How to paint? / Faq info

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 28, 2009, 7:36 AM





I want to create a collection of good qestions regarding digital illustration.

So whatever you have in your mind, doesn't matter if it was asked before, just ask it. I wanna see how much interest you have into certain things.

The questions will not be answered right away since I want to collect them first.

edit: OK there are some pretty good questions here, thank you. ;) I am working my way through them and doing my best to answer them all.

What colorimetric profile do you use. (That because I often end up having the wrong one and have to convert the illustration thus killing the color balance). It's the number zero question. :D

How do you layer the colours in the hair, without losing the base colour? How to make a good custom hair brush? (Not how to make a custom brush, but what to do for a hair brush in particular)

mmh how do you get this kind of style of your design? like the design "ruined" under the fashion group? so i mean it looks like done with oil or acryl colour.. i always try to get this style, but I think it's the choice of the brush and also the colours.. but what do I have to consider for this two things?
how long did it take till you could do such kind of designs? i mean when did you paint your first design of which you were thinking "yes that's totally correct painted. all the colours were perfectly the way I wished and the proportion or the perspectiv of the persons are correctly the way I wished to design them? I mean what was your way to get there..?
so this are big questions :D , but for me I think this are the particular questions to get this effects like your designs are..I hope you will write me something about it :)
