I put this video together based on requests for Digital painting instruction. This is the first in a short series of exercises to help you get better at digital painting over all. If you've been using it a while, you can still do these exercises, as some of these I came up with for myself after having painted in photoshop for years.
Do the exercise as many times as it takes to do it well, and go back to it once in a while.. this is a skill you can build on and make ingrained into your being :D If you can control the brush, you can use it to do what you need, if you fight the brush, then it's going to be difficult to enjoy the process.
Keep in mind, an exercise like this is a good place to make mistakes and learn, doing a painting you care about the end result of, is not.. if you mess up a practice run.. who cares.. right?
So go grab your tablet and get started!
