Title: Tutorials
Post by: TwilightKnight on January 15, 2007, 09:11:50 PM: Got any good art tutorials for drawing or certain editing tricks? Post them here! Feel free to request tutorials as well.

My friend has some really good lineart and coloring tutorials.

Also, i'd like a tutorial on drawing furry heads, because sonic-styled heads really only cut it for chibis. :/

EDIT: I know this should probably go in the tutorials board, but, since this pertains stricty to art tutorials, i think it should stay here. Plus, i don't know where exactly to put it on the Tutorials board. sorry. ^^;

Title: Open Canvas Tutorial
Post by: cybercat on February 02, 2007, 10:09:59 PM: Open Canvas is a really awesome program! It's not as powerful as a editing or photomanipulation program as Photoshop but it rocks for actually doing digital paintings!

It won't bog down your computer either like Painter is apt to do. The program is fairly cheap for what you are getting too, around 75 dollars.

Here are two tutorials on ways to paint with this great program! I hope ya enjoy it!

Tool one: The Watercolor / Oil paint brush http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25271850

Tool two: The Graphic Pen: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/25273412

That's a really nice tutorial, if you already know basics. I need something with a bit more steps that really shows you how to something, that's really more just examples. ^^; sorry

This one has plenty that can help. You should learn how to do humans before you try to learn anthro.
After all it's an important part of what anthro is.

BUT does anybody know of a good hand tutorial or methods for study to draw decent hands? I'm not aiming at mastery, just decent, looks-like-a-hand hands. I just can't seem to get the proportions right...

Hands are always about as big as your face.

Post by: Asia Kali Yusufzai on August 23, 2009, 08:29:56 PM: This has got to be one of the best tutorials I've seen in a long time, and I've seen so many people, including myself, make these mistakes. It's no surprise then that this is the tutorial used by Disney to teach their animators and comic artists back in the 70s and 80s

For some reason she forgot to do heads but aside from that she covers everything else, even how to transfer anime styles to realistic proportions. I've learned a lot from these tutorials and if you *need* a head tutorial she sort of has one at the beginning of her "anime to Realistic" tutorial series.
