I have one question:

when you paint and are putting down values, do you start with a dark color and work up or start bright and work down or perhaps in a middle color?

I start in the mid range, work down, then lighter... push my shadows further then push my highlights.

Ian - is that done the way you meant? And btw. when will we see more of your stuff?

Svanur - I think it depends on the medium you choose.
But I guess watercolors for example are an exception and what Ian said works for most media.
If you want to look at digital art tutorials go to: www.sumaleth.com/links
If you are interested in traditional media tutorials: www.wetcanvas.com has some good ones.

AndyT: Yeah, I do it in a very similar way. Not as good as Sparth tho! I am more of a Graphic Designer, so thats why you don't really see me posting illustrations much, if at all. This place is the best community and has great feedback and discussion, so I like to hang around.
