Hello, how do you get so much detail in a picture?
Heres something I did along time ago and decided to work on it again.
What size canvas do you work with? How do you make your lines so smooth? What brush size do you use? Why are you so talented? Questions that always taunt me.....
I can use any help u can give me I rather learn now than later!

detail is easy. just give the people eyes and ears and noses and fingers. zoom in and imagine the paiting's bin cropped. Enlarge the canvas if necessary.
I'm not "one of those talented people" , but if you look at the talented people, especially their sketchyer stuff you should learn one thing atleast: don't over estimate the importrace of detail. IMHO, detail adds very little, as someone said: "god lives in the gestures". maybe one or two areas of detail, but I'm not a big fan of detail. If the general thing isn't cool, details won't make it cool. |

im not some kind of guru, but i've come to realize that using a much bigger canvas than you plan your final picture to be helps the detail. |
