Gone + Workshop

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 26, 2007, 12:45 AM
Ramblings

Hello guys! For those of you who've been wondering where I've been, sorry for this long absence. I've had a hell of a workload lately, which is good as I'll be getting extra cash that I desperately need (don't we all? =P). Also, my personal life is a bit problematic right now, so added to the little free time I've got, this means I've had to be less active on dA, which unfortunately also includes the workshop that I've been managing.

It's still going on, but on a bit of a hiatus; hopefully, next weekend I'll have another exercise ready, the promised brush tutorial. Meanwhile you can suggest any other themes as always. :)

For those whose comments, favs and watches I've neglected, I appreciate every kind of feedback I get, I can't thank you enough about how you make me feel and what an encouragement your support is. :hug:

Thanks to `nyssi's and =ghostlove's tutorials. You've been very helpful, guys. ^^

Second theme: NOSES

We're going to use Noses

This is a collage of different pictures from *mizzd-stock, so remember to credit her when you submit your finished deviations.
All the images are of the same nose taken from different angles and poses, so we learn how angle can affect the shape of the nose. I think it's important that we pay special attention to how the nose interacts with the cheeks and the rest of the face (the little we see here =P).
So that's it, you can do one, all or wait for the next theme.

Wassup Mansh?

New section where I'll put questions people ask me, so if there's anything you'd like to know about how I paint just ask. :aww:

Q: Where do you start?
A: I used to do lineart on paper and then scan and colour on the computer, but now I do everything digitally. I start with a big brush to shape up the background and then I add any figures that are going to be in the picture, basic lines for anatomy and then fill it using a big brush again. Through trial and error I've found that it's very important to start with the background first to help you set perspective, palette and mood before starting with anything else.
