Description
at long last! a loish tutorial! this one was commissioned by the folks over at autodesk-sketchbook , for the March Hero Challenge that just went up! more info here - March Hero Challenge: Stephen SilverYou can find the full tutorial over on my website!
although the art was made in autodesk sketchbook 7 (more info on the program here - sketchbook.com ), the method applies to basically any digital program that has basic layer and brush functions. i mostly use photoshop but have been playing around with sketchbook more since getting a cintiq companion (it's a more intuitive and fast program for touch devices).
for more information on my techniques (including background information, tips, and links to process vids and other resources i've done in the past): please check out my FAQ!! - F.A.Q - new and improved

Yeah, I agree with everyone else. That is an amazing picture and a really well done tutorial. Can I ask a beginner question, and anyone feel free to answer, I notice on many tutorials and speed paintings etc, the artist will say, do X, and we can see that doing X makes a big improvement on the image, but as a beginner I am never sure what the actual process is that we are being told to do. e.g. in this tutorial for example, up in Part 5: Base Color, Step 2.3 the instruction is "Clean edges and fix color layer". As a beginner I don't actually know what that means. What exactly does one do to "Clean edges"? And what is the process of "fixing" the color layer? Any thoughts on these specific instructions would be very much appreciated!

hey! thanks for your comment!
What I mean by that is: once you set your lines to multiply and change the color of the lines, this usually reveals some inconsistencies in your color layer. some color blocking might appear sloppy because it becomes 'exposed' by the lighter lines. so you have to go to your color layer and make sure it's all consistent and neatly colored in. if you look at the outer edge of the hair in the step before.. and compare it to the step after.. you can see that it's been made a bit 'neater'. that's what i mean
hope that helps!
