As you all know, I haven't gotten around to making that painting tutorial I promise yet. Now you may all say "Boy, that Kalel sure is a slacker!", but I just feel that if I am gonna do a tutorial, it's gotta be detailed and filled with tons of images and that takes alot of time I currently dont have. I want it to literally hold your hand through the whole process.

In the mean time, let's take a look at 6 tutorials that have influenced my work.  I feel these will help a lot of people out and are good practice even if you already have your own style of painting.

Craig Mullins Gunman by Craig Mullins

Here's one from the master himself and of my favorite artists. If you do digital art, get to know his work if you already don't! Here's his site.

Skin Tones Part 1 by Ron Lemen.

This is a very important one to me. I learned alot from it.

Omar Dogan Coloring Tutorial by Omar Dogan

One of Udon Studio's best shows us how he gets it done. Very inspiring! Here's his Deviant Art gallery

Speed Painting a Dragon by  Chris Scalf

The key to learning from a speed painting is to watch as the artist changes the tools and brushes. It goes by so quickly that you may miss out on what tool is being used. Watch as Chris here uses a wide range of photoshop tools.  Check out  many more speed paintings in his site.

Painting Clouds by Steven Stahlberg

Awesome cloud painting tutorial!

Jelousy Step-by-Step by Steven Stahlberg

Steven Stahlberg is amazing with the female form. It's great to see a step by step of his work.
