Lynda.com has some really great tutorials… I recommend them highly.

[spracknetch23]

+1.

Also, ctrlpaint.com is a great resource for digital painting. Lots of free learning videos.

Awesome pieces. I was bummed that school started this week, so I wasn't able to participate in this one - but I'll be in on the next one. Thanks for putting this together Speedy!

[Treco]

I wanted to enter, but after seeing the first couple of finished works....I used my better judgment.

[Speedy-D]

I thought G would be showing a lot stronger. That is a very cool take!

[Davenport]

Choosing is near impossible.

 

I was really interested to see how each artist would "solve the problem" of those indistinct upper left/right edges.

 

The cameo of 'B' is genius.

And that foliage-tunnel-to-open-sky effect that 'I' created is friken' brilliant.

 

They're all gorgeous.

Exactly. I liked certain aspects of all of them, but I did have a clear favorite.

Which one's that?

[Ken Aldred]

My favourite is I. Really quite vibrant, well-chosen range of colours.

+∞ for Ctrl+Paint.

 

That guy's speaking voice and lessons-pacing are maybe the best out there, imho.

Basically a free college education's worth of premium quality art videos. Impossible to overstate how good that site is.

B was my overall favorite.

[Ken Aldred]

B was my second choice. The cameo does suit an early 20th century character very well.

[Speedy-D]

My favourite is I. Really quite vibrant, well-chosen range of colours.

Yeah, that one is pretty eye-catching.
