My favorite is the one in the middle, the black and white makes it feel so powerful.

Since it's super quiet here, three more studies. The first is a promo from the movie Crimson Peak, the second a random picture of an old man on Pinterest and the third some branches. Brushes by Aaron Griffin (the first) and DeHarme (the other two).

Thanks Stoney
and I'm also a big fan of the branches. I had to cut out the bottom of that drawing since it didn't look good. But couldn't throw out the part with the branches.
I saw somebody start their painting with creating a first layer with all sorts of colors and odd textured brushes, which gave the end result an unique textured look. But since I have to correct myself over and over, that the layer underneath was covered with many layers of normal boring brush work. So I added odd brushes again on top, and that doesn't really work as well. :') Still not unhappy with the result though. It's Yennefer btw (The Witcher).

Hi everybody, more spamming by me. On Pinterest I found a picture of Ama de Armas in Blade Runner, never saw the movie but I enjoyed the picture.
Resources: Aaron Griffin, Daydreaming and a texture/painting I once downloaded when it was super often used on Tumblr. But I forgot the source. Sorry!Comment

I completely agree with Double Dutchess - they reminded me of Tintin. I also agree with GoSpuffy. Can't you send a portfolio to Boom and offer to do the new Buffy comics? -

Just some quick sketches of my own REBOOT of Buffy.

Wow, those are awesome!! Did you do other characters too? I'd love to see what you make of the rest of the Scoobies. -
Double Dutchess Thank you soo much! for your comment! I'm currently having some ideas of Willow and Spike

A bit lame after the amazing Buffy's by buffylover, but I finally finished something again. So meet random Pinterest girl....
I've only used the hard round brush (and a brush to smudge here and there).Comment

So this may not be the right thread but I'm thinking of getting into digital drawing. I bought a very good friend of mine, who is an artist, a professional graphics tablet but he had no use for it since he doesn't like digital art. He gave it back (all in good spirit) and thought I would have much more use with it. Since I am not very good with drawing, I thought you guys could help find tutorials to help me get back into it. I used to sketch a good while back and had gotten semi good at it, but any skill I had seems to be gone now. I think I do need basic tutorials for drawing and sketching in general but maybe there's a good middle for the digital drawing part. Any help?

I've been messing around with digital art for two years now and still I can't draw or sketch properly, but I've watched a lot of tutorials and I did manage to go from always using a raster to using the photoshop rulers to not needing either when I make a study of a photo reference. So there is some improvement.Originally posted by Josh View Post

Some of them make a lot of tuts, others just show us their process. Aaron Griffin has my favourite free package of brushes as well. I did download so many sets, but this one is the best IMO. It has all you need. (Brush no. 33 is my favourite for the mixer brush tool.)
Also the old books by Andrew Loomis can be found on the internet. Like this one about the whole figure or this one about the head and hands.
And a few things I learned:- Don't focus on everything at the same time when you're learning. If you make a study and want to focus on the anatomy or likeness, it's okay to borrow a colour palette using the colour picker, use a normal round brush etc. Or when you want to learn more about colour or brushwork, feel free to use a raster (or trace) to set up the sketch.
- Using a raster, a ruler or even tracing isn't evil anyway. Although tracing does require that you mention that when you post your study.
- A basic round brush is the best brush when you're learning. Wonderful things can be done with different brushes, but the round brush is perfectly fine and much easier to use.
- Find a nice brush for the mixer brush tool (like I said, I use no. 33 by Aaron Griffin), it's a tool I've never used before when I made wallpapers. But it's great when you make digital paintings/drawings.
- The cool thing about digital art is that you can use traditional styles while also enjoying the perks of photoshop. In the beginning I felt like I was cheating when I used photoshop tools to create shapes or tweak colours. But after watching many videos by others, I learned that most digital artists do it.
I hope this helped a little bit and I'm looking forward to see your art.Comment

Okay, another study. I've tried two things. The first is that I made no line art and the second was that I took a more traditional approach.
Reference picture is a still from The Miniaturist which I found on the Anya Taylor-Joy fansite. Brushes are by G Rutkowski.Comment

Continuing with my Buffy reboot with quick sketches.

Oh, right! That makes sense from a gaming perspective. It's like those health packs that used to lie around in Doom. (I know , I'm old ;-) ETA: though I see Buffy is wearing a Doom t-shirt, so that still makes me feel a bit cool ;-)Last edited by Double Dutchess; 25-12-20, 11:45 AM. -
You need to design the new Buffy game, Buffylover. Or the next comics. Truly fantastic re-imagining of a classic character. I love the "It's cool, whatever" vibe going on there. -
WOW! thank you so much American Aurora for your comment! Yes! my main idea was a video game reboot. I'm happy that you capture my mood perfectly the "It's cool, whatever" vibe.
