OK, I hate everyone who asked me to do the tutorial because it took me more hours to make it, than the actual painting. :dead: OK, I don't hate you really, I just hate making things like this.

I don't think this will be helpful to anyone, it's more like a demonstration than tutorial, and I'm awfully sorry for the messy eye painting example (I was distracted by new T.Hiddleston photos on tumblr, so I did "let's draw an eye in 3 minutes" thing - if you're interested, I actually have 2 rough videos on tumblr of how I draw eyes - [link] and [link] )

that's pretty much what I did, except I suppose my second digital painting could be described as a speed painting. I used one brush, two colors, (Light brown and white) and I did the entire skin tone with those two colors. ^~^ It was all one layer, except for the sketch,and the background, (so three layers. ^^) I was just practicing, and in two or so hours, it came out looking alright. the thing is, it feels a lot like painting, (which I'm not good at) but I like this version. Normally painting, I use too much paint, can't cover up my mistakes or undo them, and The colors don't go together and blend like I would like them to, so digital painting is definitely working for me. It's fun. >:3

Digital art is definitely easier than traditional medium, mostly because of possibility of layers and good ol' UNDO button. :XD:

I've realized that it's impossible (for me) to use just one brush, but I'm pretty cool with one or couple of color tones. But I've noticed that skin (or anything) is never in just one tone, things around you will reflect light, so to get a realistic look, you will need to add even the weirdest hues - examine the photos, you'll see.

Haha, yeah! I notice! So many strange colors in the highlights, that you wouldn't think would belong there. things reflect and absorb light in the strangest of ways, but tis all interesting to me. ^^ Yeah, what I did was more of a speedpaint/digital painting practice/new brush practice. xD Most people use more than one brush... (I was just bored and lazy...) xD

Oh you'll figure it all out. I suggest you instal custom brushes, too. There are some great ones out there. Or you can make them yourself.
And speedpaints are the best - they let you relax and just have fun. :nod:

Oh yeah, I got a custom brush set from sir Luvisi, and that is what I used in my latest picture. ^~^ not sure how to make mine, just yet... but I'm always curious to learn. Speedpainting is fun in my opinion, as it's less about making hard copy detailed stuff... and focusing more on composition and how your hands move on the object to give it shape.

Making your own brushes is easy - just draw the shape, select it, press "define brush preset" and it's done. ;)
