I`m in awe with your ability to see and render all those textures. The difference between black plastic and rubber on the worn controller. That cloth. That metallic can and its lid. The wrappings in different kinds of plastic. The lollypop. The CD. The floor. Epic skills!Β 

And it was posted more than two years ago. By now I you must have "leveled up" so much you must be creating life from scratch, LOL. Like if you drew Michelangelo`s Moses and said "Parla!" at him, this time he might actually answer.Β 

Congratulations.

Thanks so much! Β Your compliment is much appreciated.
I'm applying a lot of this knowledge in my personal work that I haven't been posting, but some day I will, when I feel it's ready

Fuuuuck, this is a painting? *peers closely* I guess it is, I can kind of see it but damn the effect looks so REAL.Β  You could put this next to a bunch photos and I wouldn't bat an eye.Β  How did you get so good at this?Β  What dark secrets are you not choosing to reveal? D: I want to learn how to do this.Β  You got any tips on how to begin?

Suzanne-Helmigh In reply to Sagittarius-A-star [2016-03-23 09:55:56 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much. It all comes down to training your observation skills and learning how to sketch/see the big shapes first before going into detail.Β 
You sort fo have to split it all up in your head in different factions, 1 for dark and light, one for color, one for shape, one for material.

How many layers did you use for this? And do you use smudging a lot?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Suzanne-Helmigh In reply to LittleMissPriscellia [2015-07-18 12:39:32 +0000 UTC]

No smudging. And the layers don't really matter. I make new ones and then I merge them when I am happy. like I do with all my work.Β

LittleMissPriscellia In reply to Suzanne-Helmigh [2015-07-18 13:13:11 +0000 UTC]

Oh ok I see what you did there
Yeah smudging actually takes out the fun in digital painting
I normally use one or two layers, one for base color and the other to draw on to. of the lineart. It's a little sketchy and messy but I love it that way

The controller was 8 hours the whole thing 21
