Description

Here is that promised step by step of my Tink piece. It's more of a tutorial format but when I get some more free time I'll do a quick movie step by step of the process which I will link here. Please download the PDF for the full file.

You can find the original image here- [link]

PLEASE NOTE: This tutorial assumes you already know how to draw well, that you have a Wacom drawing tablet with pressure sensitivity and a stylus, and that you have a recent edition of Photoshop and know how to use it.

You'll need Nathie's brushes which can be found here- [link]

If you are interested in DAZ studio you can download it here- [link]

If you want the model I used you can buy it here- [link]

For an in-depth tutorial of how to light a scene in DAZ please see this- [link]

heyas, lithriel!  your portrait painting tutorials have helped me immensely.  thanks so much for sharing!  : )

i don't know if you're still lurking or whatnot, but one major thing i have a problem with... after i block out the main hightlight and shadow areas, i get stuck.  i don't know what, exactly, i'm supposed to be doing to get the colour blocks to blend smoothly and to work out the details.  i mean, my instinct is to just grab the smudge tool and go nuts, but i know that's not the proper way to do it.

is there any tutorial you've seen (or made, of course), that covers just that part?  (or anybody who wanders by the comments...!)

thanks!!
