I've had a few people ask me about how I went about painting the portraits of Thorin and Fili, so I put together a walk through to roughly explain how things were done.

Like I said in the walk through, this isn't me telling you how to paint. You have to find your own work flow, your own process that will work best for you. But I still hope that it will be helpful for some artists out there :)

You'll probably need to Full View it, or download it, but be warned, it's a pretty big file so that it can be read properly.

Great paintings! Thanks for the very useful walk-through, I did not yet start with Photoshop, just bought my first Wacom Bamboo tablet. I will use your walk-through as a guide! I will need a lot of practising first of all!

cool :D
Do you know of any easy way to flip just one layer? Besides using the transform tool and guessing at accuracy of it?
I've found the option to flip the whole image, but I wonder about just part of it...

Thanks for mentioning flipping it btw. I've totally been forgetting to do that. XD

I've been scratching my brain for the past few days and you know, I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it but I can't for the life of me remember how. I'll try and figure it out and get back to you on that one :)

And no problem, tis a really handy thing to remember :) Looking at a traditional piece in a mirror does the same :)

Awesome! Thank you! If you can't, don't stress. Just if you come across it. ^^

I've flipped my current image back and forth a bunch today. It's making such a difference. ^^
