Hey everyone! I’m trying something new and I want to share it with you all. I am working on a new character portrait and recording a video tutorial, in real time of how I paint these things. For this painting I am working on a portrait of Glactus as proposed by awesome artist and friend Mike Maihack. It didn’t take much of a nudge because I love Galactus so much 🙂 I have posted the first video up which just takes you from my first drawing up to a basic toned image. Along the way I talk about how I do all of this and share some thoughts on beginning to learn digital painting. Hopefully you enjoy it!
Here is the basic drawing and image we ended up with by the end of the video.
I will be only working on this painting in my videos so you won’t miss anything. Please feel free to leave questions for me and I will be happy to talk about them in future videos! Thanks for coming by!
If you are wanting to learn about how I made my most recent graphic novel you can find more details at http://www.adamsvillecomic.com
How did you start off with the first tone for the helmet? I think I missed that part. I can see from there how you decided based on that one, but what process did you start with? Were you using opacity to start that off, or did you just choose a gray?
Hmmm, honestly a bit confused by your question. Maybe we can chat about it next time on the Skypes.
