Edit: OMFG. Overnight, this has suddenly become overrated.

Haha just kidding... but... um... it's going to be impossible at this time for me to thank everyone who bombed my inbox with

s and

es and comments and such.

So I'm sorry but all I can manage right now is a collective thank you. I mean every letter of it.

Truth be told, even if I said I was "just having fun" I was thinking of including the faces in the manual I'm co-authoring at the art school where I work. So yes, use them for reference and practice, that's what they're for!

I'd also like to thank everyone for their suggestions on what faces to do next but I don't think I want to risk another message center explosion... well that, and/or being accused of attention whoring... so how about you people draw your own?

So it's the return of the Walkthroughs!

Not going to explain much about the process, but more so my thoughts behind each section.

(1) The Initial layout. When I was informed of this project I got excited as I'd finally have an official piece in Marvel VS Capcom (and my first Official MARVEL piece).
As a tribute to the My Gho-Strider piece, I decided to draw up Strider and Ghost Rider.
It was a basic layout but something effective I felt.

(2) So shortly after I was then informed that what was required was at LEAST 3 from MARVEL and 3 from CAPCOM.
Sure, eventhough whilst knowing the time I had to work on this was very short, Being the masochist that I am I just KNEW that I was going to end up doing more than 6 characters. Heck I would've attempted what *alvinlee did up by having all 50 characters, but I didn't have the time that he had to work on it, so it's all good.
With that said, I selected the few characters that I wanted to include. Not the common ones that you'd probably expect from me, but the ones that I simply felt like drawing up.
I tell you, Drawing up a layout with the characters interacting is both fun and challenging.

(3) As I had hoped, the layout was approved and the Lineart was drawn. 100% Digital lines for this one as I did not have any paper with me at all. Fun few hours that was!

(4) Highlights and Shades in Greyscale! Yep I enjoy switching up my process when colouring. Sometimes flats first, sometimes rendering first. Whatever I feel like doing first really. I really regretted shading Shuma-Gorath the way I did . . painstaking, but I suppose worth it.

(5) Something I figure I'd experiment with. *shrugs*
Tinting shadows and all that stuff. Helps with depth and variation.

(6) Flats now applied! Not much to say here.

(7) Added some slight tints and fades and blurs. All to add more depth and separate the foreground to the background.

(8) Ta Dahhhh, Final product.
Did up the Fire (love doing fire in celshades), GR's chain and some more extra stuff to spiff it up.
REALLY enjoyed this piece.

Cheers for viewing, and for reading all this, hah!

STEP 1:

For the first step I decide what the subject matter is going to be and what idea I would like to express in the piece. For this I decided to go with a 40s style housewife while incorporating the same peek-a-boo style good girl art of the same era. 2 of my favorite artists are Norman Rockwell and Gil Elvgren. Norman, for his ability to tell a story in one single image. Gil, for his innocent way or expressing female sexuality with his amazing pin-ups. If you want to see more of their work, google either of their names and prepare to be amazed. For this reason I decided to do a Elvgren style pin-up with the story sensibilities of Norman Rockwell.

I decided to go with a woman trying to bake some cookies but realizing (thanks to her cookbook) that she has used salt instead of sugar while, at the same time, her dog is cautiously sniffing a splatter of batter she dropped on the floor. I begin with a sketch of the main character of the piece. I heavily reference old catalogs from Sears and Woolworths from the 40s to get the little details right like her hair, the shoes, dress, and stockings. I sketch completely in Photoshop CS1 using a Cintiq21UX and some custom brushes I found on line here: [link]

