ImagineFX Issue 136

I recently had the pleasure of painting ImagineFX magazine's latest cover image!

If you get the chance to pick up a copy of the magazine, there is a step-by-step tutorial showing how I've painted this image, including several Photoshop brushes and layered .psd files.

There is also a 3-hour-long video showing the entire painting process (sped up) with a bit of additional talking and explaining from yours truly. :)

As a sort of follow-up to my last post - here you can see how I use the same basic approach for studies from photo reference as well.

The finished study. I could have spent more time on it, but it felt pointless. I learned what I could from this one :)

And lastly, a little birthday gift for Melanie :)
