Reply To: The problem with painting tutorials

What tutorials are you exactly talking about? You keep referencing back to Base, highlight and shade. Which yes, most tutorials do that. However, we’ve covered light in most of our tutorials where Romain will explain why the light is pointing a direction etc.

We even have one that’s purely focused on lighting. Found here:

3 Colours Up: Painting A Monochrome Samurai

It seems like you’re talking about the content creators for painting as a whole, and we do fit into that category too. Romain did make a few tutorials which were switching colours around, which personally I think there were better things to do but that’s not to say they’re less important.

In this one, Dallas also talks about where the highlight goes in relation to skintone.

Is this a general complaint for the world and is this something we can improve on? This year I’m planning to get much shorter and precise painting guides out that detail very specific areas and techniques. Such as lighting and textures.
