Does someone know, where to see all of those lessons

Well i am here to tell you that it you don't want to be that person. Million of people every years lose hour of work for not saving up file but you don't have to.

Here a simple tips to avoid such teeth grinding moment.

First of all now a day if you use photoshop there almost no reason for you to worry about losing a file.

If you have photoshop cs6 or more you can enable save in background which is a extremely useful option to avoid losing sleep and hair. 

You can also set the interval at which the program will save. So make sure you have it enable.

But even those photoshop as this fantastic option i can tell you from experience that the best practice for professional is truthfully to set up there own shedule to save file manually i would personally recommend you save the file under a new name every 15-30min(setting a timer to do so would be useful).For some reason even those this incredible feature exist a save file can be corrupt and if you have been working on anything worth finishing you will want to consider make sure to have your work preserve to it most recent iteration

What is worst than losing a file is dealing with a corrupt file and if i can avoid you that well atleast my own headache experience might serve to avoid you one.

That all be safe because it better than being sorry and seriously who want to do twice the job?

If I want to go through the most basic lessons daily, what would you advice are they?

I mean I have an imagination what the beginning is like already, like:


Day 1:  draw a lot of boxes in space
Day 2: draw a lot of boxes with boxes cut out of them in space
Day 3:  draw a lot of other bodies in space
Day 4: make human bodies out of basic bodies in space

and so on,

but how would you continue?

what are the basic things, that one should learn after this?]]>

Since there are a few people on the forum interested in or curious about traditional art/oil painting, I figured I’d make a thread for it. Thought I’d go over whatever seems relevant or interesting throughout the process and maybe it will be helpful to those new to it or those who haven’t gotten very in-depth into painting. I’m not some super big-brained guy that knows everything or the most amazing painter in the world, but it can maybe be helpful to someone and point in the right direction. 

Just as a disclaimer. There are a bunch of different ways of painting and it would be impossible for me to cover everything. What I’ll do is to mostly focus on how I paint but try to include anything extra that may be interesting. I'm also not going super in-depth on every topic because that would way too much for just a forum thread. I'll maybe link to or reference books that expand on anything I bring up. 

Feel free to post questions and whatever comes to mind in the thread. It’s good to know what someone is interested in, confused about or struggling with so there’s a better chance that I say something helpful.

So as I’m in the process of setting things up, I can talk about that. First up, the canvas.]]>

I've started a series of videos on Youtube called '1 Minute Art Skills'. Each video is a bite-sized art tutorial that you can watch and then try out, or pause and draw along with.

The first subject is horses - how to get the correct proportions!  (Specifically in a side-on view) It's a tough one to learn, but important for those of us that enjoy fantasy and historical illustrations. 

Hope it helps someone!

I'd like to share a simple color study I did for learning purposes.

It's a Cornell Box widely known among 3D artists 
but also a great tool for rendering by painting as it gives you sort of a
controlled environment to study concepts like
  • Ambient Occlusion
  • Reflected Light
  • Form Shadoes
  • Cast Shadows

You also see how to colorize over black/white Values.
Each feature is on a separate layer and named so you can understand what it does.

It's more targeted towards beginners I guess, dunno if it helps, take it apart...

Wacom tablets seem to be the most popular.
So I checked their site and I am amazed by how they hit a new user with hundreds of model-names and dont explain what the main characteristics are and why there are always lots of models of the same type and stuff like that.

I spent some hours on their site and on the internet to learn the characteristics a bit.
And because I was so disappointed that there was no good overview for someone new, I made one.

So, if you are thinking about getting a tablet, but you dont know which model to choose or what the difference between those Wacom models is, watch this overview:

I'd like to invite you to share less commonly shared photoshop tricks and techniques.
You know that one thing you always do but you never see mentioned on tutorials? That thing.

Please keep the thread clean and post ONLY straight instructions and what it's for!

I'll start:


Photoshop performance tips:

Scratch disk management: go to Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks

This next window will list all the disks on your system.
Check the disk you want to use as scratch other than the system disk. A minimum of 20gb available is recommended;
Uncheck the disk where the system is installed (usually C: in Windows).

This will reduce the disk access conflicts with the OS, and your big operations will turn more responsive.

Using Photoshop on systems with low memory RAM or extra heavy files:

Working with a lot of big images at once? Working on a image so big your system has loading bars for everything?
Couple of tricks will help your system go through the ordeal:

Go to Edit > Preferences > Performance and lower history states count. 10 is very light on the system; But beware you're will have this much fewer undo levels/history states.

Every time you do a image wide operation, like flipping a canvas, you can go to Edit > Purge > All (or whatever you deem adequate). Purging all WILL CLEAR YOUR UNDO HISTORY (This means you will be unable to undo anything before this operation) but it will also free all your ram and clean the files on the disk. Doing this every so often gives your system breathing room, and sometimes it is the difference between a system crashing and a workable environment.

Specific things can be purged, like your clipboard memory. Just beware that whatever is purged is, you know, really gone.]]>

It important to understand that you are a ever learning person and that mean you will fail and you will make error but that not going to stop you from the goal you set for yourself. Choose actively to see mistake as a way to improve as a sign of your humanity and as stepping stone to whatever objective you might have .

Here what to do to behave in a more positive and optimistic way:

-Allowing yourself to be positive
If you don't allow yourself to be positive you cannot begin to unlocking the power of a positive mindset. Be curious of the positive outcome a problem can generate. You want to be fluid and not magnifiying the negative thought that might cripple you. Have an authentic dialogue with yourself whenever possible it important to be able to recognize the vocabulary you use and it possible effect on yourself.

