Description
Well... this took me like the whole day... I came from school, got the idea for a tutorial and worked till 9pm! I hope you like it and can learn something ^^If you draw something based on this tutorial, feel free to post the link here, I want to see what you have done!!!
I also decided to make a little, well, lets call it... "lottery"
On the 7th of May I will chose one of the people who added this to their faves and he gets a free virtual request- "coupon". So he tells me his idea for a dragon (like hat one in the tutorial) and I will draw it for free. Maybe I will also pick two people, lets see! Comments and favs are, as always, highly appreciated! Please tell me what you think!

Maybe there are more tutorials to follow!

Wow this is a great tutorial! I just have this one (ok, more than one xD) question.
Underneath 'How to Smooth Colors', well it looks fantastic 
Anyway I hope you have time to answer my questions!

About the smoothing of the colors. I think he means this: [link]

This is amazing! I will definitely be using those color tips in the future. One question though, I've always wondered about how you get the brush to that glide setting? I tried to read the settings on the tutorial but they were too small.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To get the brush do the following:
Choose the "round hard opacity brush" from your basic brushes than do the following. Select "Shape dynamics", "transfer", "airbrush" and "smoothing".
In the "shape dynamics" menu make sure everything is at 0% and that the size jitter is set to pen pressure.
For "transfer" menu make sure that opacity jitter is set to pen pressure and everything is set at 0%.
And there you go. You have his brush.
Hope this helps.

Do you use the round hard airbrush for everything?Even for the coloring and shading?
Because I couldn't find any brush that could give that smooth look ^^
BTW,very helpful tutorial X3

its possible to blend very good with his brush presests. you have to blend with picking a new colour while drawing (alt + press on the next colour). its hard to explain; i could recommend you looking at this turorial [link] , there are some well-explained shading/blending hints.

Wow, this helped me a lot. Mostly the layers. Those darn things are the most confusing part about digital art for me.

I think that is the best tutorial I have ever seen!... and I've seen a lot of tutorials!

haha, woow! thank you!!

It was very thorough and user friendly. You included all the materials, a demonstration, and assumed basic skill level... all of those things make a great tutorial in my eyes. So many tutorials out there lack in quality of one or all of those, or lack entire aspects all together. Thank you for taking the time to explain this for everyone.
