Twarda's scraps & stuff

I wanted to do more but… MOOD SWINGS! Yeah, something I have to deal with. I will continue later, when I calm down :/

Used photos as a reference, though I can’t find reliable sources.

I after I got one message about my “smooth” shading method with using default settings only, I decided to make another tutorial thingy. So I paintined something quick with the round brush. The last tutorial was done 2 years ago; generally I treat my videos as a tutorials because you can see the process and all tool settings at one time, you can pause the video and see the parts which you are interested the most. I use GIMP 2.6.7 with GPS downloaded, Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet. And mouse.

This is a painting tutorial, not a drawing tutorial. It doesn’t show the one and only way to create art. It only shows one way I like to use often. And even if I often use the default round brush and settings, that doesn’t mean I don’t use other brushes or settings. Whenever I need to, I use texture brushes and layer adjustments. Also, please keep in mind that I’m not native English speaker: there may be errors.

What isn’t shown here is that I do a lot of flips and I paint details on zoomed in picture. Those who watch my YouTube videos may notice that I tend to flip my paintings left, right, paint upside down etc.

In the first picture I translated names for some more important tools/settings, so you shouldn’t be confused. I hope the translation is accurate. I may upload this thing on my DeviantArt.

If you have questions, please refer to my FAQ please.

As I mentioned, here’s the second part. Fusemon - art block solution. I picked those I liked the most, obviously. Basicaly, everyting with Butterfree is win. Fun fact: I know about the pokemon fusion site for about year or so and I did few fusions before. I’ve never drawn them though.

I jumped on the fusemon bandwagon as well.

Practice to kill art block. The sketch was done few days ago, the speedpaint  today. Reference was used but I lost track of the source. GIMP.