-Identify areas to change.
If you want to become more optimistic and engage in more positive thinking, first identify areas of your life that you typically think negatively about, whether it's work, your daily commute or a relationship. You can start small by focusing on one area to approach in a more positive way. Be honest and don't be unnecessarily harsh about the thing you did to other or to yourself in the past and be willing to change even if you have problem letting go of habit it only possible if you don't sabotage yourself.

-Be open to humor.
Give yourself permission to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times. Seek humor in everyday happenings. When you can laugh at life, you feel less stressed.

-Check yourself. Periodically during the day, stop and evaluate what you're thinking. If you find that your thoughts are mainly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them. Take a walk and close your cellphone spend sometime with yourself even if the thought of it seem scary alot can be done when we aren't trying to distract were mind from the thing we are running away from. Sure escape might work at time but it not away to live and it generally will make some situation worst over time in some case.

-Get away from people who only try to destroy you're self esteem if possible... if it not possible at least let them know how you feel and ask them how they would feel if they where in you're shoe .If they continue to harass you take action by asking for a transfer or report them to someone who as the power to change the situation if you can you can also avoid them if possible the more you give them the reaction they want the more power you give them to ruin your day don't engage them if you don't have too.

-Follow a healthy lifestyle. Exercise daily to release stress. Follow a healthy diet to fuel your mind and body. Manage your time so you can think in peace as much as possible.

-Surround yourself with positive people. Make sure those in your life are positive, supportive people you can depend on to give helpful advice and feedback. Negative people may increase your stress level and make you doubt your ability to manage stress in healthy ways. You should cut off people who only have negative thing to say but don't turn away from people who say thing you know to be truth just because it hurt special if you know they have your back at that time.

-Practice positive self-talk. Start by following one simple rule: Don't say anything to yourself that you wouldn't say to anyone else(but also don't ignore the thing you know you do that hurt you). Be gentle and encouraging with yourself. If a negative thought enters your mind, evaluate it rationally and respond with affirmations of what is good about you. But also acknowledge that when you bad mouth yourself constantly there a deeper issue that need to be investigated.

-Learn to use a positive vocabulary.

-It doesn't matter what your circumstances are at the present moment. Because you can choose to persevere regardless of the circumstances .You can choose to change what you can at your own speed.

Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
-Increased life span
-Lower rates of depression
-Lower levels of distress
-Greater resistance to the common cold
-Better psychological and physical well-being
-Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
-Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

Here are some examples of negative self-talk and how you can apply a positive thinking twist to them:
Negative self-talk       vs         Positive thinking    
I've never done it before./It's an opportunity to learn something new.
It's too complicated/I will ask for help or i will tackle it from a different angle.
I don't have the resources/I will make sure to gather the resources that i need
There's no way it will work/I can try if i don't try i will never know

It important to understand that you are a ever learning person and that mean you will fail and you will make error but that not going to stop you from the goal you set for yourself. Choose actively to see mistake as a way to improve as a sign of your humanity and as stepping stone to whatever objective you might have .

Here what to do to behave in a more positive and optimistic way:

-Allowing yourself to be positive
If you don't allow yourself to be positive you cannot begin to unlocking the power of a positive mindset. Be curious of the positive outcome a problem can generate. You want to be fluid and not magnifiying the negative thought that might cripple you. Have an authentic dialogue with yourself whenever possible it important to be able to recognize the vocabulary you use and it possible effect on yourself.

-Identify areas to change.
If you want to become more optimistic and engage in more positive thinking, first identify areas of your life that you typically think negatively about, whether it's work, your daily commute or a relationship. You can start small by focusing on one area to approach in a more positive way. Be honest and don't be unnecessarily harsh about the thing you did to other or to yourself in the past and be willing to change even if you have problem letting go of habit it only possible if you don't sabotage yourself.

-Be open to humor.
Give yourself permission to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times. Seek humor in everyday happenings. When you can laugh at life, you feel less stressed.

-Check yourself. Periodically during the day, stop and evaluate what you're thinking. If you find that your thoughts are mainly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them. Take a walk and close your cellphone spend sometime with yourself even if the thought of it seem scary alot can be done when we aren't trying to distract were mind from the thing we are running away from. Sure escape might work at time but it not away to live and it generally will make some situation worst over time in some case.

-Get away from people who only try to destroy you're self esteem if possible... if it not possible at least let them know how you feel and ask them how they would feel if they where in you're shoe .If they continue to harass you take action by asking for a transfer or report them to someone who as the power to change the situation if you can you can also avoid them if possible the more you give them the reaction they want the more power you give them to ruin your day don't engage them if you don't have too.

-Follow a healthy lifestyle. Exercise daily to release stress. Follow a healthy diet to fuel your mind and body. Manage your time so you can think in peace as much as possible.

-Surround yourself with positive people. Make sure those in your life are positive, supportive people you can depend on to give helpful advice and feedback. Negative people may increase your stress level and make you doubt your ability to manage stress in healthy ways. You should cut off people who only have negative thing to say but don't turn away from people who say thing you know to be truth just because it hurt special if you know they have your back at that time.

-Practice positive self-talk. Start by following one simple rule: Don't say anything to yourself that you wouldn't say to anyone else(but also don't ignore the thing you know you do that hurt you). Be gentle and encouraging with yourself. If a negative thought enters your mind, evaluate it rationally and respond with affirmations of what is good about you. But also acknowledge that when you bad mouth yourself constantly there a deeper issue that need to be investigated.

-Learn to use a positive vocabulary.

-It doesn't matter what your circumstances are at the present moment. Because you can choose to persevere regardless of the circumstances .You can choose to change what you can at your own speed.

Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
-Increased life span
-Lower rates of depression
-Lower levels of distress
-Greater resistance to the common cold
-Better psychological and physical well-being
-Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

There's no way it will work/I can try if i don't try i will never know
