Maby I am stupid, but what do you mean whit "clean up" and how are you doing that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Clean up, is cleaning up your lines and adding details, if you look at the girl that is a good example. Hope I helped!

Ok, and how can I do that, exacly? But only if you whant to show! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cleaning up is carefully erasing the stuff that doesn't look good, and adding color/more dramatic light/shape, or whatever details it needs to look perfect.
So, to be any more "exactly", you learn to notice what looks good or bad by looking carefully and thinking hard.
Hope this helps...

Thank you for sharing some of your tips and tricks! I'm utterly (badly) new at digital coloring and this will come in handy and as a great source of inspiration. Much obliged!

it's.... not really a tutorial. you just showed us the steps without explaining how you did it.

Considering she has shown us how to use the brushes previously, she assumes we can retain the information so she doesn't repeat herself at every turn.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
then why bother repeating the steps for the whole thing in the first place?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I said she didn't repeat the steps.
The artist is showing us what she did to make her painting, and that means she had to repeat a few techniques and doesn't want to jam it down our throats - on this page of the tutorial I think she wanted to show progress and the order in which she painted.
If you read the previous pages you'd know what the techniques entailed and what the brushes were/ where to get them.

I don't think you quite understood. If she already showed it, why not go stage by stage rather then section by section, like any normal tutorial does? all it does is elongate something that doesn't need to be.

It's just their style. read the first page then go, if you'd prefer; these pages are nice IMO because I like seeing an artists flow/order as well.

It's because he/she is selfish.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hardly.
She's not obligated to help people. Be thankful for what she has given; it's not like she owes it to anyone.

Yes.

I have a question:
Do you use the computer mouse to paint or a sketch thing to the computer? You know the ones who work as a paper, but is conected to the computer...
I think you know what I mean... xD
Beautiflu btw!

She uses a tablet, that's the "a sketch thing to the computer" you speak of. They usually run about in the $200 price range for good new small/medium sized ones. However you can access older models on ebay. I got an intuos 3 small for 90$. for a begining digital artist (i'm mainly traditional) it's worth the buy. Good pressure sensitivity good price. but it doesn't make up for artistic talent i promise you that. and the process still takes hours (i'm working on a piece so far that's taken me 26 hours, about three days of 6-8 hr work (i'm on school break

Hey, anybody reading this or you, when you finish painting the wings and colors, do you erase the line art/sketch or do you paint on top of it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i guess she paints on top of it. because in part 2 you can see in the layer order that she has merged the sketch and the multiyply layers to one background. then she paints the refining on a new "normal" layer above.

WHHOAAA... do u make all ur artworks from scratch?? like does inspiration just hit u in the head like BANG or do u need a reference picture??
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I love how you use points of detail instead of rocking the ENTIRE thing with detail. Allows the brain to fill in the blanks.
Your work is wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

what program do you use to make your awesome artwork?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's working on a psd file so I'm guessing photoshop.

Can I just, ya know, say something?
D: DAMMIT!
THANK YOU!!!!! SERIOUSLY. LOWER CASE LETTERS FAIL TO EXPRESS THE VOICE WHICH I SAY THIS WITH. Dear god, I've been looking for a tutorial that dumbs this technique down for two years.
Now, if there's some idiot-proof tutorial out there on why to pic colors in the first place and base colors changing/altering when different colored light sources come into play, I might actually progress.
Thanks again. You have -NO- idea how helpful this is.
Oh wait, how (this is obvious, FYI) do you make it all look so... clean? O__O The colors fit flawlessly so you don't notice the blue to the green. What is your not-so-secret secret?

Luv it when good artists give tutorials to the masses! thank you

I noticed that in the last screenshot, you have a layer named hue/saturation 1; what is that for? Are you, erm how to say, like, duplicating your image in a new layer for color tweaks?
If you are, do you know of adjustment layers?
I don't mean to sound patronizing if you do, I'm just self taught in PS and assume everyone else is, and I wouldn't know about them if someone else hadn't told me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When you use an Adjustment Layer and collapse it down onto the layer below it, Photoshop automatically renames that layer as whatever Adjustment Layer was used.
This is most likely what happened here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, that would make sense, except why are there 3 layers that seem to be of the completed image?
I think Im just analyzing this way too hard haha
