Mecha Mega Robot update almost done!
Here is the 4th of the Mecha MEGA Robot visual character concept art process UPDATE (there are previously posted of part 1: Mecha Robot step by step drawing, part2 Painting Mech process tutorial and part 3 Giant Robot drawing and painting process). I try as much as I can to finish it up this weekend but unfortunately...I can only find a few hours to play with it. I amped up the Machine gun, changed and tweak the design a little bit on the bottome half. It's been a really fun session creating mech since I haven't really done a full launched Mecha in a long while. A few more painted session then I think I will call it done.
ART tips: Talent is often overrated, and often deceive you. Whether you have it or not, forget that it's there. Practice, practice, and practice is only one sure way I know will make me the better artist.
Here are step by step recap
1) Thumbnail...(do about 8-10 then pick one)

Question for the blog! I've been looking at the artist Glenn Rane who did a lot of the world of warcraft art ( http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/viewer.php?artist=raneman&cat=warcraft&art=28 ) I love the soft shading he has everywhere on the armour, I'm wondering if anyone knows how he achieves this effect. I know a soft brush, but generally I have to make my brush HUGE before it does that really gentle layer of tone. I see this style quite a lot and really want to learn more about it. Just wondering what his method could be if anyone could take a guess!
Thanks.
Pokepetter> thanks brother!
Snow> Yeah, he has awesome work! Did you look at Matt Dixon tutorial? That might give you some clue. Here: http://www.mattdixon.co.uk/Forum/Waaaargh_WIP_strip.jpg
The lighting are similar I thought. Then you could just smooth things out using blending and/or soft brushes to clean up.
