I can't stress it enough: No black! Rocks don't do well with black shadows. Much too dark. Most textured brushes will do fine, and you can just take a picture of the pavement in front of your house to get a decent texture. You can also use the steps shown as guide to how much detail you need in the distance.

"Ranarh's tiny tips" is a collection of iddy-biddy tutorials, each containing small bites of advice anyone can chew, aimed at beginner's level artists. They are not software-dependent. If there's a problem you have, something you feel someone should finally explain, or are just curious what I have to say on a particular artistic issue, feel free to tell me.


You'll find the whole Tiny Tips Collection, plus some full-grown walkthroughs in my tutorial section .

I know - I've been feeling bad about keeping you waiting so long. But here is a treat: you may choose which one I should do next!

serbus In reply to Ranarh [2010-04-21 22:17:24 +0000 UTC]

Haha, no worries. Um... Perspective?

Ranarh In reply to serbus [2010-04-21 22:40:03 +0000 UTC]

Aerial or linear? - Uff, I don't know if I'm fit for it . . .
Can I talk you into swamps instead - whoops, I'm trailing off - okay, perspective it is!

serbus In reply to Ranarh [2010-04-22 00:06:35 +0000 UTC]

Haha, um... how about perspective in swamps? Lol, jk. Mostly I have troubles with perspective with the human figure. Foreshortened arms and stuff like that.

My fiancΓ©'s idea - should have been in a later tutorial, but it makes perfect sense here. Thanks
