A tutorial based on my latest digital painting of Iron Man and WarMachine. It's my first time writing a tutorial so please go easy on me. Let me know what you think. If you have any advice on how to improve it let me know and I'll try and do that next time.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me and I'll try and reply back.
I have two questions if you dont mind. I wanted to know how many layers did this take or something like this on average would be and what is the opacity and flow you start off with the flat grayscale?
Altogether it probably took me about 5-6 layers.
1. Background Colour (Usually a mid tone grey to begin with)
2. Sketch Layer
3. Flat shading
4. Detailed shading
5. Flat colouring
6. Detailed Colouring
* Note that the Detailed shading, Flat Shading and Sketch Layer all merge into one when you start Flat Colouring.
The only time the flow setting changes is when you zoom in to paint in the details. Other than that the Opacity and Flow settings remain at 100%.
Glad you liked it. Happy painting !
Yeah the photo-realism style is what I try to go for with all my paintings.
I was once a noob too.
