Digital Painting 101, Lesson 1: Get Started Painting on Your Computer

Digital Painting 101, Lesson 1: Get Started Painting on Your Computer | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it

Want to learn to make concept art but don't know where to start? This next entry in the Lifehacker Night School series will help you get your feet wet. Because the skillset is rooted in traditional drawing and painting, don't expect to be the next superstar concept artist overnight. Instead, think of this 101 course as an opportunity to get to know the tools. Over these five short lessons I'll show you what you need to get started on the path of digital painting. You've probably seen your fair share of concept art on the internet. Whether you're looking at a sprawling Martian landscape or a craggy cave troll it's likely that a concept artist is responsible. Though this creation process is involved and fast paced it can be distilled into two basic parts: design and execution. The first portion, design, is the deeply imaginative act. How many horns should the elder dragon have? What shape is the alien life form? Concept artists work long and hard to create originality. Creativity of this sort is hard to teach. The second portion, execution, is what this series focuses on



Hovhannes 's insight:

According to Wikipedia: "Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer and software, a graphics program offering a virtual canvas and painting box with a large amount of brushes, colors and other supplies."

Nose drawing tutorial: a geometrical approach | Drawing Factory | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it

Nose drawing can be a difficult skill to master due to the complexity of the nose shape. With this tutorial I will try to describe a method of defining a geometrical shape for the nose that should help notably its correct positioning on the face while maintaining correct orientation and proportion of the different parts.With this tutorial on nose drawing I am not going to enter into the anatomical detail of the nose and its inner structure but I intend to provide a quick way to rapidly block out a correctly positioned nose in a face drawn from any angle.

How To Set Up A Still Life For Drawing

How To Set Up A Still Life For Drawing | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it

Still life drawing can be really rewarding, but too often we find ourselves struggling with dull arangements that are really difficult to do anything interesting with. Pieces of fruit in a bowl, a bottle of wine - it can easily be the same-old-same old. Here are some tips on putting together a great still life, thinking about lighting and backgrounds as well as componennts. Be sure to check the links for some illustrated still life examples, ideas and projects. 


Here's How:

  1. Choose your location: a good, directional light source is the key to a strong drawing or painting. A lamp or bright window is perfect.
  2. If room lighting is diffuse, use a board or shadow box to to control the lighting that falls on your subject. You might need to be creative - blankets draped between chairs (on table!), umbrellas, appliance boxes... a little effort can make a big difference to the fall of light, and allows you to draw what you see instead of using guesswork to try and tweak the drawing.

Learning How to Paint Part 1 - Three Secrets to Success

You cannot learn how to paint in just a few weeks - the old masters spent years as an apprentice to master artists, and many more years refining their skills. You have to plan your learning program and work on it every day if you want to be a great artist. You need to build your foundation on solid principles. I believe there are about 500 to 1000 individual skills or chunks of knowledge you need to know about to become a good artist. I think the word 'talent' is overused in the art world. Talent only plays a role with the one or two painters that become elevated to the status of a great master. For the rest of us, it is not talent, but knowledge combined with a lot of hard work. Some people just have to work harder at it than others. That is what makes you a good painter.
Happy painting

How to Draw the Head: Miscellaneous Views

How to Draw the Head: Miscellaneous Views | Drawing and Painting Tutorials | Scoop.it

The first head view is a front view but the character is bending her head to the side. When you draw your character like this, make sure you “bend” your guide lines as well to keep the face structure from becoming skewed.

The second head view is the a quarter view from the back. Notice that it is mostly a profile of the side of the head with the ears drawn at the back view.

Third and forth example is quite similar as they are both quarter views except one is looking down a bit and the other is more than “quarter” view.

The last example to the right is a quarter-upwards view. Do you see how this one is drawn?

The basic lines you should always have is the circle for the head, the jawline, a line to dictate the middle of the face, and another for the ear. And if you didn’t notice yet, the key to drawing heads is to curve your guidelines according to which direction your character is facing. Then, it’s just a matter of drawing the facial features according to the guidelines.
