Art History: Watercolor
Earlier today I posted a tutorial on Spit Shading and explained the principle behind what I do and what most spit shaders do.

Well, I’ve been out of town for the past week. You might have noticed that I hadn’t made a post since my disappearance. I’ve cleverly crafted a way for me to return from my departure.

I have a new section of the site I’d like to start working on: Art History I know to most people art history is really boring and hard to read about. So, what I would like to do is write in my style, some normal guy, about it in terms others can get it in. Most books are loaded with tons of terms that are simply boring. Well, maybe this [...]
