Thanks for the cool tutorial!  
Love your rock texture btw~ Is it one you made yourself or a free resource?

AntiDarkHeart In reply to Bear-hybrid [2016-09-09 06:41:55 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!

Free resource for now. At one point I would like to go out and get my own textures.

I should really try thumbnail sketching. I've seen so many top tier artists using them and recommending them. 

The use of the rock texture and painting is beautiful. It really steps the background up! I should try that as well!

AntiDarkHeart In reply to DasChocolate [2016-09-08 17:52:01 +0000 UTC]

It's fun to create thumbnails and different ideas. Plus you can recycle the unused one for other work!

I recommend it

Omg thank you!! I've been looking for something like this in ages!
Also I don't know if you already have but could you do a tutorial on how to get textures such as fur and rock?
I struggle all the time >.>

AntiDarkHeart In reply to furryfluke [2016-09-06 23:31:20 +0000 UTC]

No problem!

Fur I don't use texture. I paint it all by hand.

As for rocks I use free stock images of real stones for textures. Just copy and paste the image onto your painting, press Ctrl+Shift+U to desaturate, set the image mode to overlay (or multiply if you prefer), and lower the opacity to what you see fit. I sometime tweak the levels to up or lower the contrast.

It'd be really cool seeing how you paint fur I've looked at thousands of tutorials and never found any that suited my style
