I'd love to see a tutorial on digital painting along the lines of your Santa demo.

I'd like to see a solid tutorial on tackling sequential comic pages, most tutorials I've seen anywhere are all about how to color single images, like covers, pinups or paintings. Once you have those techniques down the next step is to do sequential art but really telling the story with color is hard.

An excellent suggestion! (And one I will make sure to pass along.) Thanks, R!

I would agree that I'd also like to see more in the vein of sequential pages as opposed to pinups.

There's also a thread in the Ask A Question forum titled "what tutorials are planned for the near future?"

Although it was started in 2007 (only 2 posts with this year), it has many more posts starting from February 2009 in it.
And Brian was the first of the 2009 batch of postings. Hope he is also watching that one closely.
You will find out that I do have ulterior motives when you go there. Smile

I'm still hoping to see a more advanced lettering tutorial. (

Takenaga-sensei, I'm looking in your direction...lol)

Yes, yes, my little grasshopper! I have NOT forgotten! (The Anomaly project Brian's working on had me doing some interesting experiments that I plan to stuff into the next version of that tutorial as well. Still recovering from the butt-whoopin' of the SDCC and helping to prep some stuff for the "SDCC @ DART" promo pricing packages to boot! Nobody around here has slept, and it's taking its toll!)

Takenaga-sensei...

Eesh, man. Merciless, I tell ya. Merciless! Smile

Grasshopper lol....

I'm not the kind of guy that spends his time hanging out in some hotel in Bangkok...

Although I am still quite proud that Kung Fu: The Legend Continues was in fact filmed right in my backyard of Toronto and co-starred a good Canadian lad from Southern Ontario, Chris Potter. An under-rated show that should be on DVD.

I remain the patient one...

lettering, seq. art and the creation of panels. perhaps, the how to's, do's and dont's of getting your art out there via submission and suggestions on other avenues of exposure.

In the meantime just picked up the Advanced Digital Inking tutorial and it is fricken awesome.

Brian you are a god!

Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I just want to say that I love your work here and hope to be able to benefit from these tutorials.

If I were to suggest a tutorial it would be a complete step by step rundown of how and which program to create characters, how to rig them, cloth them, set them up in an environment. Where to make the environment. And then how to edit in photoshop.

I think people will benefit to see how the complete workflow goes.

For me as an upcoming artist sometimes I don't know which program is best for what I want.

Also just another note. When you download the tutorials some don't tell you which order you should watch them. So that can get confusing for some people.
