Anyway here are a few things I've worked on lately. The first is a sketch of some dudes hunting a creature that lives in river ravines running through jungles. The dudes are kind of hard to spot and were just an afterthought to the creature, which I rather like the look of, but then I got to thinking of how they might hunt a creature like this and decided to draw one in more detail, then give him some color.
I checked out a few photoshop painting tutorials and picked up a few things after finishing that drawing. Increasing the dpi is a big one, so it doesn't look so blocky. I thought I'd try some of the techniques and things on another sketch I did. It didn't work so well as the tutorial I was looking at used a scanner to import the source material, whereas I take a picture which tends to create uneven lighting and... well to make a long story short I didn't finish it, but here's how far I got.
