LIVE tutorials coming soon!

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 30, 2009, 3:42 PM

Hey guys, I want to do my first live painting session through the site Livestream soon, where you can watch me work and ask questions or chat with other viewers! I decided I'll do something easy and fun, like custom brush creation.

A lot of people use them, but I bet many of you just download brushes instead of making your own. I'm going to show you how easy it is to make awesome custom brushes instead of spending a ton of time hunting for what you need, and having it still not being quite what you want.

I'll go through the basic steps and show you how to make a few different types of brushes and walk through some of the more important settings. I plan to cover a skin texture brush and a cloud brush.

But help me out!

This is where I want your input. Give me some other type of brushes you'd like to see, and I'll see if I can fit the most popular ones in as well.

I'll let you guys know beforehand when I'm going to do it, but don't worry if you miss it, you'll be able to watch it later on-demand on the site.

The catch is, until I get a few tutorials and sessions up, the viewership is capped at 50 people. So keep mindful of the time once I announce it!

Other tutorials...


Also, let me know what other kinds of things you'd like to see later on besides custom brushes. I know texturing is something you guys would like to learn, and I also plan on covering layer masks, which will make your life WAY easier.

Take care guys, talk to you soon!

The above sentence is right

check out my gallery, let me know what you think. if not, at least you read my comment :P
:iconnoldai:
Could you maybe do something cartoony? =P

And show something to make pen colored pics more awesome. :lol:

If you'd check my newest pic you can see that i only shade a bit and do something simple with the gradient in the background. :p

I'd like add more "effect" on my pic. =P If you could do that it'd be awesome. :lol:

Randomness can only be counted by how many feet you have...
:iconrahll:
I really don't do cartoony things, sorry. It's a style I really can't manage.

Haha, okay. In addition to tutorials and stuff, I'll have sessions where you can just watch me paint too, if people are bored enough.

I'd be surprised if Rahll does something 'cartoony'. Expect realistic and mind blowingly brilliant, I will make it a mission to be one of those 50 people.
:iconmenou-lily:
Awesome, I can't wait! Some brushes I would like to see would be something like rough blending, different tree leaves, or something to do with hair texture. ;) Making those kind of brushes stump me because I don't have much brush dynamics options and because I don't know how. xD

:iconclewer:
Maybe a colourshading brush?
If we're talking cloudbrush, you could throw in a fire brush aswell :)
