Busy days, and tutorials

It’s quiet from this front due to exams and a lot of work.

I won’t be very active with daily sketches nor other posts on this blog the next few weeks. School is getting near the end and there’s a lot of exams coming up very soon, studying my brains off. So, naturally, at the end of the day I don’t have much left besides sleeping and relaxing. But I’ll be back, I’ve squeezed in some time for studying anatomy and figure-drawing now and then, sketches will come up when I have the time to post them.

Anyhow, I have a few links and tutorial-pages I’d like to share. Mostly aimed towards digital painting/concept artists. I’ve also found some awesome, and free, e-books about drawing. Here are the links, I’ll add them to the tutorial page later on.

Conceptart.org – Over 100 free e-books - I would recommend Bridgman and Loomis, very instructional and educational.

IDrawGirls.com – Over 200 free videos, mostly explaining this concept artist’ style. He sells educational videos as well, good stuff.

GFXArtist.com – Collection of different type of tutorials aimed at digital painting.

ItchStudios.com – Mostly a tutorial created by a conceptart.org user who were tired of giving the same feedback over and over. Small, but good, tutorial that covers shadow and light, as well as how different materials reflect differently.

So, there you have some links, enjoy. I’ve also ordered the new Intuos line from Wacom, namely Wacom Intuos 4 Medium. I will make a review and compare it with my Wacom Bamboo (Perhaps I’ll gather reviews on Intuos 3 and compare that as well) once I receive the tablet.
