I use pretty much similar technique and layer setup (shadow, occlusion, ambient light, master light, glows, etc. and I also "paint" by using masks), however your final results are much better and I also learned a few theoretical aspects of light and shadow!

@Anri - Thanks for sharing...@Marc - Thanks man! :) <br />@Anri - Thanks for sharing Anri, I'm glad my posts could be of some benefit for you. In my experience, the impatience and frustration is something most of us experience, I know I do too, and the key is to push through and do it anyway. It will get easier, and more fun some day ;) So long as you're just drawing for yourself, and not a client, I think it's smart do what you like to do, and not think about others ;) Cheers!

A friend shared this post on Facebook...Hi Johannes.<br />A friend shared this post on Facebook and I immediately clicked it because of the artwork. I thought "ooh let's look at some more amazing art". That's all I do these days and not focusing on my own talent. I'm not spending enough time sculpting it as I would like. I think my problem is impatience and frustration when I look at a piece and it's just not coming together like it was in my head. I read through this post and some other things here on your blog and something clicked in me. I always make art with the focus on pleasing the audience and not myself. I can see that you enjoy what you do and that inspires me. I think lighting and rendering a scene is always the thing that scares me so I usually stop at the sketches. Thanks for posting this.Anrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346855140201612831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927880203280601757.post-27138788781665576242014-08-15T11:29:32.985-07:002014-08-15T11:29:32.985-07:00brilliant!brilliant!Marc Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169840402518129300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927880203280601757.post-84468809052443678482014-08-15T05:13:36.216-07:002014-08-15T05:13:36.216-07:00@ Chander - Cool!

@ Sara - Thanks...@ Chander - Cool! I'm glad :) <br />@ Sara - Thanks, you're welcome :) I never played around with the pen-tool all that much. I like the simplicity of the lasso-tool, and that it's not a vector. I can easily cut out and erase from a pixelated shape. Also, with the lasso-tool I'm flexible in either putting down points (like with the pen) and just drawing the edge depending on if I hold down the Command-key or not. So flexibility and simplicity. But I know there are real famous artists who use vectorized shapes a lot, so that's probably an equally as viable technique :) Johannes Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332115865997777723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927880203280601757.post-48072892798570377182014-08-14T09:03:55.919-07:002014-08-14T09:03:55.919-07:00Hey J!

I have a question: is there a reason why you prefer the lasso tool instead of the pen tool when making your selections? :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />SSaxen8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15288360490750135050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927880203280601757.post-10121140905700725352014-08-14T07:11:52.770-07:002014-08-14T07:11:52.770-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001590984231937119noreply@blogger.com
