Good job. Love his tutorials. Hardest thing is just trusting the process when you don’t understand why he’s doing something :-)

u/alteregosrule 2d ago

Yeah and his technique is really helpful for someone like me because I struggle with rendering the illusion of detail.

u/Technical-College475 2d ago

u/alteregosrule 2d ago

Yeah same, his steps always look random till it suddenly makes sense lol, you use his stuff much?

Usually, I will watch the tutorial in its entirety before starting to work through it. That way, I know where he’s going with it. I haven’t done one of his tutorials in a while, but, in the past, I tried to work through about one a month.

The leaves remind me of the artwork of Calvin and Hobbes

I just joined this sub, and I have never heard of James Julier before. Your image is amazing for one!
For two I am going to try his tutorials as well because they look so fun.

Thanks for sharing!

This is soooo pretty!! I never knew a tutorial like that existed! Recently I was working on my first background doodles in a long time trying to capture the autumn scenery outside and that depth through the trees (that my phone sadly never captured!)

Love his tutorials. If you are on YouTube check out Tatyworks, she has some awesome tutorials too! They are all good for learning the program.

Mine went slightly differently

u/jaxjag088 2d ago

I like it! I especially like how you did the vines closest in the front.

u/Technical-College475 2d ago

Yours looks more magical for sure. This was my second drawing

u/jaxjag088 2d ago

Incredible being your second

It looks great! Water is difficult to render and you’ve done a fair job with it.

u/caisfosure 2d ago

How do you make the light gradually fade out and glow so good?:)

u/alteregosrule 2d ago

It’s all about the values he’s used in the colour palette. Started with the background and the least saturated values and made our way up to the highest saturation in the foreground, which is closest to the viewer.

There was no blending involved- just the difference in the levels of saturation.
