Future twitch tutorial streams explanation
🕑 Added 2020-06-16 17:07:47 +0000 UTCHey everyone, last month I did a survey to get feedback from you guys and I got a lot of good information.
I did share my thought briefly on how I would handle streams in the future, so here's a more detailed explanation and how you guys can participate.
1) Where I'll stream?
I did think about this a lot, and after considering the pros and cons, I decided to stream it on my twitch channel. https://www.twitch.tv/krysdecker
2) When the stream will happen?
Being on a GMT -3 timezone, for this it works on my advantage, since I'm 3-4h ahead of most US times, and 3-4h behind European times. And since most of you guys are in either of those areas, and it's impossible to have a time that's perfect for every country in the world, I'm considering Saturday or Sunday afternoon (my afternoon). So it would be a little after mid day for US and night on Europe.
There will be a "Stream tomorrow at X time" post prior to them, so no worries. The stream is intended to last 1-2h, give or take. And in case you can't attend the stream live, the recording will be available on my twitch for a few days. Also the recording will be available for download later.
3) How will the stream works?
First of all it's not going to be me "painting a pin-up". The idea of the stream is to be a "tutorial stream". Where I can explain how I do stuff, give tips and advices on techniques, how I achieve certain results and whatnot.
This is where you guys come in. I want to know what YOU guys want to know. What are your questions, which parts of drawing you are having problems, what you are interested in seeing how it's done and so forth.
So, in this post, I need you guys to suggest those things. Then I'll organize those suggestions and talk about them on the streams. While the stream will be open to the general public, the topics explained on the stream will only come from you guys.
4) How do I suggest stuff?
This is very important to keep things organized and make sure it works.
- Try to be specific.
"How you draw a body?" is an extremelly broad question and it would take hours on that alone. So it would be much better to focus on specifics parts of the body. Also, keep in mind since it's a Twitch stream, don't ask for "lady/men" parts ;)
- It's ok to ask about techniques, concepts, how I achieve certain effects and things that are more "theory".
- Take a quick look on what other people are suggesting.
If someone else already asked for something you were interested, you can suggest something else you want to see.
- Keep in mind this is meant as an ongoing process on future months, no need to ask everything at once!
- Feel free to ask, if it's something that can't be done, I'll simply reply to your post explaining why.
Anyway, this is the initial idea for the streams, which will be improved and adapted if needed. So if you have any other suggestion, feel free to post them as well!

thanks for the suggestions, that's quite simple to explain =D
I don't draw much myself, but I really enjoy editing art. Would be lovely to see how you approach making skin shiny/oily.

I think those could be split in different sections, so I explore each on their own. Such as: - photoshop basic stuff - blending/shading fundamentals.

This is something I had a lot of trouble myself and had to improvise a lot. But I did get a lot better after I figured out a few things lol

it's definitely possible, I build a lot of references on daz studio using their models. So I can do a quick step by step on how I approach the idea -> execution
I second both discussion on references and how you approach lighting an image. I would love to see basics like how you setup/configure photoshop for digital painting, techniques on blending and hard and soft edges.

I'd like some good techniques for making your subject look integrated into the lighting of a room. I always feel like, though I have a handle on light direction that somehow my characters look 'pasted in.'

I've always been curious how you work with references. If you have an idea in your mind and you can't find a picture of someone in that exact pose, what do you do? I assume there's some piecing together of different, similar-but-not-quite-exactly-right images, but how? Since I think you do a lot of work from reference, it might be informative to see how. As this may be too broad, consider perhaps focusing on how to assemble references for a face at a particular angle or for a body with a particular twist. I'll admit to being particularly curious about novel body positions but realize your typical pinup references may not be appropriate for a public stream. Perhaps you have examples from something like Captain Marvel or you could concoct a simple sketch and discuss how you'd use a couple similar references if you were going to turn that sketch into a full piece.
