Tutorials & Resources
Went out to bookstore and to grab enough dinner to make me lunches for the next couple of days. Should not have gone by the magazines section, because over in Art was The Complete Guide to Creating Digital Painting an EXPENSIVE ($30) ad for Corel Painter X collection of tutorials on all sorts of techniques for making digital paintings. The first part starts with changing pictures into paintings, but not just the "run a few filters" crud you see online that produce stuff that looks like filtered photos. Stuff that requires you have a reasonable grasp of artistic techniques. And then it goes into actual digital painting, using all sorts of techniques - an oil-type one, an Italian Renaissance on, colored pencils, detailed examples of painting seascapes, metallic textures, and tuts on painting digitally in the styles of various artists like van Gogh, Hopper, Monet, and Constable. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vom_marlowe, it tells you what brush, variant, opacity, etc. :D And it has sections on art techniques like perspective and composition, creating hair and clouds, painting fabric, etc.
It also has, scattered throughout, links to various resources for stock images, etc. Whee! There's a CD with a 30-day version of Painter X (Painter XI is the most current version, though), and it's got the various stock photos and sketches used in the tutorials on it, so you can practice without having to spend time drawing your own base pictures if you don't want.
Of course NOW I want to try all these techniques, like seeing if I can turn photos of friends into Renaissance paintings and the like and YOU ARE NOT TO LET ME DO THIS THIS WEEK. If I start asking for photos of you guys, DO NOT SEND THEM UNTIL NEXT MONDAY.
List o' resources

http://lunartex.deviantart.com - free
http://www.noteaccess.com/ - notes on art made for real media but applicable to digital as well
http://forums.cgsociety.org - forums for digital painting with tips and tutorials
ETA: I believe it's a collection of tutorials from the UK-based Corel Painter Magazine.
ETA2: You can buy it here for GBP12.99. It is indeed over 250 pages' worth of tutorials and a few articles about digital painters.

P.S. I go away for a lousy two months and they make a Blade of the Immortal anime on me. What else have I missed?
