Artist Tutorials

Thankfully on the internet there are plenty of artists that have worked in the industry trying to help people like myself get better by showing some skills they have used and tips they have learnt from mistakes or just good tips.

Two main artists I look at are Feng Zhu, and Xia Taptara.

I have followed Xia Tapatara’s work a while now as I originally found his tutorials on youtube. While having good tutorials for free he also has good paid ones with more detail in, the biggest thing perhaps is that he has set up an “Artists arena” where you are given a brief (such as real life powerpuff) and you compete with amateur artists such as yourself, you also get great feedback from people and while probably critical it all helps.

Feng Zhu was shown to me by Jake Neal on my course, Feng zhu’s tutorials are great if not better than Xia Taptara’s as he works with more things such as sillouettes and angles, topics more devoted to the lore and learning of painting/drawing. I found his tutorials I have watched very useful.

Both artists are great for inspiration and I am always keeping an eye for artists like these that show different painting styles, and perhaps give away some few tried and tested techniques!
