Comment on Digital Painting tutorial : Joan of Arc by Mathieustern
I quite like this, but I wouldn't really call it a tutorial. More like a step-by-step. A tutorial would explain each step in the process, but this has major gaps. How would I know how to add the shine to the metal? Just saying.
Why wouldn't you call it a tutorial as it is by definition?
It may not be as detailed as you wish, but that does not make it not what it is.

It's funny because that doesn't really define this at all. :'D
What's so funny? Did you even read this? "Something that provides special, often individual instruction"?
This is getting boring. I'm not going to answer this kind of question anymore.

I know that what you're looking for is an answer from someone you decide is smart enough to consider, but I'm just a teenager who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and it's really just a word in the title anyway. I'm gonna make my point very brief. This man is a very talented artist, and I doubt that your little qualm with my friend means anything to him, but the evidence is right there for you to see. The only thing that provides any "instruction" in this piece is the colour palette in the top row, and that's not a tutorial. It's a reference. Do you know what else you call a reference with stages of progress? A step-by-step.
..Did you really just do that? :L
Of course. What wouldn't KD do?
This is probably around the time where I give up trying to explain.
Oh, you give up easy, eh?
I just have better things to do instead of wasting time arguing. Kills the good mood, ya' know? But judging by your quick reaction, I can tell you're fairly butthurt, so I'll take a cap and maybe submit it to 
Other than that, good day.

Pretty pathetic. I will now just ban you and your kind.
