Flow is a good thing to think about when creating appealing shapes for #gameart
Heres a pattern i use all the time when sculpting. Really helps to get appealing shapes.

キャラデザするときにこういったおおまかなシルエット・ボリュームや形状の印象効果を主軸にしたものを描くと、設定などに引きずられずに持たせたい印象・役割をきちんとつけることができます。デフォルメが強くなればバルほどデザインのこういう描き方の意味が分かりやすい。 #art #lesson #illustration

I know it's past spooky season. But this example by CGCookie on material sphere painting is a great example of how to improve at rendering for #handpainted #gameart texture painting.

I wanted to do some little tip sheets on quick-sketching people from life. So here you go! First, an introduction to my outline-centric approach -- I'll get into technique points later. (1/3)

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this idea on LIGHTING/CASTING SHADOWS on TREES, by the talented @simodasketch! What I like here is the clear thinking around breaking the TONAL VALUE of the shadows into CLEAR GROUPS gives us such nicely defined FORMS. #anime #manga #drawing

Some good painting resources that could help if you are getting into #handpainted #gameart from CGCookie. This one goes over a painting process example for painting fur.
