As i've started to make my youtube page just for academic reasons i was browsing around tutorials for digital painting as it's something i know i have to get better at. I came across a picture of Darth Maul from star wars and as i'm a mega fan i clicked on it to find that is was actually a speed painting tutorial. I hadn't watched one before and the guy doing it was so instructional an helpful that before i knew it i had watched the whole thing and had found another one. I gave it a quick go to find that the way i was doing it i felt like i was thinking too much about how to do it instead of looking at the colours and blending them. I messaged him for him to reply instantly bless him, he gave me good advice and gave me a list of tutorials and helpful tips from his website that would guide me in the right direction. I'm gonna keep practising and watching his tutorials as they are just really good, if you haven't seen any of them just scroll down and check them out. I think i may also invest in a bigger graphics tablet as mine is ok for the time being but it is very small.
I've noticed as well that i need to get a better idea and concept of lighting and shading in digital artwork, such as the colours that work well together and the layers in which you should apply them, dark to light or light to dark. Idrawgirls said it really doesn't matter you get comfortable with a certain way as your learning to do it so that's good. I think it's probably best if i hire some books from the library about lighting or watch some tutorials on it.
