Description
Just a quick tutorial i made very recently as i been getting questions of how i render my armour!
Its just a mini one, so no text but rather just pictures
But feel free to leave questions! And i will do my best to answer them the best to my ability ^-^
Quick explainations
1: Do your lines
2. Color in
3. I usualy start with darker color of the metal
4. Add some highlight lines and some darker lines (dont be scared to look online of pictures)
5. Add smaller light and dark details.
6. When you happy with how it looks you can finally remove your lines
7. Add darker shadows and light that the armour cast on the other armour pieces.
8. If you want to use texture brush add it now, use the eyedropper to pick up sasme colors in the areas and dont be scared to add new highlights and shadows
9. If you wanna be real fancy add some scraches (dark lines with some white lines right beside it to create a 3D effect.
So sorry if the explainations are horrible, i literly wipped this up in like 10 minutes
Some youtube tutorials i highly recomment watching (NON OF THEM ARE MADE BY ME)
