You can try joining the Sketchers or Paintchats. There isn't any other kind of program like OC where one can host. Did you try seeing if Hamachi with Nsocs would work? I know other people who have Vista that can run OC just fine, so it shouldn't be an issue. NSocs is listed in the tutorial...

Gouache can be opaque as well as transparent which watercolors can only work as "transparent". I prefer goauche as my medium to painting to watercolor due to the ability to be opaque and it can act like watercolor. It's also easier to rework a picture in goauche vs watercolor. Most of the...

There are a ton as a STICKY thread in this forum.

You need to understand the basics like how to control the values of a picture, or understanding chiaroscuro before thinking any program is going to get you to "color realistically" If you can't shade/color realistically with a pencil, don't expect Photoshop to do the job for you.

RE: GOOD Painting Tutorial Then you're asking for the wrong thing XD Coloring realistically has nothing to do with the program you use.

The only time I've seen Burn and Dodge used effectively is when the person works in grisaiile/greyscale mode. They'd only effect the values in the grey shade and place a flat color. They'd use overlay mode for the grey values. This is due to the color variations going to wild and unpredictable...

One thing to note don't ever ask by "years" if your improvement is good unless it's over 5. It's how much you draw that makes the improvement, not number of years. I say over 5 because then at least if you're really doing it for that long you should be asking how many drawings you should do to...

If I remember correctly you have to keep a nib at a certain angle or otherwise you'll cause the "prongs" to split open and spill more ink than normal. It takes almost a year to get used to nibs, or 1000 drawings, and even then expect to use lots of correction fluid

I set palettes according to mood of the piece, I will make adjustments on the fly but most of the time the colors are actually dependent on the BACKGROUND. The background is your reflective light most of the time so it's best to chose colors that work with it. I try to stay away from pure white...

Interesting head shape! :D

You can save or blend the markers with alcohol, since they're alcohol based.

Odd, I remember Hamachi being free. I never had to buy a premium account and I still use it

Amazon.com has some good deals on the Wacom series a lot of the times. Ebay is another place, but going to Wacom's site directly isn't bad. http://www.coolgraphicstuff.com and there are college student discounts on several places. http://shopper.cnet.com/?tag=hd_ts That is a fun way to...

If you'd like some more tutorial links just note me, some are from a personal collection I wouldn't want to post publicly.

Yes. Being a poor artist doesn't mean it's ok to steal when this is a hobby for most. It's a weak defense. I remember using things like pencils and paper, and not worried about Photoshop. Photoshop certainly didn't make my art great. It was practice. I got better actually using free alternatives...

Seriously, he's already doing the abusing the youtube posts. If we were getting in trouble for 4chan style image threads, why is it acceptable to youtubewang?

The butt is actually a "Butterfly" shape Henry Yan is fun to look and learn from: http://www.henryyanart.com/index.php?board=drawing&action=show&page=1164264300 George Bridgman is another fun book to look through, you can download 2 of his books here...

I think there are a lot of tutorials out there, if people aren't reading or looking at them, it's going to be a problem. There are many exercises that people should do but don't want to because they're in a rush to have a cool style. I only do short tips on "massing" and stuff that I actually...

I like how a simple request for a politics forum now became a debate about politics.... -.-;;;

So what is preventing you from getting a blogger account which is free, like Livejournal in the meantime? If you're cool like dat, try DEADjournal. Livejournal was created specifically for various styles like friends only and private. You can even pre-screen comments you may not want on your...
