finally as promised i made a video demonstration about painting a picture in photoshop.

i started from scratch, made a sketch in photoshop and from there started painting. for the overall image it took me 3 hrs so i was rushing a bit, so please exuse anatomiocal mistakes.

Also, i started off with only basic brushes, and i made advanced ones as the video progressed. that way i wanted to show you various purpose for different brushes and how to use them.
i didnt put any text in this demonstration, since this is just for viewing the process, but i plan on making shorter - more specific video tutorials later on. and hopefully maybe be able to post theme here on dA.

video is divided in 4 parts:

part 1: duration 10 min  - sketching up, placing flat colors and working on the background, creating brushes.
part 2: duration 15 mn   - placing flat colors on the character, painting the character. mostly the face, creating hair brush.
part 3: duration 11 min  - continuing to paint the character, applying textures, finishing up
part 4: duration 15 min  - finishing up the background, creating brushes for ground, trees etc.


i also posted a preview here on dA just so you can see what to expect


for the final image i decided to take my time and recompose it a bit, also i fixed few anatomical mistakes and redrew the winchester rifle by using reference.


hmm i hope i didnt forget anything...

well i hope it was helpfull.

cheers!
