This video tutorial shows a process by which the appearance of oil paint can be mimicked in photoshop. I discuss why oil paint looks the way it does and the tools that photoshop has to create these effects.

DAILY DEVIATION
Firstly, thanks so much to DeviantArt for the Daily Deviation awarded to Raw Inspira 2!

BRUSHES
Secondly, a few people have been asking for some of my custom brushes. I get asked this question a bunch, especially in relation to my Imitating Oils in Photoshop Tutorial.

There's some good news and bad news in that regard. The bad news is that I use many other people's brushes when I work, and I don't feel comfortable distributing them. However I can highly recommend Levi Peterffy's brush set, as well as Maciej Kuciara and Shaddy Safadi. The good news is that I have created several of my own traditional-feeling digital media brushes, and they're available on my website! For free! FREE! Follow the link and download them, they're open for other people's use. If you do anything cool with them, I'd love to see the work! Head on over to my site for the link.

I'll be attending Spectrum Live in Kansas City May 21-25 - if you're in the area, hit me up by email or on DeviantArt and let's meet up!

Also, that means I won't be submitting any new artwork next Monday.

Change of pace

2 min read

I'm connecting with my fans and friends on several social media sites to talk about the future. Yes, DeviantArt is a social media site, at least as far as this post is concerned.

Working on social media presence teaches you a lot. The ability to set aside time for different activities, and how to effectively divide your attention, becomes a much more important part of workflow. On facebook, 
I have posted a new image every weekday for the last three months, and the feedback received from each has been phenomenal in terms of connecting with fans, personal growth, and especially in understanding the market in which I make my living. I've also been managing to post a new piece on DeviantArt every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! However, the pace is fairly brutal, especially as I am doing plenty of commercial work at the same time.

Starting this month of May, I'll be dropping to a more friendly Sketch Mondays and Final Fridays update schedule.

Definitely make sure to follow me on Facebook - www.facebook.com/demonui to get more periodic updates on final artworks, links I find interesting, and other artists that you should know!

Recently I've also re-energized my Instagram account -instagram.com/demonui/ - Instagram is a great platform for behind the scenes, close-ups, and process shots. I'll be posting that sort of thing over there going forward.
