ARgggggg I want to sunder my wacom apart... I'm trying to do a "speedpainting" (or a regular painting for the matter). Basicall I'm trying to just get a rough painting down (similar to the faces made of a few colors that look good no matter what hues are used. usually just a few browns and reds etc.).
Well.. i probably watched almost every single WPE on eatpoo, concept art, and sijun and i still dont get this at all. I see how they do it on there but im an utter failure in real life...
They do it so fast, and ive been trying like 2 hours and it looks liek this:
im trying just to work on the skin.. but ffs.. whats wrong :pissed: :pissed:
1. what brush is usually used in painter to do this?! I've tried like every brush and none of them blend the same way I see in OC (or even close, i know they are different programs). What settings hsould it be at (for the most part)?
2. How do i know what colors i should choose for the shadow. I followed staying in the same value range, but it still looks like he has bruises rather than shadows. none of it looks good at all
blah.. i just dont nkow. how aggravating |

Doesn't matter.

Staying in the same value range is your problem. When this image is desaturated, it looks totally flat because your shadows are almost as bright as your highlights. Make the shadow's value darker, and the other parts a lighter value. You seems to be confusing value and hue. |
