Repainting a TIGER in ``Kosta`s style`` :D

Shanti wrote:

Thank you Kosta for the nice explanation! :) This clears a lot in my head!
It sounds like you are a true expert in art science! And your work surely shows it!

I learned repainting just learning by doing (and failing!), studying how other people work, looking and searching for tutorials (there are just a few people who are willing to tell their "secrets") and just doing it. But I am really happy you actually like my repaints!

Thank you Shanti :)
I`m not an expert, but yes, my experience, helps me a lot for repainting :)

And yes, I realy realy like your repaints...you show a lot of talent with them :)
And when I`ll try to repaint also horses with pastels, I`ll try to make it like you :)

I needed to revisit this topic as soon as I could. Repeating a little, to see how talented you are, we only need to see the final product but what caused more admiration while watching all these steps, it is how clever you are. You think in every detail to make it look as much realistic as possible. The final effect is strondous and quite convincing. Susanne is lucky, she deserves to be and we are also lucky of having a top quality tutorial.

Thank you very very much Roger and welcome back
I made this tutorial with pleasure...
and it also helped to me, becouse trying to make and explane every step, I was more careful, more reasoning, more thinking...
so, I can say, that this tiger is at least 2 times better, then my previous Papo tiger :)

Thanks! :) That's also clever, you used the chance of making this tutorial to improve your work that was already more than good.

Yesterday Santa came here from Bulgaria

He was dressed as my postman, but he brought a parcel full awesome models  

One of them was.....         TIGRO , the Bengal tiger  



See a lot more pictures in this Walkaround    

Superb!!!. No words...

AAAAHHH, congrats, Susanne! You have a really good bulgarian Santa. Our, russian, isn't nice...
I think, if to do a supposed background to this tiger, he will be look really alive (I mean not very realistic figure, but REAL tiger as somebody could think), Kosta did an absolutaly GREAT job! Sorry, Kosta, that I didn't say it to you before (my notebook is pretty idiot, and so it just didn't show me your last photos).
I would love to get something by Kosta, but when I imagine, how much details, patience and nerves includs such work, I understand that it is better to trade my sculpture to Kosta's repaint, cause I just haven't enough of money XD

Thank you very much Mgarat and Anasta :))
Anasta, you commented my tutorial so many times, with so great comments... also now, so I`m realy thankful for that

We are all very upset about this. Photobucket, which used to be a free host, suddenly charged app 500 US dollars a year
Of course most gave up using them and found other hosts.
Some Two of our Admins have done a huge job trying to find the pictures and move them to other hosts, but it is not always possible.

So sad that a topic like this is ruined

Hello NRiyaz,
and welcome here from me too :)

Susanne, thank you for your comment and that you explained the situation very well :)

NRiyaz, this is my tutorial .. it is actually not so new , but maybe it is still useful for some members,
so one day I will try to move all these photos to other host and show them here again.
I just can`t find this time I need, to do that now... but I will try :)

Thank you for welcome Susanne and Costicuba

@Susanne, sorry I did not know that
@Costicuba, sorry I did not know that, I came from google images, some of the images can be seen on google (in low resolution) but here they are not shown. Can you please share with me the base color for the tiger. What shade of orange or yellow you use? I am unable to mix a 'realistic' shade.

I hope, now will be more easy for you to understand how I did every step
I have explained and showed all colors which I used, and how I`m using them ... now you will see also the photos, and will be more clear for you.
If you have any questions , be welcome to ask me everything

Wonderful , Kosta

And you know, I am always broud and happy when somebody can use my pictures here
