Older Vid... Tutorial Questions.

I'm uploading this "rerun" for two reasons. 1.) It was one of my first ever youtube vids and I removed it not too long after it being up... I figure there's a lot more subscribers that may have never seen it.
2.) As an excuse to ask you all a question. (since I know that youtube notifies subscribers of new vids immediatley, it's the best way to send out a message of inquiry. ;-)

Here it is: what exactly you would want to see in some tutorials? As you know, youtube has a 10 minute limit per vid... And as far as how I do what I do--- I don't know where to begin. I could go on for hours... SO it would probably be best to just start taking questions, and I'll address them in increments of vids under 10 mins per topic.

What do you think?

Do you use a touch screen or something like that, or the tradional mouse :P

Because mouse control like that would be godlike

[cgsbgs]

No, that would be excruciating. But there are some who DO use a mouse, and my hat's off to 'em. That must require a lot of patience and I assume would provide a great seal of discipline. For example, look up kasumisman here on youtube-- He does everything with a mouse.

You said you could go on for hours, I say do exactly that, do a drawing, don't timelapse it, open up your video editing program and then talk us through how you did what you did while you're doing it, I believe that would be the best way to teach people however it's not the quickest and it would take a long time to upload but I really think it would be worth it. Truth be told, I'd pay for it.

Which brushes are you using when you shade? and how do you get colors on black and white images?

[vladisk]

You should move your videos to vimeo and add bigger versions! ;)

[PhilosophersCreed]

Been dying for you to do a tutorial! Do a drawing as your normally would from start to finish REAL time, break it up into a 6 part video. MY questions I would love to be aswered: 1) What brushes type, mode, and size do you use (and for what parts of the painting)?

2) Why do you prefer to sketch/shade in black first and add color later? (Advantages to that?)

3) How do you color over shading? What mode is the brush, and what mode is the layers?

4) How many layers and what modes to put them on?

if you are still doing the tutorials id like to see how you can take these images out of your head and put them on the paper/screen while knowing where to add the details and how? and also do you do requests cause i have one that (from scifi fan to scifi fan) may be of interest to you

its worth to learn for a week just to paint at your skill level

[wearefruitcakes]

one of things that's always mystified me about your photoshop paintings of human, how do you get a decent skin tone on something that's black and white and the texture? Do you use overlay, multiply, screen, etc on the layers menu or brushes menu and also, how much noise do you tend to do and what are the brush settings on? since I notice you use that bristly brush a lot.

I would like to see a tutorial which adress more technical stuff. Lots of tutorials on here are like: Start with a rough outline... add color...and so on. But what i would like to know is How to add color to get a special look. People watching Your tutorials might be interested in how You color etc, so telling us what settings you have etc for the different stages of your paintings would be really interesting. At least i think so ^^ hope this makes some sense. and also how to get smooth shades:)

didnt have space to fit everything in one comment :P

Some basic color guide ( like what saturation , light-dark balance , contrast ,....) would also be nice , because i can do good drawings in B&W , but color isnt so easy

[Dominik20a]

I would like to see how you do your perspective , especciyl liek one in "11 minute Dinosaur sketch... ". I can make a decent side perspective but I am having troubles at making stuff look like they are coming towards you. Show some basic perspective lines and some tips and tricks how to make it look like it is coming to you.

Another thing is abstract backgrounds , especially colored ones, and how to make they fit and look good with main charachter in picture.
