Rendering Tutorial Video

[TonyG]

I found this on Youtube and thought it was interesting. I would like to see something similar with actual verbal instructions. I know this vid is sped up. I mainly would like to see the first steps in getting the basic outline. I am guessing it was hand rendered and scanned in as a background layer.

Enjoy.

thats pretty cool but its a lot harder than it looks

that guy was probably using one of those tablets you can draw on

quite the crappy choice in music by him though :p hahah

oh i agree. I know it is a lot harder. I am no newbie to photoshop; I just know that if I had a good tutorial to watch a couple of times I could do it.

I used to do design and typesetting for a few yrs. I graduated from Al Collins Graphic Design school back in 99 but haven't messed with this stuff seriously for about 5 yrs. I still have the software and am looking to do renderings for myself, friends, and the shop I work for part-time.

if you're interested in doing this kind of thing and you've got some spare cash, pick up a wacom intuos pad (or a cintiq display if you've got a bunch more to spare)

they make drawing on 10000x easier and much more "fun" than a mouse haha

well, i am on a laptop and this mouse sure makes it a pain..lol. I have been thinking of getting a desktop later on just for this kind of work sometime in the future.
