Painting Demo: Nibru

In this tutorial I will take you through my process of designing a character based on a rough character brief.

- a halo on top of his head
- he is old, has only his left eye, has long hair
- stitches for eyebrows and his mouth is stitched closed
- a necklace that has the letter "m"
- he carries some type of spear

A longer version that is filmed in real-time is in the works, so stay tuned!

Hey man what brush do you use, i think most of the time what i paint doesnt come out right because of the brush im using, yours special or a default brush?

[daarken]

@Eggtastic Most of the time I just use the default round brush with opacity set to pen pressure under the brush controls.

[Eggtastic]

@daarken default round brush meaning? the first brush in the palette? And cheers for such a quick reply! lol! i found your website anyways and DL'd your 'My Brushes' link but if the one your describing now is used more thats what ill use :D

[daarken]

@Eggtastic Yeah, it should be the first brush in the set that you downloaded.

[Eggtastic]

@daarken So its the size '19' of your brush pack and not the size 100 that is more hard?

[daarken]

@Eggtastic I use both, but most of the time I use the size 19 brush.

How long have you been an artist?

[Lanedude08]

I sincerely hate thinking of poses for characters. That's what usually leads to my unholy art blocks. It's sucks when I can't even get past step one.
