I’d love to get a tutorial on your process for rendering/details, i’m looking forward to the next one! : )

Jamal Hankins

I think facial expression s would be great!

Turkishjade

Didn't "faces/expressions" win the last poll?

Courtney Dobbs

omg would love ALL of these! but my first choice would be lighting :)

Joshua Baker

I want to see your take on all these! However constructing faces would be my first go-to. I’d love to show you some art that you’ve inspired, if you’d ever like to see!

Rasa Lenceviciute

I would like to see in future about drawing different races. Online majority tutorials are about white male or female . And where is difference between asians and africans . would be interesting to see about that 🙂

Elizabeth Scott

Composition would be very helpful! There are so many tutorials on faces available online but composition is a key ingredient that I don’t see very much of!

Rebeka

composition please! 😊 I'm always struggling with it

ClaireMillerian

Proper use of lightning (and shadows) has always been difficult for me! I'd love a tutorial on that!

Tais

i'd like to suggest a tutorial about keeping your piece with energy even while fully rendered. i know much of your process is intuitive but i'm sure you have lots of tips of how we can keep the same flow from the sketch, how to notice if you're overworking it and how to keep the mood and soul of it from beginning to end. i'd love to see a detail video about it. (if there's something similar here already i'm sorry i just pledged for the first time!)

Loish

it did. i wrote in the description of the tutorial post: "Allright guys, here it is: the second tutorial video for you, my lovely patrons! This one is about choosing colors. You guys actually voted for expressions but I didn’t want to do two tutorials about construction in a row - I wanted to try a different kind of subject as well, but I will definitely be doing expressions next month! "

Turkishjade

Apologies, I truly didn't see that. Can't wait!

Angela

Lighting and skin tone! The way you paint skin tones always has so much life and depth, regardless of the color scheme of the over painting! I'd love to see some tips around how you decide on the base color, shadows, midtones, and highlights! Similar reason why I'd be interested in lighting - just feels like you utilize both of these extremely well in your paintings :)

I would love to hear about your thought process on how you approach painting your environment studies. How do you apply the same basic design principles that you use for painting characters? Or are environments completely different altogether? I’m curious as to how you go about stylizing your environment paintings, because they all look so full of character.

Em W.

Also, have you noticed a big difference in your prints when you paint outside the range of printable color?

Alan Šabanović

I would like to know if you ever think about facial muscles when you construct expressions for your characters so if you could cover that topic that would be awesome.

Eri

Skin tones is such a struggle for me, they either look too pink or yellow, sometimes I just can't get it done. Neutral lips colors are also a problem 🤧🤧🤧

Nick

+1

Loish

nope it usually turns out pretty good! it depends a lot on the print shop though, the places where i get my prints made tends to get the colors just right.

Tamar

Can you make a tutorial on how to start selling art out turning it into a job or at least a way to make money? I know that’s someday that art is what I’ll want to do and I’m curious about how you started and if you have any tips to do that!

Lighting and creating mood for a character is challenging for me especially integrating it into a background/environment.

Lauri Panopoulos

I'd also love to learn how/where to gather interesting lighting/mood reference as part of a lighting/mood video....but anything you'd like to share with us would be great.

Lauri Panopoulos

How about placing facial features from different angles.

Lilanoire

I’d love to see this too!
