Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

What do I do with my Friday evenings.

Okay this is what happens with the box from my previous tips sheet thing: [link] Ooooh, look at thaaat!
This is more advanced. You're supposed to know how people are made already. (No, not that)
RENDERING. That's all. It's kinda boring.

Rendered some faces from this meme: [link]

i never fully understood what rendering meant, and it always confused me on how to do it. this tutorial really helped me out!! thanks for this piece C:

~Smirtouille Sep 5, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Yeah, rendering is basically to make things look 3D in the context of painting. Glad my tutorial could help you out!

~Dirge-of-Fate Sep 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

i'd see examples of rendering, but the person who did it wouldn't really explain or they did it so complexly!
thanks for the llama, by the way!

Very helpful thanks for sharing!

ohhh, NICE!, may I ask, why do you insist on not using black or white?

~Smirtouille Sep 5, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Thank you!
Less black/white values makes your image richer and more realistic, as pure black and pure white are rarely seen for real. If you look at a face it's very rare that you will find actual pure black in it except for the pupil, and it's not even necessary to always show the pupil to paint a convincing-looking face. : )

*PemaMendez Sep 5, 2012 Student Digital Artist

I see, very true, but what about the paintings that have that creepy atmosphere with high saturation (example [link])? is it okay to use black there or I should still just pick a really really dark tone of the color?

~Smirtouille Sep 5, 2012 Student Digital Artist

There is nothing that you "should" do or not do. Standards depend on whatever you wish to achieve. Avoiding black helps toward naturalistic/realistic effect but the effect is not an end in itself.
