PAINTING TEXTURE AND MATERIALS : THE CUBE METHOD
Have you ever wondered what one of the most effective ways to master digital painting really is? The answer lies in The Cube Method!
In “Painting Materials and Textures: The Cube Method”, this immersive tutorial will teach you the basics of painting stunning, imaginative cubes that capture the texture of everyday subjects.
Whether you’re new to digital painting or refining your professional portfolio, this is one of the fastest, clearest ways to strengthen form, lighting and texture. The essential fundamentals learned through these exercises will be of incredible value to concept artists, illustrators and game artists alike.

What is in the One-On-One Private Lesson registration?

This is a great opportunity to have an industry artist review your work, do a draw over/paint over of one of your pieces, demonstrate a technique, or review your portfolio and offer career advice.
At the completion of the campaign, you will receive a booking page (Calendly) from David to book your one hour private lesson (the lesson will be held over Zoom.)
What types of cubes are featured in the tutorials?
A range of beginner to advanced textures will be discussed. In the Main Course, materials that will be covered include a basic cube, wood, water, rock, metal, and a surprise advanced texture.
In the Main Course + Bonuses package, there will be 5 more challenging textures including insects, cars, elements and more.
The campaign page represents a preview of these tutorials; there is plenty of extra content planned (including drawing tips and color theory discussion) for the final delivery.
I’m a beginner, will these tutorials be helpful?
Yes! As long as you have a basic understanding of your program (making layers, painting with a brush), artists of all levels can follow along with the tutorials.
Most tutorials are designed with basic layers and brushes to appeal to a wide range of skill levels and programs. For experienced artists, there will also be challenging textures and tutorials that include tips on layer modes and advanced painting techniques.
