Comment on ::Painting Skin Textures:: by BikerScout
either i don't have the patience or skills to use the correct colors, or i just suck period. i can't figure out how yours looks way better than mine.
It's all about understanding lots of different things - colour is just one of them. Blending, tone, contrast, form - it takes a while to grasp them all effectively. Yes, patience is important. Computers help make things a lot easier, there's no doubt, but knowing how to control the computer and make it do what you want is key.
I'd recommend watching some of my painting videos, especially the Big Red Speedpaint, featuring Hellboy. From start to finish took 1 hour and the videos are slow enough to be able to follow. It might help you see the stages involved & a bit of my process. It makes explaining how I paint a lot easier too!
Hope that's useful to you & cheers for looking at my stuff.