Once I'm happy with the sketch I move on to the background. In this case I decide to use Google Sketch-up to do the background to save some time and the get the dimensions correct. If you have never used Sketch-up I would highly recommend you go and check it out: [link] . That being said, here is my disclaimer concerning using Sketch-up. Just like anything else Sketch-up is an artistic tool but it can also become a crutch especially to those that have not learned how to draw backgrounds or gained an understanding of perspective and scale. I use Sketch-up because it is insanely faster than hand drawing a background but if my computer were to blow up tomorrow I could sit down with a pencil and paper and draw the background by hand. If you have practiced and taught yourself to draw backgrounds and want to try Sketch-up to speed up your process then by all means, please do. But, if you haven't put the man hours into learning the ins and outs of perspective, demension, and scale then please put down your mouse and pick up a pencil. If you need some help please check out the amazing book on perspective and backgrounds called Perspective For The Comic Book Artist by David Chelsea. Here's am Amazon link to help you out: [link]

I find a model I like in Sketch-up as well as some of the smaller things like the stool she is sitting on and the 40s style mixer she will have on the counter next to her. I place everything in the right spot in the model and use the zoom and rotate tool to get the background in the dimensions I will need for the piece. Once I'm happy with it I export the piece as a 2-D flat image into my photoshop and line it up with the original drawing. I use levels and the poster edge filter to turn the Sketch-up image to a simple black line image. At this point I go in and start drawing in the little details I will need to complete the layout including the salt box, cupcakes and tray, the towel, and the dog as well as the cookie dough on the floor.

Now it's time to print the image for inking. I flatten the image so all layers in Photoshop and merged together into a single image. I make sure the image is set to RGB color and go into Image>Adjust>Color Balance. I take the scale and move it all the way over towards CYAN on the top scale and all the way towards BLUE on the bottom scale. This will turn your image blue but it will still look dark. I think go into Image>Adjust>Hue and Saturation and take the lightness scale up to around 96%. This will make your image look extremely light but it will still be a bit too gray. I then go back into Image>Adjust>Color Balance and repeat the same steps with Cyan and Blue to make it look extremely light blue. The image above is darker than my actual formatted piece so you can see how it looks. If you've followed the steps correctly, your image will be light enough to be slightly visible but not at a distance from your monitor of more than 5 or 6 feet. At this point I set the size of the image to 13X19 and print it off on my Epson Stylus R1800 photo printer for inking. Check out Step 2 for the next step in the process.

Hope you dig!

It's of Juli from the Street Fighter Alpha series of games.

So as you's can see, not much has changed in how I get it done, but anyway here we go.

1) This rawscan shows the baseline sketch of the character.
Drawn using a 4H lead pencil, I quickly sketch in the primary figure using loose shapes.

2) Shows a clearer version of step 1 achieved via PS-Levelling.

3) Following the guides shown on steps 1 and 2, I then drew in the lineart using a BIC Grip Roller pen and a ZIG Millennium 005 pen.

4) Now using various sized black Sharpie markers, I then added the finishing touches to the piece by applying the shadows to Juli's outfit.

5) Shows a clearer version of step 4 achieved via PS-Levelling.

1- Lineart~ I used HB lead on high quality copy paper (it's really white and smooth, the one with the Aa on the cover). Scanned it and tinted it green in photoshop. Why green? I don't remember!

2- Though i liked the single pistol, I think there were a few girls I designed already at this point who had pistols, so I decided to give her something different. I referenced some kinda AWP sniper rifle. I also wanted her to look more 'enforcement' like, so I gave her pants. Mr poncho also gets some love.

3- Made a new layer and filled it with this peachy color as a base.

4- I thought a gradient base wash would be interesting, although it has little effect on the character. It does however, make me look at the entire image as a whole differently. Slapped some skintones on her on a Soft Light layer.

5- Put a multiply layer on top and started to work in some shading to her skin, and some reds to her cheeks.

6- New layer again, but this time just a normal one to paint over the details on her face and head.

7- Same as 6.

8- Same as 6, but I started to shade the vest here as well. Also added a giant green K to the top left for no apparent reason...

9- I don't know if you'll notice this from the jpg, but I lowered her head beacuse her neck looked too long. Also darkened the vest with a multiply layer. The girl to the left becomes BB Hood....

