Finished the portrait triptych:



Leading Ladies by *DragonReine

i saw this girl somewhere before..
is she the hollywood artist?

rofl..i thot she Eva Mendes..    

The painting is the same as traditional painting, TJ. It's just that digital painting is both always dry and never dry (i.e. you can change as you go, being flexible, and you don't have to wait hours/days/weeks for the "paint" to dry before you put down a new "layer"), and you can change your brush size/shape/texture on the fly.

This video here (http://youtu.be/Imd_tTl5WSg) is pretty similar to how I personally work, although my personal sketches tend to be more precise as seen here: http://dragonreine.deviantart.com/art/WIP-...sited-217469414

And here's a VERY informative blog that talks about the sort of peripherals/tablets that are out there on the market, their costs, and which is best for your personal skill level and/or budget: http://enliighten.com/blog/tools-of-the-tr...-peripherals-3/

(enliighten.com is a good site, btw, created by a very experienced digital artist, and he covers a lot of basics in that site, with useful video tutorials)

Also, I found the ImagineFX channel again (whee!) and there's a series of videos that shows how Mario Wibisono (the guy who paints with mouse) works on one of the covers (Part one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_wOjcg1Te0), and this is the video that inspired my "Wolf's Rain" painting, by Melanie Delon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-26j9iNeRL0

Note that my style (pencil sketch, semi-transparent layers of paint on top) is closer to the "traditional" way of working with paint than the other artists I'd featured here.

EDIT: Also, what vypur just said Here's a Wacom price list: http://www.wacom.asia/my/products-price

The cheapest model you can use for digital painting would be the Bamboo Pen, which costs RM299. If you can go to Lowyat Plaza in KL, you can check out the smaller shops and haggle for a lower price on that model

That said, if you're going to invest in a tablet, buy the best that you can afford.

okay my bad,I'll post something worthy in the near future to compensate my mistake.

but I still feel my pencil art is worthless here.

haha like I said last time,Im relieved that u join this thread.
wah referencing range murata's art eh?
I like the one that u colored with colored pencil,the one on the right has something wrong with it.
