    Willing to help out as mentor!Check the thread for info!

    Hey guys,

    I'm finally getting back into my own stuff again and I always loved teaching/helping.. So if anyone is interested from learning from/with me, hit me up with a PM, or post in here. I specialize in environments and concept-art, but I have been working on my foundations, and consider myself okay'ish all-around

    Let me know!

    My out-dated portfolio: http://fruktsallad.carbonmade.com

    Oh boy! First here...I guess that means you have to accept me now haha. Teach me your secrets.

    But seriously, I would be interested in a little guidance and help from you. As you know I feel I am weak when it comes to environments, painting from imagination, and colour--all three of which you are quite good in, so I think this will work out.

    Anyhoo, hopefully you would be interested in mentoring me, but if you feel you want someone else I wouldn't be TOO offended . I think the biggest issue is time zones, but I'm sure we can figure out a schedule for msn.

    I'm definitely interested if you have the time/space, Dile.

    I've pretty much never drawn/painted environments so I would really appreciate some tips/guidance.

    I am also interested if you have space. I have always focused more on characters and purposely avoid environments. I feel like this would be a great opportunity for me.

    I can see that you're absolutely overrun with people asking for help, but if you ever have a spare minute, I would love to study alongside you and hopefully gain information on painting in general. I have Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai, but I have no real knowledge of how to paint; I definitely need help in that area.

    Thank you for considering me.

    If you still got spots then I'd love to join. I'm in the same boat as Mitchoo and would just like some guidance on where to get started. If you've got the bandwidth to +1 more person then I'd be very interested. If not... I'd still be very interest but then superman can only do so much right?

    I prefer working through Messenger ([email protected]). Willing to sign up for skype or just work on an email basis.

    Let me know

    Hey dile! :)

    I hope there is still some space for me left...
    I thought to give this a try because most people quit before they even started :D
    My preferred messenger is skype, perhaps you can send me your name and i will contact you? :)

    By the way i am interested in foundations in / and environments.
    For helping you, i don't need totally guidance :D
    Just some tips, exercises and you get me quiet for a time, haha!

    Greetings
    Silwynar :)

    Hi, I was wondering if you would mind mentoring me if there is still space. I'm trying to improve my speed painting skills as well as my environment illustration.

    My portfolio is here: http://www.chocolateburgers.co.uk and I also have a DA account: http://chibichibichan.deviantart.com/

    thanks

    Hejsan Dile,
    jag såg din post om mentorering och jag skulle vilja ha väldigt mycket sådant. För att ge lite bakgrund så har jag två års kroki bakom mig och vill ta steget till att lära mig koncepta utan direkta referenser.

    Är du på?
    Bor du nära Uppsala eller Stockholm kan jag bjuda på en dryck av ditt val som tack vid väl valda tillfällen

    hi, i just have a quick question; how long does it take on average does it take to complete a finished piece for a portfolio? I've done art as a hobby and am thinking of doing digital art seriously, but I'm not sure if I'm taking too much sweet time..

    Hey guys! Thanks for all the replies and interest in my help! I'll try to get it all up and running the coming week, I just finished all my school work and I'll try to get back to everyone of you and set things up!

    Tonight, a few hours from now I'll be streaming @ http://www.ustream.tv/channel/zgsdilevod

    approx 12 am - 1 am GMT +2, so 1.5 - 2.5 hours from now!

    I'll try to go through basic perspective and how to set those up in Photoshop!
    You can use the chat to ask about specific things and I'll try to answer them as best as possible!

    If you can take another mentee I would be honored! Enviros are not my strong point so I could definitely use some help in that area. I will check back and see if you are streaming sometime when I'm not at work - hopefully I can catch you on the air sometime.