10- Here I work on the rendering of the vest, gun and pants. Everything for the past few stages have just been painting and rendering of details. With a little bit of adjustment to proportions. Oh yeah, Gouken shows up for some reason...

11- Everything gets brightened, her uniform turns blue, and I finish rendering the rifle.

12- Added the little trinkets and decals. It's pretty much done at this point. Time to whitewash!

Final- The final version was brightened up even more, and some minor details are touched up.

deviantPLUS is a custom user script written in javascript. It runs each time you visit deviantART and attaches a toolbar to comments, journals, forums, notes, shoutboards, deviation descriptions, and pretty much anywhere else you can type on dA. The toolbar has buttons for things such bolding, italicizing, underlining, hyperlinking, etc.

Version 3 is a complete rewrite, re-introducing the Preferences panel that was available in earlier versions and adding the ability to create and edit buttons. The design has also been completely redone with new toolbar and button graphics by ¢mynti.

Significant programming and design work was also done by `electricnet and =Solitude12.

A big thank you to ¢mynti, `electricnet, and =Solitude12 for their contributions to this script. Without you guys I doubt this thing would ever have been completed

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS SPECIFICALLY A POSING TUTORIAL. The female figures used are exaggerated to help accentuate what is normally hidden/too subtle to identify and to differentiate between the different portions. The angling of the poses are of an expressionate and confident nature to once again stress the different portions when posed in various ways. This is NOT a tutorial about human anatomy.

Here's the workshop I did for ImagineFX for their 49th issue (November 2009). In terms of layout, this is my own personal version with some extra features. I shared as much as I could for the time I had, so I hope this will be helpful to you guys!

..Okay, I know "efficiency" isn't the sexiest thing in the world. There are flashier, more attractive tutorials out there but I thought it might be useful to put together a basic bundle of tutorials focussed on helping you work faster in Photoshop.

You can have a look at the little table of contents panel to see if you already know this stuff.
If everything here is new to you, and if you go through the whole tutorial, you should work twice as fast the next time you paint something. ..so you can spend less time messing around with menus and more time painting.

I think I was planning on saying more here than I can remember right now but if I come up with anything, I'll update.

EDIT:
Jesum crow, it's a DD!
Thanks to everybody who's favourited and commented and found it useful ...and to ^znow-white for featuring it and ~the-arkz for suggesting.
It wasn't a waste of time after all.
I want to bring your attention to two comments made below: (edited for brevity)

"Doing create workpath like that creates an insane amount of unnecessary paths, much easier to use the pen tool and make the points yourself.
The reason why so many path points is bad is because if you were to make that a .tiff file with the workpath as a clipping path, the filesize skyrockets."

"Using the pen tool is much more efficient for your 'path follow' part, but each to their own I guess."

My response to these was along the lines of these techniques being for quick digital paintings as opposed to hi-res, multi-layered Photoshop extravadanzas and that doing it this way is quicker than tracing manually woth the pen tool.

If you're going to work on huge files and doing a lot of vector stuff, take these comments into account.

Im extremely fortunate to have others interested in what my process is and I really havent delivered up until now for really a myriad of reasons.
The first being that I only work on 2 layers and the work tends to evolve very quickly and Im simply not in the mindset to stop my groove and take a screencap.

The other reason is is that I dont want the friggin mess in my folders! Its too much clutter and the 2 very fragile little braincells that are left in my skull simply cant be bothered to find out why it would even be a relavant wip to keep anyway!

Well we all happened to luck-out on this comission becasue I had to keep WIP shots to send in to Bungie to discuss changes, these jobs commonly are heavily directed and have the input of many people to make them all happen. Bungie was really, really awesome to work with, they really helped me pull the best out of this composition given the timetable for the final.

Ive gone ahead and numbered them just in case there are any questions.

Thank you very much for taking the time and interest in my art, it means a lot.

Very best wishes to you! ]]>

Yeah...finally....

