Step-by-Step Painting Red Tutorial

[EArkham]

Helloa,

I\'ve added a new tutorial to my site. Not claiming to be the definitive painting red tutorial or anything, but it\'s a technique that works well for me. And it\'s presented in a pretty spiffy way.

Step-by-Step : Painting Red Tutorial

Hope it helps someone out there.

Excellent I love the simple step by step, I\'ve bookmarked your site and am off to have a detailed look
Thanks for sharing, I know this will come in handy

I love the format where you can sort of \"flip book\" through it and see the transitions.
Nice site. I\'m going to use your technique for patchwork to create shoelaces on a figure I\'m working on.

I think this is the definative way to paint red...

lollol

Great job!

Nice tute bookmarked it. Like the way you present it as well.

 

[Bastetcat]

Like the tute AND the CSS! Interesting take on the drop-down menu.

bookmarked - and very user friendly. the key to a good tute is good explanations to comlement the pics i find.

nice one

agreed, nice tute and loved the flip-book presentation

you might like to try a yellow glaze after step 10 I find it gives it a richer tone without making it \'orangey\'

Don\'t really have a prob with reds but this tute is exellent!
had great fun fliping up and down the progress \"bar\"
Someone should pay you for this, it\'s gold I tells ya! GOLD!

nice site and interesting way of doing sbs

Hee, thanks for the kind words, folks. I\'ll probably do future tutorials in a similar format.

Regarding the yellow glaze, that\'s a good idea. I left out a lot of the optional colour choices, like mixing in green to deaden the red or adding yellow or carmine red glazes, so forth. The flipbook was getting kinda big. <g>

I don\'t have a problem with doing bright reds. Highlighting with orange, but not getting the orange effect is not too hard. But, I never could get dark reds done well. This might just be the very thing! Thanks, Kep!

Excellent tutorial. I love how you\'ve laid out the site so you can quickly see the difference between steps.

I don\'t. It would be useful if the image, menu and text all fitted in the window.

 

[vincegamer]

They do.
I have to scroll the screen so the underneath text fits, and that blocks out the above-the-pic text, but as that never changes you only need to read the underneath text.

The final colour is red gore, which is fine if that\'s the colour that you want. There are too many stages in the painting, I would start with the base colour then shade it, and not bother with inks. Very nice website tho.

I really enjoyed and learned from your articles. Please keep it up!

That is a fantastic article. And yes, very nifty indeed I will find it useful, thanks.

I gotta say, I love the format of your tutorial... I like being able to just drag the mouse down over each step and watch the mini change... it\'s quite a useful tool to use! good job!
