Art resources: Inktober
Oct. 10th, 2017 09:04 pmSo, 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
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!
His channel for you browse for stuff that interests you: Alphonso Dunn YT
Cross hatching tips from Peter Paul Rubens
Top Three Cross-Hatching Mistakes and how to avoid them
How to Create realistic textures Part 1 -->
mific there's stuff on fur in Part 1 (and part 2 as well)
Playlist for animals
Tree trunks and branches
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):

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