A walktrough slash tutorial by me. Please don't mind the bad grammar an stuff.

And please keep in mind that I'm still learning. Last year my paintings weren't really good compared to now(I was a lineart guy my whole life). This year I had a bit more time on my hands to practice, so my stuff looks better now..

....but that doesn't mean I could'nt tell shit.

..still so much to learn... -_-

Hope you'll find it helpful, though.

It's nothing special, just my thoughts doing this piece.

Why Photoshop?
-I've had bad issues with Painter, Photoshop has a lot more tools and can have a lot of the same custom brushes. Photoshop is not the ultimate best choice, but it works the best for what I want.

Whats with the moles?
-THEY'RE BIRTHMARKS AND FRECKLES.

Well, it is the Holiday season, and my one year anniversary on DA present to you.

(Be patient for the download, I made it nice and big so you can see it properly)

So this is a pic that I did this summer past for the Udon's Art of Capcom art book. Originally this was the image that I did the tutorial on, but in a last minute decision, it was decided that I do a tutorial for the AOC cover I did instead. [link]

If you bought the Udon's Art of Capcom book and read my tutorial in there, you will see some very big similarities in the text as i lifted almost 80% of it for that tutuorial as well.

One thing I will say about this tutorial is that if you are expecting some high tech awesome layer nonesense you will not find it here. I work as simple as possible and anything I do here you can do on your comp with either Photoshop or Photopaint.

For this image I used Corel Photopaint to colour it. This is just one style of colouring, but the base technique can be used in so many ways. Over the last 10 years of proffessional work, this is the most streamlined technique that I find myself using often.

In the end, you use as many lense flares and fancy-pants filters as you please, but this stuff is basic enough that even a beginner can benifit from it.

Hope you like it!

I will try to answer some of the questions I don't feel are answered in the text. Don't just rifle off questions without reading the text once or twice within the tutorial.

---------

Wow quite the response for this one! I can't reply to all the notes and comments, so i will say it here:

I am glad you like it and Thank you very much for the support! ]]>

Or at the very least, designed to be inserted at the top of your list of brushes as an essential starting collection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 3! What's New?
- This is now an extended version of the older V2 set, (from 1.8MB now to 32MB,) containing the brushes I use often in my day to day Photoshop drawing and painting.
- Things to note: a few brushes have been removed because I never used them due to their rather uselessness. The "Knife" brushes in particular have been removed, and replaced by "Broad Tip 1 & 2" under the Flats Set.
- A fantastic painting set "Triangle Brushes" by Joshua James has been added to the Painting section, and I've been using these on almost everything since I found them.
- Also new are a bunch of sponge / spatter brushes I've been using often as texture bases to painting. Useful!
- The Chalk brushes are also a pretty essential part of Photoshop in general, so I've added a section just for them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

About This Set
I borrowed an organizational method here that I saw Feng Zhu use in his videos. Create numbered brushes that go at the start of each row. (Note these number brushes are not supposed to be used.) They divide the brushes into the sections seen above in the preview, that way you quickly know which section you're in while browsing in icon view. The trick, however, is that you have to resize your brush window to the correct width to place all the numbers on the left-most column.
The blank 1px brushes are merely spacers. They contain no brush data. These can always be swapped out for your own brushes you'd like to add to those sections, if you like, or duplicate them to make full rows just in case things aren't lining up evenly.

Many of the brushes in this set have been made by me, but a good number of them have also been downloaded or shared to me by friends. I don't have all of the credit information for them. I've labelled brushes in the set with proper credits to their creators as I know of them, but if you see a brush of yours in here and it isn't credited to you, let me know!

Enjoy this new set, it improves greatly on the old set while remaining easy to navigate thanks to organizing it all.

Now you might be like "Why such a small list?" I don't mean this in an arrogant way , but I can really achieve any feeling I want with these brushes, just get used to them, play with it and it'll work out! They did for me.

