So, we're all knee-deep in Inktober work so I guess at least some of you are using tutorials or looking things up somewhere. I certainly did for my last piece and was so impressed by the things I learned I decided to share (I especially remember [personal profile] mific saying she hadn't drawn animals in years -- guess what, I found something for you!).

So please share useful links, articles, tutorials you have used or can remember in the comments. I found Alphonso Dunn's stuff on YouTube today and boy was it ever helpful for a variety of things!

Fire

In this one I was actually hoping to see if he'd shade any part of the fire because I really didn't know if I should at all, but he didn't. So I left it at the linework too.

And here is some stuff I practiced with his tutorials (first the stuff from the Rubens, and another one and then the one on textures):

Oh ho! I think the animal comment was from me! I haven't drawn them in quite some time and am looking to get some practice in - hence trying my hand at the eagles piece yesterday.

Thank you so much for sharing the helpful tutorials! I love these kinds of vids especially, and how they so clearly demonstrate all the little steps. But sometimes searching Youtube can give you an overwhelming number of choices, that it's hard to weed out the good from the bad, so I appreciate the links. Checking them out now. :D :D

Guess what? I have to teach the topic "Hatching" this week! So these Hatching and Cross-hatching Dos and Don'ts vids are especially helpful. Bookmarking this channel. Thanks again! :D
