.

Published on Jun 3, 2012 by daarken

This is part 2 of a 3 part series. In this video Daarken continues painting the female bust by blocking in value. Next week Daarken will finish up the painting by putting in the final details.

Valve releases useful character design guide

from cgchannel.com ................... Valve’s 18-page Dota 2 character art guide provides a concise overview of key character design concepts, backed up with before-and-after examples drawn from Valve’s own designs for the real-time strategy game.


Valve Software has released a character art guide for artists aiming to contribute assets to its upcoming free-to-play real-time strategy game Dota 2.

In addition to seeing their work within the game itself, item makers will receive a split of the proceeds from sales in the in-game store.

Normally, we wouldn’t cover modding resources like this, but the guide is one of the clearest overviews of basic character design concepts we’ve seen.

In addition to providing a concise introduction to the importance of a clear silhouette, value patterning and a coherent colour palette, the guide explores ideas of rest and detail and of evaluating assets in context.

Backed up by real examples
But perhaps most importantly, it provides before-and-after examples from Valve’s own characters, showing at a glance how these concepts are applied in practice.

If you’re studying CG or want to work in game development, it’s well worth a look.

Valve’s Dota 2 community website also includes a number of other useful resources, including a step-by-step guide to painting textures ( PDF File ) for the game, showing all of the layers and blending modes involved.


Read the DotA 2 character art guide ( PDF File )

Painters Wheel for Adobe Photoshop CS4+

from nerdchallenge.com ............ Love this better then the standard PS color square / picker .


It's free, but you can donate to the author if you want ( which is a good thing 8) )


http://nerdchallenge.com/lenwhite/Le...ers_Wheel.html


How I install The painter wheel to my PS ...

place ( depending on what version of PS you have ) the down loaded file to: Adobe file -> Photoshop -> plug-ins -> panels .

Once that's done - open up PS go to : "window" tab then to "extensions" - check on painter wheel to put a check mark on it and there you go

Photoshop painting tips, 5 ways to find darker color or shadow.


Published on Jul 18, 2012 by idrawgirls

http://idrawgirls.com/tutorials/2012...olor-in-digita... for step by step and brushes download.

Photoshop painting tips, 5 ways to find darker color or shadow.
Value, or lightness, varies vertically along the color solid, from black (value 0) at the bottom, to white (value 10) at the top. Neutral grays lie along the vertical axis between black and white.
Decide what is in light and what is in shadow and don't mix them up. Two values, but if they are well thought out and designed and drawn they can look totally real.

Try to keep everything simple to begin with and focus on these three rules
1) Shapes (Composition, silhouette and/or correct drawing). Just practice a lot of drawing from life and from ref.

2) Values (Let just focus first on get the lighting correctly via monochromatic or achromatic, then you can apply some colors as you advance further in your illustration process. Trust me, this will work. For exercises and more tips on values go see -Values exercises study shade and -Colors VS Values tips and technique

3) Edges (Soft/Hard and lost) In real life most edges look soft because our eyes are constantly moving. An edge will only assume its sharpness if we specifically focus on it. Therefore, it is best to keep the edges soft in general unless you want to draw attention to a certain feature as is the case with the focal area.
