Description My VERY FIRST fanart! xD It's turian from the game "Mass Effect". An alien race very disciplined and skilful in the art of war. Well, I hope you all like it ^^ Took around 2-3 hours I believe in photoshop with a wacoom and cup of coco

Cheers for watching!

you already know most of the fundamentals of colouring basically its working on the lights and darks

base colour

lighter colours of the base

whites and darks

if you have photoshop(I think gimp has it too) you can just use the smudge tool to blend your darker browns with your lighter ones especially the black lines going into the skin areas.

I played around with your drawing and using those kind of methods here kind of what you can do

you can check with the artist hospital they have tutorials on shading as well

Wow, thanks a lot mate! I really appreciate the advice ^^ And my drawing you worked on looks a lot more lively! Cheers a bunch ^^ Sadly I'm not much into the ways of photoshop - only recently learned how to use layers :S
What is this artist hospital you are talking about?

np glad to help out sometimes people just need another person to give some advice and show them how they can do it.

layers I used for this was:

1.sand texture image with layer modes
2.reptile texture image with layer modes
3.whites
4.Darks (black)
5.Your original art

Artist hospital ([link] )should have plenty of tutorials for you to check out for photoshop or anything else. If your like me and you learn better by being shown rather then by reading through lists of steps, youtube has a big list of video tutorials to watch [link] . This has helped me learn the special methods photoshop has to offer from when I was in multimedia [link] .

Best words this week. Truly. Development. :') I kinda had the feeling I couldn't get further with my drawings. Have had this feeling for, 2 years I guess. I really hope this is better that my first pieces - or at least different ^^ Thanks a lot mate!

Yay! I succeeded with something! ^o^~
Aaawh, but I think it's just getting better and better, all the time and VERY fast! O_O
Well, honestly, A LOT better, and different too. Not that your first pics were bad, but these are really GOOD.
Nah, it's nothing. Really. ^^
