  • I’m still pretty new at this myself. Lots of good advice has been given to me here asking with YouTube.

    The biggest pieces of advice were paint all on one layer. Simplify the image and paint more and more detail in different phases. Should look like a blocky cartoon and slowly become this. And mostly lots and lots of practice and searching for other ways people do it.










  • I use Sketchbook by Autodesk on my phone mostly, every Sammy has been on my phone. I also have it on a tablet connected to a PC but I rarely drag all of that out to paint. If I could figure out a way to sync my work between them I’d probably use the PC more.

    The brushes I use are oil painting brushes. I start sketching with a pencil brush, then block out colors with a simple round brush, then I use oil brushes the rest of the way.

    Edit: I also add a small bit of randomness to the colors which I think is the best trick to keep it from looking flat and boring.
