Awesome tut! What happened to the male figure tut though?
For some reason the video file was corrupted, so I took it down. I’ll try to fix it when I get back to the US.
Daarken, this video you’re talking about: was it the same you uploaded to Youtube some time ago?
Thanks
Yup.
very good tut, let’s practice hand!!
Odd. Good luck with that.
Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing. Hands are definitely tricky at first, but this is an excellent way to break them down.
nice work as always.. :)
I am so happy that I found this website, it has helped me to take a few steps forward with my painting that would have taken me far longer to do on my own.
I have a posted my attempt at this tutorial up on my blog and I’d love to get some feedback if you have time!

I like it, but what about the textures on a normal human hand? Like folds in the skin or all those little, almost invisible lines?
I don’t really add textures to skin or anything like that. Most of the time I just paint textures by hand, I never try to go for a super photorealistic approach. I would rather just paint the textures using brushes instead of trying to use photos for skin, especially since you mentioned “almost invisible lines.” If they are almost invisible, then when you zoom out you really won’t be able to see them.
