Digital Painting Tutorial Rogue Samurai Work in progress.

Learn to Draw sketch and digital paint over a Comics style woman, female samurai or swordsman, girl female character design, sketch, illustration for manga, comics, anime free web step by step and video tutorial.

This new step by step tutorial is a work over the old drawing of mine. It was a drawing tutorial I made a year ago I think. Now I am slowly picking some of the old sketch, drawing or concept that are worthy of going all the way to possibly finish stage using variety of method or style.
It's a good exercise for once in a while you should pick some of your older work and upgrade it or redo it totally (if the idea was great but bad execution). But this rogue samurai sketch is alright to begin with so I am just going to paint over the sketch and take it to the finish line, hopefully.

So basically I am focusing on repaint her face and tighten or clean up the rest of the environmental background.
Also, there is no painting video, just step by step. :) I need to step up a few knots and get better as a painter, most of the time recording can be very distracting. I want to be able to think, analyze, and observe the work without putting in any brush stroke during the course. Which often take as much time as actual painting itself. So... :) Thinking and planing is hard.

You can also watch these tutorials for learning how to render face (for basic structure from start to finish) Character Design Face Male Merchant Character, Character design sketch villain or Drawing Male Face Swordman and Learn how to draw and paint face. They might be what you are looking for.

Learn How to draw Fantastic 4 Susan Storm comics girl video and step by step tutorial. Learn how to draw comics female characters #001

It's been a while since I did a sketch tutorial video on woman drawing. Since I've been doing many comics superheroes sketches so I thought I should do the girl's version of video also. My first pick is Susan Storm from Fantastic 4 comics. It was the first American superheroes team comics I read when I was a kid (well, other than Batman, Superman and the Hulk). Anyway enjoy the tutorial.

A bit about character. Susan Storm is the first female superhero created by Marvel in the Silver Age of Comics. She's also known as Invisible Girl and later, Invisible Woman. Susan is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superheroine created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #1 in November 1961, and like the other founding members of the Fantastic Four, Sue received her powers after being exposed to a cosmic storm. Her primary power deals with light waves, allowing her to render herself and others invisible. However, she can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic energy which she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects.

*She's also an object of infatuation for Doctor Doom, and, most notably, Namor the Sub-Mariner.

If you are a beginner and just stumble upon this blog, go watch these basic video tutorials: How to draw lesson girl face, How to draw person head basic and Draw and render human head with different light sources. (These two are a little more basic)
As for basic figure or body tutorial, you should go watch the following, How to draw female body torso step by step (Easy lesson on how to sketch and draw a body in the very easy basic way that works.), and how to draw woman figure hip pelvis (Similar the the previous, this is a basic way to draw pelvis, butts, and legs that will lead to advance form).

How To draw x-men, Jean Grey, Phoenix Manga comics style step by step and video tutorial.
I just saw Marvel production trailer of X-men spin off, "Wolverine." It looks really promising, I really hope it will be as good as the trailer because I like the first two x-men movies, but not the third one.

How to draw Woman Comics #005 Marvelgirl, Jean Grey, x-men phoenix Part 1 of 2. Draw and Sketch comics character, woman girl female Marvel girl, x-men Jean Grey illustration sketch. Learn from Step by step and video tutorial. This one is focusing on portrait of female character design for comics, video game, and Manga. The process shows drawing and sketching video series of comic book characters that (hopefully) will help you gain knowledge of anatomy and dynamics in the positioning of the figure and the details.

In this tutorial, I will be adding some dynamic foreshortening in the sketch in part 2. In part 1, I'm focusing pretty much on the facial structure and the pose itself. Then I change my mind on the position of her hand and arm so I change it up and make another video for part 2.

A bit about X-men character, Jean Grey: Jean Grey is a fictional comic book superheroine appearing in books published by Marvel Comics. She has been known under the aliases Marvel Girl and later, Phoenix and Dark Phoenix, and is best known as one of five original members of the X-Men, for her relationship with husband Cyclops, and for her central role and transformation in the classic X-Men storyline, the "Dark Phoenix Saga."

Jean Grey is a mutant born with telepathic and telekinetic powers. Her powers first manifested when she saw her childhood friend being hit by a car. She is a caring, nurturing figure, but she also must deal with being an Omega-level mutant and the physical manifestation of the cosmic Phoenix Force. She faces death several times in the history of the series, first in the classic "Dark Phoenix Saga" but due to her connection with the Phoenix Force, she, as her namesake implies, rises from death.

A bit about Captain America, he was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a sickly young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon.

An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers of World War II, Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s
