A slight change of focus due to these turbulent times, ReClip is no longer about the news but more about things that I find interesting. Hope you still enjoy the show ;)

Digital Painting Tutorial - Zhang Ziyi

Awesome tutorial by a member of the community.

Amplify’d from lightwyrm.com

A great tutorial of Zhang Ziyi by 9095 on Deviant Art. Big thanks to her for sharing it with us.

Here you will get a good idea of how to paint a female figure from reference in Photoshop. This tutorial can be applied to most other programs that support pen pressure.

The author does a very good job of describing how they create this image, and you will get a good idea on how to use blending effectively to create believable form. If you like this tutorial do the artist a favour and favourite it here: Original DA Submission.

9095 is a part of our community, so join in if you want to ask her any questions and get some more advice!

Concept art for a warrior character.

Even more great work from Chen! He is relentless :)

Amplify’d from lightwyrm.com

Another one of Chen’s characters. Here he designs pseudo concept art for a bulkier individual. As usual this is for you to see the way he works and what steps he takes to complete a piece. This is not meant to be an illustration tutorial, rather a concept art tutorial because the character is rough and conveys only the important aspects instead of a fancy rendering. This is a good process to work through when you have to get a set of characters completed by a deadline. As it allows you to develop a routine when working with them.

Digital Illustration of a Beast from an Arid world.

More hard work from Chen :)

Amplify’d from lightwyrm.com

Here are some process steps for another one of Chen’s paintings. Here you can see what steps he has taken to creating a unique creature. How can you use this tutorial? I would recommend looking over the steps he took and using them as a process for your next image. Also take a look at the final result and try to think of a variation of this creature maybe the next step in its mutation or evolution. Paint that in a simmilar style and setting.

This image was done completley in Corel Painter, but this process is application independent.

Character design – From sketch to Digital Greyscale

Big thanks to Ciro for making this :)

Amplify’d from lightwyrm.com

First of all I’d like to explain how you can use this tutorial. Either you’re going to read through this, if you’re like me probably crash through it, and garnish what you want from it. That’s cool and I hope you get something from it. The other approach to this tutorial could be that you treat it as an assignment. So for those who would like to take up the assignment challenge I’ll give you an assignment brief in this tutorial and you can follow the tutorial through the different stages and at the end of the tutorial post your work on the Lightwyrm community board for constructive crit from the good people who run the site, myself and of course other people that want to contribute to the process.

Humanoid Portrait Concept Art Tutorial

Ah seems like I am back! :D Going to focus more on art related clips from now on.

Amplify’d from lightwyrm.com

The first tutorial of the ‘new Lightwyrm’. Thank you for being patient while we tinkered with the site. A lot has changed but we think it is for the better. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to post them on the forum, or send BorisKourt a private message. Anyway on to the tutorial!

Here David Tran gives you a quick step-by-step of how to rapidly design a humanoid head concept. He uses basic Photoshop techniques and doesn’t waste a single stroke. When making quick rough sketches like this keep in mind, that you should not get bogged down on building a shape from the ground up with thousands of ’sculpting’ strokes. But rather think ahead and try to make each stroke count. If you have questions about this tutorial, ask them on our forum or in the comments below.
