No wonder oil paint looks so much more 'real'!
You just *layer* it. Like real life! (The ambient light of the room affects everything, and the eye ball is under the iris is under the light on the top of the eye)
To put what I mean in perspective, for pen, that last little flick of white light on the eye (looks awesome on yours btw) has to be planned at the very beginning or it won't be white when you're done waaaay back when you're first drawing the shape of the eye)
This tutorial made art make sense in a way I never thought I'd understand. I used to go through my dad's art books when I was really little and look at all the oil paintings and then look at my pen and think 'huh what??? How do they get it so REAL?', but now I *get it!*
Thank you!
I now get why oil paint gets used, why it can do what it does relative to other mediums, how photoshop works (seriously, being a mostly-ink-person, the layering never quite made sense in my head. I could *use* it, but the logistics of *why* it did that didn't make sense.)
I think it would drive me insane not being able to do it all in one sitting though! I'm having a hard enough time working on my interrupted novel plot base from yesterday!
Thank you for providing the gallery with such awesome Resources.
