Throughout these lessons we will look at the steps required to paint a skull from scratch and how it will become one with a stone background. We will start by creating simple brushes that will help us when painting all the details, dynamic lightning, and reflections in our scene. Along the way, we will add various objects, such as flowers and a spooky eye and will add special effects to complete our unique underground concept. By the end of this tutorial you will have a solid understanding of how to use your digital painting skills and how to make good use of different textures for creating unique artwork.
