basic brush tutorial by sandara

i use a lot of custom brushes in my paintings so I can get things done quickly, but it’s also important to know that you don't need fancy brushes to do really beautiful paintings !

My 2 sold out tutorials BOOKS are coming BACK to KICKSTARTER in the HIGHER TIERS of my brohthter Robin’s How to WRITE campaign THIS OCTOBER 2019! BUT! The ONLY WAYto get the books is to join the SECRET LAUNCH CLUB MAILING LIST by sending “Add me, Lorenzo!” to [email protected]. We WON’T be announcing the launch date ANYWHERE online ahead of the campaign going live! My drawing tutorials books will NOT be on sale ANYWHERE in shops OR online outside of Kickstarter for at least the next TWO YEARS, so this is a VERY RARE CHANCE to get them! Lorenzo!

Here’s a really basic tutorial for how I go about making simple/quick water reflections!

i’ve had so many ask me for tutorials on these kinds of things. I hope this helps!!

thank you so much, i’ve been adding flowers to my art a lot more this year so i’m glad they’ve been looking nicer! i still sorta wing it sometimes, but here are a few techniques that i find helpful! (also i’m not sure exactly which type of flowers the ask was referring to, but here’s my tut for a generic rose)

(1) blob.

(2) decide which direction your flower is facing so you can maintain the same perspective, and this will help you figure out how to roughly place in the petals too.

3) for most of my flowers i usually start from the outside in. i use a square watercolour brush to block in the shape of the overall flower with a slightly lighter colour than the base blob. 

(4 - 6) i keep blocking in more petals circling towards the centre in a spiral fashion, making the colour even lighter and petals smaller the closer towards the centre i get. once the rough painting is done, i’ll go and adjust the colours/values as i see fit (in this case i used levels to increase the contrast a little, and then hue & saturation to add a slight yellow tint).

(7 - 9) this is the detailing/fixing up stage. i’m basically refining the shapes of the petals and adding in a few more to the empty spots (totally optional, depending on how full you want your flower). you can totally leave it as shown in 8, but for more intensity i sometimes duplicate the flower layer then set the top layer to overlay. making your lights lighter and darks darker will generally add a bit more dimension to your rose!

A tip for blending when painting digitally: use a transition color! I quickly made this when my brother asked for art advice while I was working on a painting for my best friend. (I was watching a lot of makeup videos to pick out her gifts).

this is just a rough paint and it looks pretty cartoony, you can make the water far more realistic by making the edges neater (and by using reference, of course)
