Well, you always got Chuck Norris to compete with

I will say though, the way you set that tutorial up was perfect and the humor you added just made it that much better

Absolutely insanely helpful. You are amazing. To tell you the truth, I saw the star of it and immediately thought "Oh, bawlz. This is going to be one of those tutorials that tells you the most obvious thing ever." I watched it anyway and found out that it was the complete opposite. Never knew to do shadows like that. Keep up the amazing tutorials! ^^

This clears things up very well....thank you it's extremel helpful.
Where did you learn how to do this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ratrien In reply to TurquoiseEchoes [2010-09-26 19:27:54 +0000 UTC]

Well...it's a little math, a little physics, a lot of observation and a bit of common sense ^^

P.S: all I have is a high school diploma...I refused to continue my traditional education, because it's slow and out of touch. I've learned more in the INTERNET in one single day, by following my own curiosity, then in the decade in the traditional education system, where somebody is trying to teach me something that somebody else tough I should know, in a manner that stopped working 50 years ago...rant rant snap snap rant snap rant rant I hate school and I love information!

TurquoiseEchoes In reply to Ratrien [2010-10-01 05:03:19 +0000 UTC]

How true... In a way you are probably smarter than some who have college degrees (no offense to those who do) because you're willing to go out and learn something on your own. We need more people like you. ^^ and thanks for the work.

Ratrien In reply to TurquoiseEchoes [2010-10-01 08:39:50 +0000 UTC]

I wouldn't say smarter...I just have a-hell-of-a-lot-less tolerance for wasting my freakin' time ^_^
And about "needing more people like me"...careful what you wish for

This was really useful. It looked very complicated, but the way you explain it makes it all clear and simple! I'm definitly going to use this as a reference whenever I need some backup in my drawings.
