Tutorial of the Week – Wookie Rage Part 1 by Chris Oatley
Apparently it’s Chris Oatley week at Escape From Illustration Island, due to the fact that he’s the featured artist in Episode 7 of the EFII Podcast, as well as my pick for this week’s Tutorial of the Week. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of his work, and his Wookie Rage Tutorial (Part 1) is a perfect example of the high level of quality and inspiration to be found amongst the many great resources at ChrisOatley.com. In this video tutorial, he shares a great approach to starting a digital painting off on the right foot, using texture and value, while sharing some of that signature Oatley wisdom.
As a side note, my secondary motive for choosing to highlight this tutorial is to apply a friendly amount of pressure to Chris to release the 2nd part in the series, because watching Part 1 leaves you growling for more.
I hereby put you on notice, Chris Oatley: Release Part 2 or feel the wrath of my wookie rage!
