mini tutorial: Digital Painting

Watch the video here: mini tutorial: Digital Painting

Most people don't believe me when I say how easy digital painting is. Its alot like using a real canvas, except everything can be undone at any moment, and you have more tools at your disposal. This beginners guide is great for those who have never attempted to draw on the computer. I began learning doing this same exact painting I re-create in the video, and yes, I too started in that simple paint program. If you want to make a truly spectacular painting, take your time and come back to it frequently to add more and more detail. Good luck and happy painting! Have fun and get creative!

Like everyone else, its been a busy holiday season for me, and this will be my last video for this year. I will be back in 2012 better than ever! Hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday, with a happy new year!

mini tutorial: Changing Hair Color (ft. Elle & Blair)

In this tutorial you'll learn how to change your hair color before going to the salon and making a mistake (oops!). You can also do it just for fun! Isn't it amazing what Photoshop can do!? I get requests to do tutorials more than anything, and I'm still practicing the art of tutorial making, trying to make an entertaining yet educating video. I hope this helps some of you experiment with your look! Congrats to Elle & Blair (Allthatglitters21 & Juicystar07) for truly turning Youtube beauty videos into a business. They made beautiful models for this tutorial! Hope you all like it and keep requesting what you want to see!

JennaMarbles: Youtube's SWEETHEART! (digital painting)

JennaMarbles is like no one else on Youtube with her blunt honesty and comedic rants on life. Even with her fowl language, she wins the title of Youtube's sweetheart! Shes most well known for her video showing the secrets on how to put on a "hot girl disguise". My original idea was to do my own parody of that by giving her a photoshop "ugly girl disguise", but I really try to avoid making anyone (especially a woman) look worse in the after than the before! Inspired by a short clip from one of her videos where she is playing with dangling keys, playing up the "dumb blonde" stereotype, I just had to make a digital painting! Including her adorable dogs was just extra fun, as I have been painting dogs long before I attempted humans. Overall it came out really well, and I feel the silly theme matches well with her personality. I hope Jenna likes it and I hope you all do too!

JennaMarbles :"Haha this is f#$%ing awesome!!! Thank you so much for making this"
