Description
Tumblr | Facebook | Etsy | Artstation | InstagramMoons are quite likely to appear in fantasy paintings, and even more so in sci-fi. Here are some things to avoid to make them look bad. Note that my exemplary moon is white because Earth's is too, but it can have any colour
"Ranarh's tiny tips" is a collection of iddy-biddy tutorials, each containing small bites of advice anyone can chew, aimed at beginner's level artists. They are not software-dependent. If there's a problem you have, something you feel someone should finally explain, or are just curious what I have to say on a particular artistic issue, feel free to tell me.
You'll find the whole Tiny Tips Collection, plus some full-grown walkthroughs in my tutorial section . Check out my blog and website for exclusive tutorials, walkthroughs, and tips.

I know a day I tried to do a detailled moon, but I don't know if I did it well. I can give you the link about it.

You might want to use more photographic reference when painting. Concerning the moon, your software probably has a command that spherizes.

Thank you very much. Having struggled with a lot of things in my early painting time, I've always found tutorials to be a great help. And now I feel obligated to share what I've learned.
I'm very happy you like them.

what i like in your tutorials is how they show us to use our brain. Think before you do...
All these tipps are very true for a lot of other subjects than the moon.
Thank you!
