Tutorial here : http://dianae.deviantart.com/art/Digital-Painting-Tutorial-74468761

Hello people!

This is the 7th part of the video screen capture I've done while painting "Hanagumori" : http://dianae.deviantart.com/art/Hanagumori-70756649

There are 8 parts total.

Part 8 http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=N7fBWM2-14E


This painting has been done in order to write a digital painting tutorial explaining the techniques I'm using to paint. This is just meant to be informative.

Tools used : Photoshop CS3 (but older versions can be used too, of course) and a wacom intuos 3A4 graphics tablet.

Total painting time : approximately 12 hours, but I've changed the speed of the video (1500%).

I've not put music so you can listen to your favourite music while watching it. I might write and record a specific soundtrack later if you feel that it really needs music, but this is just an informative video, not something artsy at all.

I hope that it can be useful, if you have any question, you can leave them in the comments, I'll try to reply the best I can.

Sorry for my bad english... I hope you'll understand though :)

The fact is that you'll never really call yourself a good artist. Not if you truly are, anyway. I've been doing art all my life, and there's still a universe of things I need to learn and master, and I'm sure the same goes for Diane here. The truth is that every true artist is proud of their work, but never satisfied with it. There is always room for growth.

[CronusLord]

Good luck. It's a long road. lol

[aandre311]

@CronusLord amen.. that all true same happens to me XD

[selenama]

@mangachan10 she didn't :D.

[KillaTequilla83]

This fan part looks very frustrating lol

[mangachan10]

Did you make any thumbnails or preliminary sketches before you did this?

[Zanny1990]

damn  its your own pic ???

i love the fish! i see u paint it on special layer, did u mix it with background layer after u finished the fish?

[CronusLord]

once you know them. I'm always looking for something new to learn, and I think art loses its flavor once you think you know everything. Digital painting, or any kind of painting for that matter, is new to me, and studying this video was part of learning something new and applicable. :D

[CronusLord]

Oh, no problem. :) I think it's really only those of us that live art rather than just love it that truly understand its more intricate nature. Art, as a whole, defies definition; to attempt to define it is to trivialize its true meaning. It's as much a thing of individuality as it is of civilizational importance, so I've never attributed it to competition, one person being better than another. Personally, I've found it to be a matter of skill filtered through know-how, to break the rules

[DianeOzdamar]

I meant "an" instead of "and" of course.

There may be some mistakes remaining though, sorry for my bad english.

[DianeOzdamar]

I couldn't agree more! You summed it up very well.

I'm indeed never satisfied with my work and always trying to improve, though I'm somehow proud when I finally can call and artwork "done"...

I really have a very long way to go before doing really "good art" (though this is pretty subjective) and I hope I'll never stop learning and improving. This is the best part of "art" to me.

Thank you for your very interesting comment !
