Don't mind me, I have no idea what I'm talking about most of the time

@kubba, I meant in technical terms alone of course. He makes sense that not a lot of self teachers will truly understand until later on with experience

22 Jul 23:31

Yeah definitely

Not sure about the matrix, it seems a bit less practically useful, but watching him explain his painting process is infinitely useful

Cool - thanks Amit - Shaddy's videos really boosted my art up a level last time I watched them - will give them another go.

Lots of different techniques art....can't go into them here. Most approximations say get a base temperature balance in with your first layers such as colour and overlay (dangerous because it changes values) , but basically at some point you have to get into overpainting directly, or you won't get enough coloir control an variation in there to make peiece vibrate. Totally depends on your style. Check out shaddy safadis vids on painting for free on his youtube. Best workflow process, ever. Ever!

By the way does anyone have any tips for transitioning from a value sketch to adding colour? Do you guys use some kind of automatic feature in Photoshop to do it or do you just paint over the top of your greys with colours of the same value?

"Instead of obsessively weighing yourself, use your clothes to gauge your progress. Wear these every week to see progress." Got to purge my very own sketchbook spammer. Oh joy, I feel he may have some hidden words of wisdom though?
