In what is probably a nod to their dominant demographic, Smashing Apps, a blog/webzine devoted to online resources for designers and web developers, named the article collecting these Photoshop tutorials “17 Mind-Blowing Digital Painting Tutorials Of Beautiful Girls“.
That being said, it’s still a collection of useful Photoshop digital painting techniques of potential interest to many concept artists, illustrators and comics artists, with a variety of styles and approaches, from anime and traditional comics to more realistic and fully rendered images.
Most are brief, but they cover various stages of sketching and rendering, discuss brushes, layer compositing, brush modes and other aspects of digital rendering.

The anatomy is bad in the ‘Red Assassin’ piece…
Fantastic post. I have painted traditionally for over 20 years. In the last year I migrated to painting digitally. These tutorials are a great addition to the skils I have developed and am always working to improve.
I like the third image.
