Since I've been reading this site (the sijun.com art school), I learned a lot of little interesting things about painting (from spooge, fred, micke, dhabih, joachim, and about everybody else). So I tried the new technique, with more emphasis on the lighting of the scene, and 'blocking' out the different values (thanks to fred for his tutorial with the old indian guy ). Here is my first painting with this technique. Feel free to critic it if you want. I used an old b&w drawing I had, put it on top of a 'texture picture' (ala spooge) and painted on top of it. Took me about 4 hours I guess, but I'm quite slow.
The only thing I have to add is that I really like this technique and I have only one regret: that I never learned that in art school. Duh!

How can you show the image in the thread? I tried all the [img] all over the place and it's still not working. Who invented these stupid lines of code? A programmer? :P

[Rinaldo]

I'll have a go



[edit]
black_fish-

Nah needs to be an image, as in http://jmringuet.webjump.com/blah blah.jpg html won't work apparantly

Nice pic though

The technique is quite scratchy. Personaly I like a bit more flat/smooth colour in there but anyway.
I had a few more things to say but I can't see the pic on your page anymore. I often have problems viewing your site. Always want to go have a look but I get "page not found" a lot of the time.

Just link to the actuial jpg not through html

Always been a sucker for a challenge...

Try this:

{img}http://freehosting2.at.webjump.com/2858ef444/jm/jmringuet-webjump/ines_small.jpg{/img}



(black_fish's image ^^^^^^^^^)

just replace the braces in the line above the pic with square brackets, and that's you. As Rinaldo says, the [img] tages have got to point to an image.

Hope this helps...

The image didn't appear in the other threads for me, so I went ahead and threw it up on my website (Morrowind fansite). Hope you don't mind blackfish. I really really like this picture.

Piccy looks great and I had a bit of a look around your site - very nice. One quick question though, you mentioned a tut by fred about an indian guy, is that online somewhere

Thanks Morrowind

I think the problem is not in the linking but in the website. Mine doesn't link well to the forum obviously.

Looks like Governor Marley in the Monkey Island series. But less toony and more sassy! Damn, I need grogg now to calm down.

Matt...You can find the Indian tut at: http://www.sijun.com/dhabih/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002245.html

By performing a little Search on the forum with the words indian you can find some image that other user have posted.

Actually I don't know if the tutorial was called 'old indian' but that the only way I could describe it . But thanks to rene you have the link now.
It's a very interesting tutorial, especially about the way you put all the values on your painting at once, instead of layering (starting with a base color then adding a lightshadow on top, then adding a darker shadow on top of the last one, and so on). It's a very good technique to control the light in the picture and at the same time to keep sharp light and shadows rather than going for the muddy middletones, something that I do often
Also, this technique is a lot faster than the usual layering. You should give it a shot.
