Savvy's Saturday Session #1

So kids, I'm starting a new video series of Saturday speed paintings. I'm going to be filming these paintings in as close to real time as possible and will try to talk about my process or whatever else is going on. Any who, hope you enjoy this rocky first go.

Savvy's Hot Keys

For those of you followers of the Allar's Awesome Blog, you are in for a treat with a Savvy created hot key tutorial. The hot keys I cover in this tutorial are ones that I use on a regular basis, but there are many more hot keys that you could find useful for yourself. Using hot keys might be a bit foreign for you at first, but I suggest writing down the short cuts you think you'd use the most and make yourself use them until it's second nature. Using these keys help cut down on time, and promotes focus on your illustration, concept, or texture.

How to Make Bad-Ass Sexy Leather Part 1

So folks, this video pertains to leather. Painting leather, especially different types of leather, can be difficult and confusing. To make it easier for you humans to master, I have a two-parter to help fellow artists learn ways to create a nice leather look. In this video I cover sexy shiny leather. Cat Woman's tight fitting, very snug leather suite might come to mind. The soon to come 2nd leather video will be a way to do a flat leather.

These styles of painting can also be crossed over into texturing characters, or even prop models, so give this video a go even if you'r not a 2D artist.

All of the ways of painting that I suggest in my tutorials are techniques that I go by,  but you might find a way that works better for you, and by all means go for it. It's about the final piece being AWESOME, not necessarily how you got there. As Tim Gunn says, "Make it work".
