So beautiful how you just slap down colors and refine it, there is so much depth in your work! ^^

Hey there! I look at your work regulary and there are some really brilliants and fresh paintings here!
Just one question: do you plan something before the first step? I mean even if the strokes seem messy, all the scene is already set. Do you make sketches before that or is it pure inspiration (which were if it's the case purely unfair lol)

Thanks!
I usually just draw random things, but the artist requesting this told me they wanted a hotspring scene with birds.

well ok, but for this one, did you plan something before placing the elements or did it come by itself? 
π: 0 β©: 1
It comes by itself ^^ when you have a good visual library stuff like this usually comes by themselves. Its also good to know basic art theory, which also just goes on automode as youΒ paint.

ok, thanks for the answer. Btw your tutorials are always very pleasant to show, because there are simple and efficient.
So Let me wish you a happy holiday and all the best for what's to come!

Sorry to ask but wow on one layer is really amazing! I have to use layer modes for lighting and shading when I paint. How do you go about choosing colours for light and shades?

I scrolled from top to bottom and I think "Yes...okay..yes...well.." and than the last step I looked like this ->Β :eyepopping:Β

I'm glad that you excluded all of the steps for the last one, because those aren't as important as the initial work. it's the 80/20 rule. Any steps after those first few, besides the final, are not helpful to most aspiring artists, their problems lie within the first moments of a painting.

Awesome! I love seeing these progress shots. I'm curious how many layers you used, and what things were on what layers.

I'm just wondering how you came up with the initial idea in the first place. How do you plot out these scenes? o:

person in the description wanted their charasters in a hotspring surrounded by tropical birds x3

I think it's so great that you create walkthroughs like this, to show us how you do it and help us out a bit! ^_^

holy hell! how can you tell whats going on in the first image? lol
π: 0 β©: 1
Because I have the image in my head xD

I honestly have to say, you are one of my favourite artists. The attention and detail you place in your art is fantastic. The colours are so vibrant and lighting is placed in the most accurate spots that it gives feeling and depth. You inspire me and make me want to be a better artist.
Ahh, great job! :'D keep up the great work snuffs

π: 0 β©: 1
I cant get past the fact you can do all this on one layer ;w;

How do you make it look so easy? ;-; Even tho i can't draw like that x'D
π: 0 β©: 1
Better visuall library = Easier to do
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah i know :/ but i dont really know how to do realisctic stuff so its harder for meh x'D
π: 0 β©: 1
that is why you practice and learn the theories in each of the art cathegories.
