Mandi's Speed Painting Tutorial

I decided to document my speed painting procedure as a few have asked and I'd like to contribute to the vast amount of resources available on DA that have taught me so much.

In this tutorial I cover the steps from a blank canvas to a completed painting. I also list some general 'technique' advice you'd usually find in an instructional setting.

In short, I hope you find it useful! Enjoy!!

Thank you ~MigrantJ and =One-Vox for all you have taught me through your own works and advice. Without the help I've received from both of you, I would know a lot less about painting and Photoshop.

This is a great reference, thanks for putting in the work to make it. And I'm honored to be mentioned as someone who's helped you. You've taught me so much as well! Now I want to make one of these. Hmm...

In your final notes I think you've touched on something very important. It's critical to make bold strokes when painting because you will not only waste time but you will often reinforce early mistakes. Having the courage of make broad strokes over old mistakes can make the difference between a painting that works and one that doesn't.

Letting go of how you think things should look and drawing them as weird as they actually are is a skill that takes a lot of practice to get right. This is why everyone has trouble with noses, they're just fucked up looking when you start actually paying attention to them.