I have a run down below on what each brush is used for in a painting:

Brushes

Standard Brush: This is what I use to drop my basic colors when quickly slapping down what I want. I seldom use it for actual detailing, but if I need to block in thick patches I'll use this brush.

Detailing Painting Brush: My favorite brush next to the fur brush. This one is simply used to get those nooks and crannies. If I were to use the brush above for 25% of the painting, this would be the other 75%.

Lighting Brush You know all those lens flares, over bright lights, shiny glowing areas I do? This is the brush. Use it softly and you'll achieve a nice bloom in your lighting.

Detailing Lighting Brush For tinier spots, harder lighting areas.

Texture Brush: I use this brush mostly for pores, dabbles on the skin, bumpy surfaces, or just to give texture to skin in general. Works like a charm.

Hair Brush/Smudge Brush Pretty Self Explanatory. Do I start off painting hair with this brush? No, I use the Standard Painting Brush then I go over it with this brush to create the strands/etc. As for the smudging, this is my ideal color mixer when I need to blend tones, acts like a bristle brush and merges all those nice colors together to create a creamy feel.

Chalk Brush: I use this for clouds sometimes, smoke, or just patching in colors. Works better than I can explain.

Hard Ink Brush: This I use rarely, but when I do use it, it really helps. Usually for adding glare, or tight highlights on certian objects to make them pop. Like the girls earring.

Texture Brush # 2 : This one I use a lot to get nice pores, that sweaty look or just overall skin texture.

Cloud Brush #1-3: Used to paint clouds, nuff' said.

Abrams Lighting Brush: I love this brush. In my "INSIDE THE BEAST" image, all those lighting effects you guys talked about were used with this brush.

Speckle Brush: Used for skin again, or to dirty something up.

Debris Brush: Need to create dirt flying? Tiny bumps on a sexy leg? This is it sucka.

Fur Brush: UNF! My favorite brush. I use this for skin, fur, cloth, metal, sparks, debris, glass, anything. It's a hard shell to crack, but once you do..it's a GREAT brush.

Pore Brush: Literally my 489474th brush used for skin/pores.

Glass Brush: Used to create shattered glass, papers flying, etc.

Have fun!!

Also, all I ask is if you download them, I don't expect any credit. But at least fav the pack, so they can be seen by more users.

Thank you. ]]>

These are the steps I take for this style:

1) Start off Simple construction lines for her face and overall composition. 10-15 mins

2) Once the sketch is done, set it to 10% opacity and add a new layer on top of it for the clean lineart. 30 mins

3) Remove the sketch layer, add a new one underneath the lineart and throw in some flat colours, usually 60-70% dark of the local colours.

4) After deciding the light direction, start adding values to her face without focusing too much on the details. Pay great attention to the tonal values.

5) Continue to expand the value range of her face, add in the cast shadows and highlights.

6) Move on to her clothings

7) Define the reflective surface of her helmet with reflection to the affected areas.

8) Finish her bra top and complete most of the details.

9) Set the lineart in multiply mode and tint it with the surrounding local colour.

Flatten the layers and blend some harsh lines with Painter's blender - Just Add Water tool.

Add the secondary light source from the left.

Final cleanup and minor adjustments of her face - I shrinked her eyes a little with Photoshop's liquify tool.

Total time - 4 hours. No reference. ]]> [link]

Version en español:

Mis disculpas, como es medio grafico,doy las explicaciones aqui, onda los subtitulos

viñeta 1:Comienzo con un sketch bien sucio y basico en un layer nuevo... mas que nada buscar la pose para que el personaje quede puesto en todo el formato que vamos a usar. aqui no se hace nada en especial, sientanse libres y tiren rayas, lo ideal es soltarse.

