Heyo! I come bearing a new step by step as requested~ =)
It’s a step by step process for creating this picture:
I’m sorry the picture nor the results are very elaborate; I’m experience bad cramps in my drawing hand at the moment so wasn’t up to drawing a whole new coloured image. Sorry! :(
I suppose this is better for if you’re just wanting to add some colour to a sketch.
Tools: Paint Tool SAI
Time taken: About an hour overall

Right click + New Tab to see the images in their original size. There are 10 images, sorry I had to chop them up because Tumblr has a image size limit and starts resizing.

This is the effect I’ve wanted to do always. The layers, the blending, the textures, the edge look. Nomnom.
Ahhhhhhhhhh I love this.

I took one of his classes back when I went to art school and he’s an incredible professor and instructor. I’d advise people to look through his studies and even buy his book. It’s not necisarilly how to draw correct anatomy but to know it while making it stylized. His class basically teaches the mechanics of the body while using imagination.
Seriously, I recommend anyone to attending one of his online workshops. It’s kind of pricey but much more affordable than what I paid. Then again I had my own benefits.

I’m taking his advanced lighting class next term at Schoolism and really excited for it. After that I’m taking more CGMW Environment classes. All of classes. Hopefully whenever Future Poly opens up I want to take some classes with Tom Scholes and a few of the guys who run classes there as well.
In at least Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign CS5 (maybe other programs/versions too), if you go to Window > Extensions > Kuler, you get a palette with preset color palettes that compliment each other, as well as a tool to help you make new ones. Then you can save it to the Kuler list, or to your Swatches palette
I take no credit for any of this, all I did was assemble them togetha’.
Hellooo friends, I was just handed a couple of useful links from a talented friend, and seeing some posts on Facebook and around the internets inspired me to share them all with you in this handy place.
