CynHimawari2828 Kai_Chi CynHimawari2828 Kai_Chi CynHimawari2828 Would you happen to have any tutorials on effects/techniques used in programs? Specifically photoshop 4laugh hmmm do you have something in mind specificaly? : ) If not you could maybe try this website, I've never used it but they do seem to have lots of good tutorials that are based off photoshop : ) http://psd.tutsplus.com/ Well to be specific, I was thinking of a way, a similar technique that can look like blending (as in the same way you blend in paints, not photos into each other). It's kind of hard to keep things uniform of what little I know xp like if you painted with water colours you'd see the brush layers underneath? Blending like that? I don't think so....? I was thinking more like with oil paint, like when you are making lighting effects, you blend in white to show light to the darker paint and vice versa (but not so much the smudge tool or burn tool). It's also more of how to soften the contrast to colors from each other (like a gradient makes that transition into the other color, that's the effect I'm looking for). well maybe try taking useing the brush but with a fill filter on it. I've taken a snap shot to show you an example what I mean. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/Kai_Chi/help-1.jpg Try using a pure white with the fill over your colours, or pure black. the more strokes you put on it, the more whiter or darker your colour will become. However I think if your talking about mixing colours, maybe corel painter would be a better programe for you : ). Corel Painter was originaly designed as an artist programe, for specificly re-creating real life mediums on a digital format. So you could litteraly pic oil paints and mix them on your palet to get the colours you want. Where photoshop even though its vastly used in the industry today for all sorts of artist fields, the programe was originaly created to correct photos. So the tools in photoshop are more photo correction based were corel painter is more painting based 3nodding

Yoruzena clothing! specifically folds x) animation would help too since that's rather confusing sometimes @__@ For animation, one of the best books I've ever found on animation is by Richard williams (Animation survival kit) if you could find the book I highly recommend it, because it describs in simple terms the principle laws of animation, in an easy and comprehensable way. Plus theres lots of images to give examples so it tends to be better for artist like us : ) This is what the book looks like  and these are some of the many examples you can find in the book on walk cycles, and so on. if your trying to get better at animation this is a must have book. Very very usefull. I worked for a while as a 3D animator, and even saw my leads often going back to this book for references or clarifications on some animation principles. its a very good book : ). If you can't afford to buy the book I think if you just type the name of the book and free download you'll be able to get it as well. I have the book so I've never tryed downloading it, but maybe you can, if you can't get the book at the moment 3nodding As for clothing tutorials, this is something I haven't really searched for before, but I found maybe one tutorials that visually might help. Its nothing that's super clear or easy to educate its audiance bu it might help give you a better idea of things to think about when drawing. http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/clothes/clothes1.htm

hey augizzle I noticed you mentioned how animation before and I forgot to mention this, but the "animation survival kit" book might be a big help. I've had some teachers who've worked at Disney who reference this book often. Maybe check it out if your still looking for ways to understand/improve in your animations 3nodding

Thank you for your advice heart (I'm serious when I said I barely know anything about the program, I only had like 3-days worth of actual lessons for the program in college sweatdrop And teacher only covered like the basic of basics). Corel huh? I guess I have something else to save up for on amazon (it's actually a lot cheaper there than on their official site). emotion_sweatdrop

I heard that the newest one (#12) is a little difficult to maneuver/not user friendly aside from useful things being taken out. So would there be a more preferable version?

I heard that the newest one (#12) is a little difficult to maneuver/not user friendly aside from useful things being taken out. So would there be a more preferable version? hmmm to be honest I`m not sure what to recommend neither. I`ve used corel painter a few times but to the not like I use photoshop as in I don`t use it everyday to work. Its on my to-do list though however the version I`ve been using is a version my bf got for free when he won a prize at a 2d conference its corel painter 10. My innitial thoughs of the programe is its semi intuitive, it dosen`t work mechanicaly the same way as photoshop so for me comming from a photoshop background and launching into corel its a littel different. But I heared if your not really fomiliare with photoshop and you launch into corel painter its more intiuitve for beginers, specially traditional artist so... hmmm I guess it will really depend on how you feel with it. But you will need to give it some time to get used to it. If you`d like to get corel painter 10, I`ll re-install my version on my computer and we can try to explore the programe together. Find out how it works and what we can do with it, find tutorals and stuff, only if you`d like a course. If you`d rather do your own thing thats fine as well : )

I've noticed that "hair" seems to be the popular answer, so I implore to whoever will be in charge of creating the tutorial - please don't make an anime-style tutorial. There are more than enough of those flying around the web (especially deviantArt).
Make it pseudo-realistic to realistic including lighting/shading, weight, and physics of moving hair; for example the way thick, long hair would react in a slight breeze versus thin, shorter hair, etc. This could also be a good tie-in with animation since a still image that portrays movement is a good way to create keyframes.

If you know of any good tutorials for realistic hair I'm sure many memebers including myself would be happy to see it : )

As for painting hair (digitally) - I always refer people to one of CGSociety's tutorial. It's not beginner friendly, to say the least, but I think it's one of the better ones out there.
