Hi everyone!

It's time for the October idea submission session to see what we can get for this months exclusive tutorial.

Drop in the comments what you'd like to see for this months exclusive tutorial!

On the 13th of this month, I will gather all the ideas together and shortlist the ones that I think can be beneficial for everyone, then I'll put up a poll for you to vote on. Try to think about some techniques you'd like to learn, new methods and maybe even consider tutorial ideas on the thinking behind design and the thought process etc.

The rest is up to you! Go! :)

How to draw backgrounds? How to convey a theme? How to find my own style? How to find my style of pens (procreate)? How to not feel too discouraged when encountering hardships in beginner stage? How to draw-without-worrying-about-crossing-the-edge in procreate?

I'm new and in the beginning of working through both Patreon and YouTube content, but off the top of my head, I'd love to know about proportioning techniques and tricks when painting something that's mystical like a dragon or a new character/species in your mind? For example, using the head of the dragon to determine the width and height or letting certain features fall into parallel lines with other features. Things that help make something unseen feel very real. Oh! Also a bit of depth perception and playing with the colors to make the viewer/observer feel like they can walk right into the vastness of the art. As if the art were a portal and you could Super Mario 64 jump in.

Hey, I've seen several comments under your tutorials that mention this subject, but bear with me as I haven't come up with a crystal clear question yet. I'm not new to art, nor illustration, but I'm new to environments (thus my sub !!). When I watch you work (edited, I know), you make it look really easy to just throw down some shapes and it looks like a mountain. Now, even when I'm working with references, I simply cannot recreate that process. As a summary of the comments I've seen, they tend to ask how you know what shape to put down, from in your head, and know that it will deffo be a mountain. I am probably doing this topic no justice at all. I'm also very aware that sometimes it's just artists magic that makes it happen. Yet, I'm also aware there are several composition rules (rule of 3, layer caking etc) that you maybe working to, (unintentionally??)??? Or do you have tried and tested compositions that just work for you that you use more than other? Please, please, if you want to pick my brain over this, drop me a line no probs. Or don't. If you understand this shambles of a message you're a better man than I!!!

Is it possible to get a tutorial on how you would draw something outside of your style? Like trying to do your work but say in the style of Gustavo Dore which would be wild lol

I've been working on a novel and I want to be able to draw my own landscapes for it effectively.. So I was wondering if you could do a tutorial/thought process on how to make a scene revolving around volcanoes in a very rocky/fiery setting? With some kind of structure like a castle or a temple? Like a lava/rock type area set in a fantasy world. It would be so cool to see how the color scheme and setting all come together to get that dark and ominous feel to the finished work!

• Quick practice/exercises would be nice. [esp when you're low on time and energy] • Alternatively, for this spooky month, maybe how to create a glowy effects in dark settings. ('milky seas' and 'yosemite firefall' are examples that comes to mind. And that haunted castle atmostphere mentioned by nekomyco is neat too)

understanding lighting/shadow and how to put a colour palette together

These are all great ideas. But I follow you and joined Your Patreon because I want to learn how to paint as you do. Or as close as I can. Then I’ll figure out how to incorporate that into my own style. I’m sure the brushes will help, but I’m still not sure where/how to download them. But I think doing brushwork as you do is the key for me. I see you fill in texture on mountains or add clouds. You have this pattern of add, then erasing and then adding again. I’m sure practice and the right brushes will help. But truthfully I don’t know what you’re looking for as you do this or what I should be looking for as I work. I don’t go to art school, so I’m not sure what to call this. But that’s something I’d love to see. If you already did a tutorial on this, maybe you can tell me and I can buy it on gum road. Thanks so much! '

It's spooky season, so... A spooky town, or forest full of spider webs ?
