# all cheating
years ago I would have spent agonising hours mixing my cadmium red lights with my viridian greens to try to get a decent skin tone shadow. these days I just use the sample tool on some reference colour samples with my digital box of tricks ;)

# Oh, well that makes all the difference in the world!
Now I don't feel so bad about having no artistic ability.

At least you could have an ego to match your talent. Damnit.

I've earned my stripes, years of dipping my brushes in my tea and handle knobs smeared with bloody oil paint. long gone

Are you modelling first or is it all painted from scratch?

# working the sketches up from
loads of reference pics and tracing. Then colour sampling from a bank of colour swatches and photo samples. But I tend to paint digitally alot like I did when in oils (although there was no way I could get the light or colour as good as this without computer help). Painter X definetly makes me look far more talented than I actually am. always try to stick to Greg Hildebrandt's cool shadows/warm light rule too (Hildebrandt was the guy along with his brother who did that original star wars poster)

all the Deri Air stuff is done with teh same technique. but it's a looser style and far more enjoyable

I sent a long sincere e-mail to a well known 'trad-digital' artist in the US asking for advice on brush technique a while back, who amazingly, not only replied but sent me the customised brushes he uses to load into my palette

# Thanks.
I got a lot of stuff like that ( brushes and swatches ) from Brian Haberlin after doing some cell-work of his ink.

Good stuff mate.