viñeta 2: ahora pido un nuevo layer, le bajo la opacidad al boceto. y comienzo a entintar. Uso el brush por default de photoshop, eso si añado dinamics de forma y otras dinamicas en la caja de las brushes (esta en la esquina superior derecha de la pantalla de PS) al aplicar estos efectos, el pincel pasa de ser duro a ser suave y la tableta comienza a funcionar en base a la presion que ustedes apliquen, de esta manera se puede emular un look mas organico apliquen tambien a flow y opacity de brush, dejenlos en un rango entre el 80-90% para acentuar la presion de la tableta.... si quieren sentir un dibujo mas organico, prueben con colocar una hoja de papel roneo entre la tableta y el lapiz, notaran una diferencia

viñeta 3: Aqui comienza la etapa de "color"... pinto en escala de grises. por que se preguntaran? simple, el sol es nuestra unica fuente de luz, sin el todo seria oscuridad. la naturaleza funciona de esa forma "agregando luz a la sobmbra", es por ello que es mas facil agregar luces a un dibujo mas oscuro, que partir de una hoja en blanco. el color es un efecto secundario de la luz, el principal es producir volumenes. un poco como la musica donde existe el bajo y la melodia, uso dos tonos de gris, uno para el basico (que vendria a ser el bajo) y otro para la luz (que vendria a ser la melodia)... se capta la analogia?

eso si, solo en una direccion (imitando el sol)

viñeta 4: ahora las sombras... aqui trato de no sobreproducir mucho, ya que facilmente muchas sombras mal puestas pueden quitarle equilibrio a la composicion. trato de evitar el exceso de negro a no ser que sea para representar una oscuridad total. como se pueden dar cuenta, las lines quedan un poco camufladas por la oscuridad... es una trampilla, eh?

viñeta 5: para que hice un dibujo entintado en un layer? para esta parte!, seleccionen el area, por ejemplo de la piel, pidan un layer nuevo y usen el tarro (en el layer nuevo) con el color que ustedes crean conveniente para la piel, lo mismo con el resto de los elemento... una vez que tengan ese layer con colores planos, denle opcion de multiply y bajenle la opacidad a unos 60-70%, donde el ojo les diga que se ve mejor. como pueden ver el color se blendea con los volumenes

y voila. algunos elemenos como el escudo y la lanza los hice aparte.

viñeta 6: termio el personaje dandole algunos toques que lo sobresalgan un poco, como una luz secundaria (quien haya visto LOTR recordara facilmente su presencia), algunos puntos de luz, tipicos del anime y unas luces cyan de reflejo, que ayudan a restarle planitud a algunas areas. usualmente hago todo eso sobre el mismo layer del personaje, pero si gustan, pueden pedir un nuevo layer y bajarle la opacidad a un 90%, notaran que se blendearan mejor con el color. para suavizar algunas partes, uso la herramienta smudge. generalmente lo hago con el mismo pincel, pero ayuda para los detalles y el acabado. cuando estoy seguro, mezclo los layers (que en total deben ser el del dibujo y el de color) y aplico niveles o correcciones de color para que se lo mas cerca posible a lo que busco y listo... eso es todo amigos!

I took my afternoon off and I needed something freshy to work on... so what could be better than waiting for 9 months before final season of LOST? Yez!

Drawing one of my fav characters. Kate Austen.

I found a cool reference pic and I tried to recreate it on Painter. Considering it took me several hours, I think it's pretty decent so far. I know it needs A LOT more of work. I might find some spare time in this week to finish it.

The rusty and dirty look on the skin was easy thanks to the Artist Oils tool and a weird effect it produces on ocre tones, since it tends to burn a bit the color when using blended bristles or knives. (boring tech talk lol)

I hope you like the outcome.

_{Kate Austen is a character of LOST played by Evangeline Lilly. LOST/Kate/Etc is ©ABC/Disney.} ]]>

Ive gotta say, her face was definitely the most challenging feature of her. Improvising her facial features really gave me a better understanding of how light hits certain areas of the face given its modeling. Gotta really calculate and visualize these things mentally to get what you want if your not working with much reference.

Anyway, just thought Id share some of the process! Enjoy!
