This is a quick, and possibly not as detailed, walkthrough of the 'Dragon Valkyrie' painting. And yes, tattoo is spelled wrong ^^;

For anyone interested, or who hasn't seen it already, the completed art can be found here [link]

Enjoy :)

Great progress, thanks for posting. Some questions though:

Frames 1/2: When you get the solid colors in, is it all in one layer? different layers? in what layer mode? apparently the solids are colorizing the line work.
Frames 4/5: Here is where the line art dissapears, do you keep in in a separate layer and simply turn it off or do you paint over it?

Thanks in advance!

One of the best digital painting tutorials!
Did you do each color on its own separate layer?

I always have the hardest time getting rid of the sketch and letting the details come through. But it looks like you keep the sketch long enough to get the basic details in, and then you erase them and keep going. So maybe I'll have to try that. :3

This gives me a good idea on how to work in color. I've become so used to painting a greyscale under layer, and then doing color overlays on top.

Do you use any special brush settings when you're doing the detail shading?

Sorry for the 20questions, I just love this painting style, and I've always wanted to be able to do it. :3
