Video Tutorials IV – Bobby Chiu
Here’s another article of the video tutorials series! This time, I choose some video tutorials from the amazingly great illustrator Bobby Chiu. He’s a really expert artist, with a lot of talent, his drawings are really particular, with a great study on volumes. I truly suggest you to look at his gallery, he’s an incredible inspiration source.
Bobby Chiu illustration experience grows every day, because he constantly draw, paint and sketch. He should be an example for every beginner (and advanced) artist. He also shares his knowledge with others, so everyone has the chance to learn something from him: he has a blog, a youtube podcast, galleries in the most important art communities. He’s also part of the Imaginism Studio and is a illustration teacher at Schoolism, with an online video courses about Digital Painting.
In the video tutorials I’ve choosen from Bobby’s youtube podcast, he explains the techinques he uses for painting his fantastic creatures.Videos are long, from 20 to 40 minues, and have been a bit speeded up to match Bobby’s vocal explanation.

Video Tutorials III – Andantonius
So, another article for the Video Tutorials Series (as you may have seen, I changed the Portrait Video Tutorials series to simple Video Tutorials, to collect more tutorials in the same category).
This time, I featured a simple but really interesting video about Basic Blending in digital painting.

Also, I got the problem of selecting the colours for lights and shadow, to enrich the palette, avoiding plain lights/shadows.

Video Tutorials II – Hoang Minh Le
The second article of this video tutorials series is dedicated to an amazing painting video created by Hoang Minh Le (Aurory). He’s a really amazing illustrator and photographer; his main characters are beautiful girls, portrayed with absolute great reality. We can see that, at first sight, you can confuse his digital painting with his photos.
At his DeviantArt Account he published different tutorials and walkthroughs of his working process, till the day he recorded this amazing two-parts video tutorial, where you can see the whole, complete, painting process of an eye.
This time, I’m so sorry for this, you cannot see the two tutorials directly on this bog, because they haven’t been uploaded on Youtube. But you can download them, so that you can watch them from your hard-drive!
I truly think this is a really useful tutorial, for beginner and advanced, because it achieve a great photorealistic look for the illustration. The techniques learnt can also be applied to the rest of the skin.
