Hey guys,

This website looks like a well produced site and the commuinity seems very generous. I've been on photoshop for a while now, and I can also draw a fairly good sketch on paper but I would really like to know the basics of photoshop to make a concept art painting.

Thanks

Paine

AnyOne willing to help me please?

Anyone willing to read the rules please?
You must've noticed that there's only art in the critique centre, cmon.
There's a buncha tutorials all over the internet, but i'd suggest you get a tablet and just practice, practice, practice first...
peace

sorry for being unpatient, I didn't mean any harm but I've got 3 weeks to learn the basics of concept art. I want to use some things for my exam

Well, best is to get the basics down.. There are some topics on CA.. pretty much spread out, but they are mostly stickies.. Check them out, and uhm , i suggest paper and pencil instead of tablet =) depends on your current skill though.

I dont know your experience level yet, but here is what i would have to say.

Read this, and you will know what to do.

and dont forget the wiki link on top of this site. Dont be impacient, thats probably a bad thing to have for an artist.

Idiot Apathy recently posted links to some threads in the C&C section. Just browse a little through the section's thread, you'll find some great links on there.
