Workshop links

Here's a link to an older workshop run through I did for Autodesk's wonderful Sketchbook Pro -

And one for a Painter workshop from ImagineFX magazine stored in their online site library -



'A New Breed of Gold-Digger' ArtRage
One from a few years ago when ArtRage 3 was just coming out from beta. This begins with a tour of what was the new interface and tools at the time, going onto painting the image later on. It's on Youtube and comprises 3 parts, with this being a link to the first part. The other two parts are normally close at hand if you want to follow it through.



And in a pdf of ArtRageUS magazine I have a written tutorial for ArtRage 3.5 - Painting a fairytale type queen This is a magazine put together predominantly by an ArtRage enthusiast called Bobby Ray Howle. He's been keeping the thing going almost single handedly for a couple of years appealing to members of the Ambient forums for contributions , which is no small achievement. I applaud his efforts.



'Knight Owl'
Another vidcap, this time done to support a Q&A entry in ImagineFX magazine. Not my best or most complex image but it goes over my usual processes and thoughts.

Watchers



April issue of ImagineFx magazine saw another me lucky enough to have another two entires in the Q&A section on show.  I had time to cobble a vidcap together for each of these - and I use the word cobble advisedly.  I'm not your slick movie maker and you need to be prepared for a god deal of extraneous waffle, which reflects the way I tend to work anyhow.  May issue is already out on the shelves and one of the vidcaps has been released (or maybe it just escaped . . . ?) onto the the IFX Youtube channel.  It relates to the image shown here and is using ArtRage 3.55, in case any of you are interested or have a thing for waffle.

I've been knocking about the children's book publishing market as a full-time freelance illustrator since 1982, when I tunneled out of college. Switched from being a traditional watercolourist to digital about the turn of the century. Still learning and always will be.

Preferred software are ArtRage3 Studio Pro, Sketchbook Pro 2010 and Painter X. I still think in real media terms, and these are the closest to it I've found. The words old and fuddy-duddy definitely apply - dammit.

Some of my published work is listed here on Jacketflap -

Wow! One of my biggest art inspirations here on dA!
Your works have kept me up late at night as a child, with a torch under my blanket I use to spend hours looking at your fantasy pieces and hoping I could draw like you one day <:
Thank you for being such an inspiration! Keep up the amazing job, I look forward to seeing more from you 8D

Many thanks for such a nice comment GemFeathers. A bit worrying to know I my contribution to a publishing project may have kept you awake at night - here's hoping that lost sleep did you no harm.

We all draw in different ways and that's what makes it so great. Variety everywhere you look and loads to love. Just keep at it and enjoy yourself - that's the key.

Best,
Nick
