Hi Chrissa! New patron here. I'm not a digital artist. I paint miniatures. But I have no art background and have struggled over the years to "see" light, shadows, and all the rest, like an artist. Your vid tutorials are opening my eyes! Thank you!

chrissabug

Hey Aaron! Welcome in!! That’s so cool that you paint miniatures! They can get so complex and are beautiful! I’m so glad that the video tutorials are helpful for you! That makes me super happy to hear!

Devin Sunde

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!! I've always struggled with skin rendering because I don't know where to start so this (especially the tone map) was suuuuuper helpful!

Kimberley

Manuel Bernal

cindymon

Great tutorial! The tone map really gives more life to the skin, I'll try to apply that for sure!

Omg you explained everything so well!! Im so new to digital art its hard for me to figure out how things work and what to use for brushes especially. I thank you so much!!

chrissabug

Ahh! I’m so glad you liked the tutorial! Yeah, digital art can be overwhelming since there are so many tools! If you haven’t seen it, it might be helpful for you to watch my tutorial on my digital workflow for beginners. In that tutorial I try and actually label all the tools and brushes I use even more clearly for beginners to follow along.

Pink-lava
