Tutorial?

[sigune]

pennswoods left me a comment at Artistic Alley in which she suggested that I write an art tutorial sometime. Now, I'm not sure I should be tutoring anyone about anything art-related, seeing as my methods aren't really based on any expert knowledge or skill; but if some of you think I could be of any help somehow, I could give the idea some thought. Hence, a poll! ;)

My answer for the second question wouldn't fit. :) I really have no clue and I'm not overly picky on what it's about. I just really enjoy looking at art tutorials in general. Hmm, maybe facial expressions? ...or eyebrows! ^_~

Let me also add your use of wash and such-not. I'm really a complete novice at everything and it takes me so long to figure stuff out that I really appreciate learning the tips and tricks of others.

Oooh, this is a good one. Washes and delicate colorings are always good tutorials.

I'd basically like to see anything you do, so I'd be happy with any of the topics suggested.

So far, everybody is suggesting different ones, naturally ;). I guess I'll have to see whether I find a good approach to 'tutoring' this kind of stuff in the first place...

I'll give it some thought :).

Mmm, yes, I feel the same. I'll see if I can think of a way to share some things, but it's really - I haven't got a system or anything; I just try things and am surprised when they work :D. And they don't always *g*.

Am I mistaken here, or have you bought some "how to" art books recently? What is your experience with them?

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yes I did indeed. I bought a book of faces for reference since I find it a totally bitch and a half to find some of what I want on the Internet. I also bought a book on drawing light and shade because I really want to find a way to add more depth to my pictures. I'm kind of lazy and inconsistant with this, however, I think the light and shade influenced my most recent canon drawing, particularly with respect to how I colored or shadowed Snape's face.

I will have to think about pedagogical issues here... I mean - I never analyse how I go about drawing facial expressions XD!

Hm. Could be an interesting experience all round... :)
