That worked out really well... excellent mood in there, great focus on the characters in the foreground while it's still clear how the scene works in just a glance. Sweet work.

It looks really great! I realize this is just a study, and I like it the way it is, but if you spent like 1 more hour to sharpen a few things, it'd be SICK!

hahaha, I think 4 hours is above a "speed paint" man.
this looks really good though, I might be wrong, but it feels like you've grasped so much more in this piece than any of the others.

Oh.~ There's a few method. U can use the photoshop brush set up function or u can actually try to seach for some custom made brush online. I think u can find quite alot on DA too. For this piece alot of the texturing is done just by overlaying it with a texture throught out the whole image. I think. Kind of forget the process i use after i painted the piece.

Hope this helps man. :)

it sure does. Do you recommend any particular textures for the brushes? Any to avoid? What should I keep in mind while looking for them? How do you apply the overlay texture? (I always seem to have trouble with that aspect of it)


sorry to ask so many questions, I just want to add a textured feel to my work mainly because it gives this gritty feeling of realism, but for when I get prints made up as well. I feel like a photo print with a good texture applied on the image is a better option than an image without a texture getting printed on canvas for the sake of texture. The canvas prints seem to loose a ton of detail. Whereas the photo prints retain all of it. I learned this in a recent gallery showing. But I digress.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and any and help you provide. Have a good one.

Hmmm. I don't really have any recommendation. I use any texture but i try to read the shapes rather than anything else. Like if you are looking for scales you don't really have to look under scales to look for scales, you just need shape tht suggest scale like look.

There's actually alot of ways to apply the textures. I uses overlay mode quite alot. It really depend on wat kind of hmm look you wan. You can apply ur texture selectivity in different places. And you can keep the color of some textures when you are overlaying it over your image or you can just totally lost allt he color infor and use the black and white to.~ hmm.~ give the painting abit more texture look.

I use some texture brush also but i'm still learning. I'm trying to understand like some you can use certian texture brush and some area you don't.

I feel you can just try it out. Hmm.~ just focus on the look you wan and try. My mental thinkig is.~ the more you try and the more you fall, the more you'll learn. Cos in the mind you have a standard you wan to hit and you just don't worry to much and just try to keep pushing. I'm sure you will learn how to use it.

Ohh.~ another thing is.~ texture doesn't mean texture only, sometime i uses foto, blur it.~ and do some effect with it.~ and you can use tht as a texture also, to give it more.~ hmm.~ color shift in a piece of work.

Hops this help man, cos i'm also trying to figure thing out myself at the moment. Feel free to ask if you have any problem or anything. :) I'll try my best to help.
