Tutorial Piece #1

This was quite an eye opening experience for me, and a ton of fun.

 

Last week I ordered a few art technique books, one of them being a book on painting sci-fi art by Francis Tsai called Extreme Worlds. Inside the book is a tutorial to create the painting I did above.

 

At first as I was looking through the book I was thinking, there's no way Sketchbook Pro is going to be able to create any of this stuff... it's too awesome and I'm just an amateur artist with an iPad. I'm going to have to buy a wacom and spend a grand on Photoshop... but I decided to give it a shot. The results were and are amazing.

 

Perspectives are off and all the sizing isn't correct but I think it turned out pretty darn good for a book tutorial using SkBP on my iPad. I'll probably do more tutorials and share my results here as well. If I'm brave enough I might just try something of my own, once I feel saucy. :)

 

This took about 6 hours and I followed an eleven step walkthrough. You can see screenshots of my progress in a collage piece I created below using the Moxier Collage app.

 

Everything was done with my finger, I have yet to order or try a stylus.

 

Who says learning can't be FUN!?!
