There it is! My first tutorial!

It takes you through the whole process of painting a realistic image digitally (in Photoshop, but will work just as well in Painter, MS Paint, etc) and is loosely based on a lot of training DVDs and professional advice (thanks Tez) I got.

Hope you get something out of it :)

Download the deviation for the tute, it's quite big (something like 7600 pixels long)

Wow, wicked realistic! I wouldn't have been able to tell since there's only a couple very minor differences between the photo and the art piece. great job!

A most amazing and simplifing tutorial. Please make more. I like how you also show the layers you used. So often its just a picture and the actual process gets lost in translation. Great Job!
:iconstrayferret:
oh I'm so gonna study this one deeper! Looks great to me, thanks for doing it =)

Thank you :)

Yea I tried showing things that other tutorials don't - layers for example. It helps so much just knowing these things and I always miss them in other tutes.

Thanks so much! :)

No one's more surprised than me when that happens! I've only been doing these paintings for a month (been painting for a while longer tho) and it's still quite frustrating at times.

I bet! I totally would not have the patience to do that ever. I can't even begin to comprehend how you got it done in 2.5 hours... I'd go crazy! lol And after just a month? You develop your skills real quick..

haha, thanks :)

Basically the trick is to not get distracted by what you're painting, and just focus on the colours you see. That can be pretty hard because you always sort of "want" to look at the image the way you're used to.

It wasn't so much developing skills for me, it just "clicked" one day :)

I dunno, I do more cartoony stuff and I still get really bored really quick. It's actually kind of something I gotta stop doing.. haha
You're doing great though, really great. Keep it up!
