Speed painting figure study back. Here is another step by step study from me. I’ve been trying to do a lot of painting to warm up before I start doing a real illustration. Though I have to admit that most of the time the warm up quick paintings can turn out better than the actual painting that I am trying to do for no reason. Usually I will spend an hour and half or two hours max to warm up, in my opinion it should be less than an hour to warm up. Though sometimes an under painting of a piece under an hour has potential then I got carry away and spend more time than I need to for the warm up. If you don’t know what speed painting is here is a somewhat definition of it. I could be called color and composition sketch.

Cintiq 12wx

Auf psdtuts+ gibts eine wirklich gute Übersicht zum Thema “Welches Grafiktablett passt zu mir?“. Ich kann diesen Artikel nur jedem ans Herz legen, der mit dem Gedanken spielt, sich ein Tablett zu kaufen.

Weiters kann ich Unschlüssigen den Tipp geben, einfach einmal auf einer Roadshow, Messe oder Veranstaltung vorbei zu kommen und die Tabletts live in Action zu sehen und auch gleich auszuprobieren!

Jetzt aber zum Artikel:

How to Choose a Graphics Tablet that Fits Your Needs

The first time I tried a Wacom tablet is only comparable with the day I discovered Photoshop, bought my first laptop, tested an Apple computer or I met my girlfriend for the first time – geek joke, honey. But, why are Wacom tablets so special? In this post we’ll review the advantages of these tablets.

Choosing the Correct Tablet

1. In my opinion, it must be a Wacom tablet.
2. The most relevant technical specification is pressure sensitivity. The more, the better.
3. Smaller tablets are better, cheaper, easier to fit into your desktop, and they work just like the bigger ones. I would only choose the big model if you’re going to use it for CAD.
4. Think about the use you’ll give to your tablet. If you want if for painting, coloring and photo manipulation, it will be 100% useful. For drawing, only Cintiq models are really good, and for designing, you need no more than a mouse.
5. There are second hand markets or brand new old models. They are really worth checking.

Nettes Zitat aus dem Artikel:

Now, I use my Intuos 3 only when I travel, and I find it very difficult. Moral: Don’t try the Cintiq if you can’t afford it.

Und ja, es stimmt absolut! Ich fürchte mich schon davor wenn das neue Cintiq 21UX bei mir aufschlägt!

45 Amazing Digital Portraits auf abduzeedo

I simply love digital portraits… they can be drawings, paintings & airbrushing or whatever other technique you may like. I think it’s pretty impressive the talent that some artists have on creating digital portraits that are amazing. Amazing for its realism, perfection, lines or even for its details. Maybe I like digital portraits so much because I totally suck drawing and I can only imagine people actually doing portraits so realistic that you may be confused if you are looking for a real photo or not.
