Bravo April!

Your tutorial rocks! It is not too wordy, as you were afraid it might be. You gave the reader all the information they needed and added only enough embellishments to make it personal. It is really quite good.

Personally I was never interested in the type of brushes someone else used or the name of the pigments, but for a beginner I can see that information being useful to give them someplace to start.

An excellent tutorial! I really want to go paint something now. So many helpful tips :)

I especially think I need to dry working light into dark rather than the other way around :shakefist: The colours here just look so vibrant!

Thanks so much for sharing your tips and practices :dance:

Your tutorials are always so incredibly rich with information and detail as to what you're doing. I'm not a painter in regards to things like this (sets for theaters and murals, absolutely), but I certainly have great respect for it.

If I used paints, I would so totally jump on it right now ^^ It was great to see how you do your paintings. It sure is a lot of work. And don't worry about impatience. You worked for two weeks on this. I doubt I've spent much more than a few hours on anything traditional. Usually I draw fairly quickly, taking about 2 hours or so for a good drawing. Coloring? Eh, so impatient >.> Takes half an hour with colored pencils. Digital stuff takes me longer.

-98% of Deviants don't know the difference between "your" and "you're." If you're one of the 2% that wants to punch 'em, put this in your sig.

Why thanks! I figured that I could get away with giving a lot of information here, since I didn't have a camera to shoot what I was physically doing with the brush... But I'm glad it's understandable! :D

I figured since there was a fair amount of digital artists that might be curious, it could help them out a bit. :nod: Especially since digital art doesn't use color names... this could be part of the reason I have such a hard time working digitally! :laughing:

Hooray! :dance: For the longest time I hated acrylics... mostly because I was using really crappy 80 cent ones, which really just don't work all that well... So I bought a few tubes of the Golden brand at a time, a few times a week, and before I knew it I had a working palette! :D And each tube lasts me quite a long time, so that's a big plus. Much less expensive than oils... (which I still can't stand... :XD:)

Sometimes I feel like a materials snob... :rofl: Even though half the things I really like are very expensive! :noes: At least my acrylics brushes are cheap... :XD:

Good to hear I have enough information here!
