thanks for the great tutorial, i just got a wacom cintiq 12″ tablet and i love it. i still find it difficult to use photoshop to get such nice realistic rendering, so i’ve been using coral painter. i really like how natural it looks as if it’s organic paint or pencils.

I discovered this as I’m creating an activity booklet about Columbian mammoths for children. Would you mind if I use your most excellent progression to inspire kids to try their hand at drawing a mammoth? I would gratefully credit you. Thank you for considering this most helpful gift!
I’m on a tight deadline for this production- a prompt response would be most appreciated.

Carl, a banner of American Proboscids sounds like an amazing idea, and it’s right up my alley of things that I’m highly interested in and things that i love studying on my own. However, you have studied these things for much longer than I… And I could learn a lot from this upcoming post… I know your working on a whales post as well, but I really would love to see this elephant post, as well as engage in some discussion about their appearances - I think your fans want the early whales post first but i still hope to see a post about proboscids!

Carl,

I own a tablet and am starting to learn how to make the best use of it as I illustrate my first book. Your tutorial was very useful and well-done! I’m a bit intimidated yet with the handling of layers.. and your demonstration of steps has shed a lot of light into that.
Thank you!!!

I’ll be looking forward to more!!!

I’m a little late viewing this—but very impressed none the less—-
Great techniques.
I own several Wacom tablets, but I have been hesitating using them for the more detailed projects—this exercise is quite inspiring.
Thanks George!

Drawing a digital australopithecine

Boredom on a friday night makes me embark on epic projects. Tonight, I decided to follow Olduvai George’s entertaining how-to on digital illustration. A bit of background though — I’ve drawn all throughout my life, and have taken a science illustrat…
