7) Then I begin to flesh out and render the head, focusing on big shapes and define values.
8) After I get all the big shape within the head, then I go in and refine secondary shape.
*TIP: Keep the value within the existing range of the area when paint, all I am trying to do is to make the existing values more readable. I am not really painting or introducing any more than 10% of new values within the area. Don't over paint it!

I suggest you make the mountains in the background a bit warmer. You could also add some clouds and some plants to really make it alive.
Looking great so far!
very nice!love it:X
Yesterday I saw the interview(again)
and I thought "This guy is totally awesome.And he is human!I wonder if Xia is human too..."
So I ask you:Are you human Xia?Cuz your art is incredible!!!Keep it up!!!(If I keep up this I am gonna run out of compliments.Oh yeah!I will ask Chris, pokepetter and the other members!Can I rely on you pokepetter and Chris?)
Xia don't read that /\ :)
Dahaca: regardomg which interview you talked about???
Peace!
Have you ever considered doing a corel painter tutorial? I say this because, I much prefer painter over photoshop, and I know thats just preference, but I love your style it's perfect and I am struggling to replicate it in painter. I'm not sure whether you're trained in painter or even know how to use it but I thought it's worth asking. It's hard with very limited painter tutorials out there to really learn its potential, just dribbly deviant art .pdfs.
If I could see how you did maybe one piece of work in it I could use that as the basis for converting all your photoshop paintings into corel painter.
Otherwise do you know any good painter tutorial sites,? All I really have is a good video by Jason Chan.
I need to paint these drawings I'm doing! :( :P
Thanks alot and keep up the good work.
Regards,
Tim McLeod.
Pokepetter> Thanks bro! I am planing to have magma fall with tons of volcanos, cliff. I will have to keep it cool for now so that it will contrast with the lava & magma. Thanks for the tips.
negar> It will get meaner and meaner, watch out dear. This is one MEAN dragon. ;)
dahaca> Thanks bro. I wish I am getting better faster. I still have lots of problem trying to be consistently good with values and nail down everything. ART is HARD!
I wish I were a robot. (No, I didn't read that at all)
luca> Thanks brother, I am also running out of the way to take the compliment also. and I wish I were a robot.
chris> Oh yeah, I forgot what I actually am. Thank for reminding me brother. I am actually not a robot.
snow> It's the matter of preference. Artists can pick their tool, but the principle remain the same. I am too found of Painter, but I am way faster in PS with all the customization and brushes over the years...it for the work flow purpose. But if I am blogging full-time, then I will make video of all the programs available out there. So as of now, no luck brother. :) but some day in the future far far away.
pokepetter> I have Ryan Church & Dusso. Kinda expensive but Amazing stuff.
Andrew> Yes, indeed. He's one of the best artists in the industry.
And thanks for your quick responses to my comments Xia, you're an amazing resource!
