I loath everyone who can draw. They remind me of how much talent I don't have.

Haha thanks. I hope she goes through with it. She seems leery about getting a tattoo in general so we'll see if it actually happens.

I appreciate that you like my art. It's really more of a skill than a talent though. You only get as much out as you put in. Draw daily even if it's just sketches and you'll be better than most in no time.


Well, here is a tattoo I sketched up for my brother. I didn't spend too much time on the colors because I wasn't sure if he'd approve of the layout. He seems to like it though so I doubt I'll have to draw it again.

Hnnggh I love how you work with colours, the palettes work nice with each other on any image!


I was wondering seeing how you drew flowers, do you have any tips for colouring them? I usually kinda air brush everything and it doesn't work like that, haha.

Thank you! My philosophy is to generally keep it bright and vibrant.


It depends on the style I'm going for but mostly I chose 3-4 colors to work with when coloring a flower. I try to stay away from airbrush in my coloring. I like using hard edge brushes. Either I use a pressure sensitivity for the values or I color with by blocking things out with full opacity. If I need softer edge then I'll use a light eraser tool on layers I've already colored.


Hopefully that makes sense and if you want to talk more about it, feel free to PM me. I've seen some of your threads. You're very skilled.

I really need to work with harder shading since it really gives a clean look to what you draw x). Opacity is my savior when it comes to playing around with colours. And thanks!!!

Alright everyone. I'm in the process of trying to move away from linework. Why? Because it takes forever and I need to focus on painting methods in my digital art. As a future concept artist, it's essential that I'm quick and detailed with my work. So it's going to be tutorial mayhem for a while.


If there are any other digital artists curious about this type of work, check out Stephanie Valentin on youtube. Her tutorials are absolutely brilliant. This post includes some different stages of progress. Enjoy.

Third stage-- I decided to change the color of the iris and the direction of gaze
