Tutorial Topic You'd Like To See

fallenangel · Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2005 6:05 pm Post subject:

Denis/Carter asked for tutorials, n' I said I'd make one. However, since I don't have time and would ultimately end up writing a book were I to not pin down a specific topic, I'm leaving it up to the people who will read it. I'll make a detailed tutorial with pictures on the winning option, and possible tutorials on the others at a later time.

So pick which subject you think would be most interesting/useful.

I voted realism in general, but I don't think many FAC members (the pariahs) are looking to be good at realism...

The majority aren't interested in anything I do, looking at it or doing it. I'm well aware. Razz

But I'm not going to make a tutorial about something I'm not good at, and hopefully the tutorials/reviews/articles can have as much variety as we do in categories and not just one subject.

I'd love something to do with getting a person's likeness down. I can do realism, but I have such issues with that part that I don't often bother.

I would really love to see a tutorial about comical-izing already existing characters, how you stylize and simplify a character for a comic, to say it exact how to make a comic figure out of a real person but that way you still recognise exactly who it is...

Yeah, so would I. Laughing

Not really my forte. Except like this, but it's not particularly comic-esque, just simpler.

That'd be right up in the average Fac member's alley, sure, go for it.

making real person/s simpler.

I used to know someone who did stuff like that. He said to exagerate features, but not to the extent of a caricature, and not to do too much detail. I suppose you could think of it like vector art.

Erm... thing is, I didn't simplify anything. All the proportions are correct. It's just instead of shading, I inked the lines and slapped on some photoshop color. Simplifying while still maintaining likeness is a whole different thing...

I think I would love to see a tutorial dedicated to inking an artwork and hence I voted for Individual features.

As example for some really heavy simplified Characters I would mention the StarWars CloneWars series... they took the characters and simplyfied them to the extreme, but they all got their features and you can recognise who is who. I guess you need to specify a style at first and then chose a feature you want to keep on a character and so on.. well not really easy I guess.

Concerning inking, I made a tutorial about digital inking once... well digital so it will not be quite helpful for traditional inking, but if someone wants it, its in PDF format...

Surrealism ^^ nah dunno maybe inking ? realism? Very Happy

ill vote for realism

Haha, gotta love how many people pick things that aren't on the list.

Although I have and am doing surrealism right now, but there's no way I could make a tutorial about it. Laughing

Can't decide between likeness and realism. It'll be one of those, just depending on if I feel like doing a drawing (realism) or painting (likeness...'cause I have the very beginning of a painting if I chose to use that one, hmm).

Meh, we'll see. Smile

((sorry for bumping old thread up but im interested))

I would love to learn to portrait, I think you are one of the best drawers in all FAC fallen, maybe its because of your ability to shade or maybe just because your ability..... anyway i can get the details of the persons when I draw them but i can never get the proportions and stuff maybe that would help?

I don't know if it's of any help but I've put up a couple of tutorials one is for realism and shading, the other is for coloring with markers. It might not be to good cause I don't consider myself that great ^_^

Lolz, I forgot this thread even existed after the new semester started. Portraiture is probably the easiest to do, tutorial wise. Incorporate a little of all the categories. 'Cause shading in general, uh... "just do it" is about all the advice I can come up with. I don't think about it.

Hm, need to pick a subject that won't be Theo, though that is a more interesting face than the standard symmetrical pretty boy...
