We continue with the tutorial diary. We talked about primary education sites, collective sites and single artists sites. As a matter of fact, we shared the best sources of ink, pen, perspective and figure. In this article, we are now going down and concentrating on digital painting, one of the lower branches of computer graphics.
Digital painting is a common name given to drawing and painting works on computers, except for works done on analog art (ie on paper). The technique belongs entirely to the artist, or drafts it on paper and develops it on the computer, or it goes directly to the computer design. The end product which makes “digital”, is a being of product of the computer graphics (jpg, png, psd, pdf, cbr, mobi, epub, mp4, avi, etc…) output.
The formation of Feng Zhu, trained in the entertainment industry. The good thing is that they produce free training videos. There are hundreds videos on their YouTube channel.
Specialities: illustration, animation, analog drawing, character design.
James Gurney’s personal blog, illustrator of Dinotopia books. In his blog he talks about a very important trick about his art. There is also a rich contented Youtube channel.
Although they are actually a premium site, they prefer to offer basic courses for beginners free of charge, which is a fairly advanced corpus. I introduced a sample class in the motivation summer for art students.
2. Premium Resources
Sites that cost money but have very good quality content. It can be difficult to find and follow free lessons. That’s why premium lessons can help you move faster. It can be useful to buy if you are serious. I always think about seeing course titles and work.
Konular: illustration, watercolour, digital painting.
It’s a place where a group of highly talented digital artists gather. We encourage you to follow the artists separately. For example, the founder is Jake Parker, # InkTober’s initiator.
Specialities: digital painting, figure drawing, environment design…
Although the lessons are paid and the site navigation is a bit difficult. The founder of Bobby Chiu’s YouTube channel is fabulous. Every week they share either a drawing video or an artist interview. These are the nice biographies for the artists of your future.
Conclusion
I finish my words in the same way again:
Undoubtedly, there are countless educational treasures on the Internet for research tribes.
