I'm after good tutorials or workshops for 2D painting techniques (2D freehand digital not Bryce), for any or all of the following: * Cloth / Clothing * Polished Metal * Wall Textures / Dirty Metal Textures I am beyond crap at all of these so I feel I must break the habit of a lifetime and read up. I've decided to "challenge" myself by including all these elements in one image, so try not to imagine the horror that may result. And I know this isn't Bryce, but I thought someone might have come across something in their travels. Please don't look specially, but if you know of anything that would be great.

Oh, and it doesn't matter if it's shop, painter or paint, it's just the techniques I'm after. I wonder if Morpheus had a training package for this in the Matrix? Maybe then Neo would have woken up with the immortal words "I know advanced cloth painting techniques" instead of "I know kung-fu". Er, ignore the last part.

I've actually just found a couple. Not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe they'll point you in the right direction.

Best way is to do a search on 2d techniques, or on PSP, Photoshop, or look right here at Renderosity, that's where I got alot of mine....:)

Cheers m8. The worn metals one looks good - I never really thought about using layers (or objects as they are in PhotoPaint) - cool idea.

Objects with hand painted clip masks! (Give that a try).

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

Incarnadine, there is an easier way than hand painting. Just take a photo with some splotchy looking surface, convert to grayscale, and then play with Levels until you get white and black splotches. Use that as a mask.

Ah, but what I was refering to was the ability to stack varied renders and selectively paint the transparencies. A tablet is absolutely awesome for this. (I use my Wacom with Corel's PhotoPaint see attached image) The same technique as in the link can be used to get specific details from one layer to bleed through into another with interesting uses.
